I'd like to have a portable system with IEM (maybe custom buds)
And I wonder which combo may sounds better.
 
(1)hifiman HM-801 with GAME module
(2)hifiman HM-801 lineout to portable AMP (as Corda Stepdance)
 
Not considering to what cable that connect the HM-801 and the amp (mid/low level)
Which will gives more balance & overall sound?
 
Thanks for advice

I've heard several amps such as the RSA Shadow, Pico Slim, ALO Rx MK2, and iQube all feeding from the line-out of my HM-801. They offered a different sound signature than the amp already inside the HM-801 but not improved sound quality. Surprisingly, I found the amp inside the HM-801 to be a bit more clearer.

I'm also wonder if the colorfly C4 can compete with HM801?
Cause the C4 supports 192KHz/24Bit,where HM-801 supports 24bit/96khz.
So I'm really curious about the comparison of C4 & HM-801 with GAME module.
Has anyone tried them out?
