Not quite right, you need to use a FiiO L9 LOD (or something similar) with the Apple Lightning to 30 pin adapter for your Nano 7th Gen to avoid double amping.  The VAMP is for iPhone 4/4S only so it won't work for you (it will if you use the adapter but it's not great), and the VERZA is really the way to go plus it is cheaper.

is that verza compatible with iphone 5 as an external DAC? does that prevent double amping or the DAC thing in the iphone? man this is really killing my wallet hahahaha but i really do appreciate sound quality

Yes, the VERZA was designed with iPhone 5 and iPod Touch 5th Gen in mind.  You can get the iPhone 5 to dock with the VERZA directly with the Matello case too.  However, you will need to get a short Lightning to USB interconnect on your own, or use the Apple Lightning to micro-USB adapter with a micro-USB to USB cable.

Sure, but the L9 LOD plus the adapter will only cost you $10 + $25-30 new.  And I would like to think you can spare $40 while saving up $600 for the VERZA .
