Hello guys, How is FiiO Alpen 2 E17K paired with the AKG N40? What are the other recommendations of best portable AMPS to pair with AKG N40 under $100?

Sorry that was a typo on my part. I meant to say the N40. My previous statement still stands.Not the AKG M40X, the one that is coming tomorrow are AKG N40
From AKG website,It's all good . I heard from some other people reviewing this product saying to get more power from this IEM's, i need to use some sort of AMP. Would you recommend any portable AMPs under $100 by any chance?
From AKG website,
Sensitivity: 115dB SPL/V @1kHz
Frequency response: 10-40kHz
MAX input power: 10mW
I'm pretty sure if it's max power input is 10mW you don't need an amp...
I don't believe you should trust everything that reviewers say, especially when it contradicts the given specifications but thats just my "skeptical" opinion. Regardless, for under $100 I'd say the Dragonfly Black is a good choice.
What device do you plan on using this with? Mobile phone? You need to plug all DAC into a digital out. It wouldn't be a DAC otherwise and I don't recommend using a standalone amp unless you have a proper line out.Sorry just looked up the DAC/amp you told me, it looks like this is USB powered. Could you recommend me a portable one that i can carry around outside without needing to plug it in the USB port or computer?
I was planning to use it mostly for mobile phones.What device do you plan on using this with? Mobile phone? You need to plug all DAC into a digital out. It wouldn't be a DAC otherwise and I don't recommend using a standalone amp unless you have a proper line out.
I'm not sure if your concern was you can't plug the Dragonfly Black into your phone or that it draws power from your phone but to clarify the Dragonfly Black does work with all Android's that support OTG and will draw power from your phone.I was planning to use it mostly for mobile phones.
