Hello, I have exactly the same decision. Did you pick rha t20 or ibasso it01?

T20 is the better headphone by quite a bit. especially the new ones, with the MMCX connectors.

T20 has a more agile and cleaner bass. It goes deep, but doesn't muddy up the mids.
Mids on the T20 are the star of the show, very clean and expressive. Instruments separation is much better than the IT01. The Ibasso sounds muddy by comparison, and has lower clarity. Treble is controlled, with a bit of shimmer, and has no peaks. It's a very nice IEM, a bit harder to drive than the IT01, but has a blacker/cleaner background because of the lower sensitivity.
Overall, it's well worth the money I think.

Wonderful, thank you. My source is only a little Sansa Clip+ so I worry that it may not power the T20. I'll investigate!
