I'm looking at getting into higher quality audio products and being that I travel frequently am starting out with an IEM/portable amp purchase. My budget is roughly $900 for both, and was seeking recommendations on which IEMs/portable amp to purchase.

My main music styles are electronic, dance and pop, I occasionally listen to rock as well though. My source is an iPhone and a PC, so an amp with a DAC would be preferred.

Many thanks for your advice!

Sennheiser IE8 and RSA Predator. That's about $900 right there.

My plan with roughly the same budget is to get a Pico Slim, you can still get in on the pre-order here, and to custom-fit (re-mold) some Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10 Pros @Fisher Hearing.

Both setups look fantastic, one additional question; in connecting the iPhone to the amp, do either of you have a recommendation for said cable?

Thanks

I bought a Qables iPod LOD. You can get LOD's anywhere pretty much and even find quality ones for sale on this forum.

As far as an IEM the triplefi 10's are awesome(With the proper seal). I power mine with a rsa p-51 mustang and my source is a sansa fuze. the sound is something to behold. RSA amps are top notch IMO, I have read nothing but great things about pico, lisa III , and Qables IQube.

Why not skip the IEM/Amp and just get the JH13 for $200 more?
