Probably either the Predator or Pico..... both are on the verge of shipping soon... Do a search on either name...

Thanks for now, just for better understanding.
I want to use the amp with my iAudio7 and with UE triple fi 10.
Will the amp improve the quality of the sound and if yes my next question is HOW?

Pls. note that I do not have any expiriences with amps untill now so thank you in advance for any help.

I guess what you want is a DAC with variable output... rca or headphone out?

It depends on what a rca is... as I said I am a noob

so what I mend is that it would work through a headphone out.

Is it efficient to use a amp for a headphone out?

The i7 is an insanely powerful player (amp-wise), and the Triple.Fi's are insanely efficient IEMs. I'm quite sure neither of those benefit from a dedicated amp in between them. Since the i7 has no real line-out, I actually don't see a real need for an external amp. The improvement might be in the "last 5%", if at all.

So finally I have a answer which sounds good enough. So thank you for saving my money.
