I agree on investing more so on your IEMs or heaphones before spending big bucks on sources. Although you can do it both ways regardless.
I think the key argument till now constantly has been why do we need to have a need for a n amp from a unit which has advertised itself as an audiophile all in one solution?'I'm using GR07s ($250) with T1 amp ($250) and AK100 ($640) while I wait for my Miracles to come back and the sound is exceptional for just over $1100. As good as with Miracles? No, but this combo already beats iPod 5G with T1 and Miracles so if I had to choose I'd go with AK100, amp, and good lower priced IEMs.
Depending on taste there are a few options like GR07, etc. Also AK100 and Heir Tzar 350 is another possibility without needing amp.
What sound signature do you like, Ivabign?
Will the sound breakup if volume is increase ?

I guess my JH16's 18ohm impedance doesn't really suit the stock AK100's 22ohm impedance isn't it.
