I enjoy my cMoyBB for use with my Sennheiser PC 360s. I know I need some cans for music but at the moment I am using my gaming headset. Is there much of a use to amp cheaper IEMs? I purchased the Brainwavz M2, just waiting for them to come in.

I'll say you should save your money to get a nicer pair of headphone first, then worry about amping later.

I understand that but ATM I own PC 360, brainwavz M2, and the cMoyBB. I just wanted to know if anyone had positive experiences with the M2s and an amp. I am currently in search of what I want out of my music headphones. I NEEDED an amp on my PC 360s for my laptop/iPhone because I couldn't get loud enough volumes without turning up everything near 100%. My laptop integrated puts out more power than my USB Recon3D does, then again my laptop with Beats Audio which I'm almost sure it includes a better amp than most integrated.
 
I do understand I need better cans before I worry about a GOOD amp and that's why I purchased the cMoyBB instead of the O2+ODAC, leaving room to keep on with my journey for a good music listening experience.

Personally I'll say not, your M2 doesn't need an amp. It get plenty loud with most source and doesn't improve a lot by amping. Of course, the easiest way to determine is to find out for yourself, since it is on its way to you.

Yea main thing i thought was that i would be able to bypass the internal amp but it seems like i will be getting a walkman soon

Heya,
Do you plan on adding the Woodwind to this review?
Very best,

Yes, but only after the final version is out.

Gotcha, quick question, did you find the the Woodwind to be more intimate, and detailed, but still have more bass and a better soundstage than the E7? I've been hearing the E7 as much smoother, darker, and lusher, while Woodwind is more in your face.

I have not heard E7 for so time now (mine is long gone). But the difference in SQ is so big between E7 and Woodwind, I really don't think they are comparable directly. Woodwind should easily win out.

I much prefer the woodwind unless I listen and want to sleep or are listening to very euphonic songs.

FiiO e11 is available at woot.com for 45$, is this a good deal?

Sorry to hijack the thread but would it be a good fit for me with shure e530 and v-moda m80 + iphone 5(flac/alac/320)?

The e11 is a great little amp. Good battery life and quality sound and for $45 that's a steal!
 
 
Thanks,

Any idea how the SOUND compares to the e17? I could use the dac for my pc as well...

SQ is comparable between the two. E17 is slight more balanced though, where E11 tends to feel more bassy.

How's the sound if my SE215 use the FiiO RC-SE1 cable and the FiiO E11
