Tried using other amplifiers with some bass boost? That could've help I guess.

The fad nowadays is Sony MDR-Z7. Honestly, I haven't heard it so I couldn't say too much about it apart from what I've heard over the internet and from few first hand accounts, that it's among the top in its price range.
 
I would suggest you to try listen to them before deciding. I can't tell which one might suit you best. If I were to throw random suggestions, it could be a wild goose chase lol.
 
Nevertheless, I'll point out a few usual suspects for the amps:
 
Portables:
Fiio E12 (best if you could get the DIY version, or wait till the IEM version).
Alo RX-Mk3 (with bass boost)
Anything with bass boost and low impedance.
 
Btw, what is the setup that you're imagining? Laptop? Or use a portable audio player?

Yeah i know. I mean, desktop setup sometimes can be big, so people would opt for portables to save desk space. Unless you have something like the schiit stack, which is considerably small in size. And also the iFi micro DSD. Good setup for DSD playback.
 
Btw, I heard the iFi iCan before. Quite enjoyable. Especially the 3D and bass boost. You may enjoy it too. Now comes in V2.
