It's obviously not what I was looking for, then. I was looking for overall improvement, which it did in small amounts, but was way too loud for me.
An amp made your headphones louder? You don't say...

I bought FiiO's flagship amp, the E12 Mont Blanc, and it did nothing but hurt my ears and increase the bass. Explain how I'm talking crap if I'm talking from my experience, since I've owned 2 pairs of M100s, 2 pairs of LP2s, 1 FiiO E17 and 1 Fiio E12 mont blanc?
If you're talking DAC, of course the sound will be better.
It's possibly through my experience that I didn't let the amp break in, idk.
I used the E17 with my LP2s, not a big improvement, but overall a good improvement.

This is a completely inaccurate statement. While there are amps that provide greater sonic improvement, it is not even debatable that FiiO amps provide more power than is needed for every low impedance headphone on the market, including the M-100.
So let's cut the whole discussion short, what would then be a good amp/Dac to improve the overall Sound Quality? Considering the instrumental separation, vocals and bass?
Yes for portability. I am able to handle the bass, but my concern is how to improve the SQ especially the instrumental separation and vocals...

An amp's job is to increase the power capabilities of a driver. Whether it's a headphone amp for headphones/earphones or a stereo/integrated/tube/power amp for speakers. It amplifies the power for the drivers. Isn't that common sense?
Now for the increased bass, there's an EQ setting for the FiiO E12 and most of the FiiO amps. You can always set it to a different EQ or simply bypass it of you don't want to enhance sound quality and prefer a flat response and no added bass. But still, the amp will automatically amplify it with increased driving power. From your signature, you're an "audiophile" so you should have known that already. But from the way you explained it, your statement according to your experience is absolutely inaccurate.
Who cares if you own a dozen of M100s, LP2s, etc, etc. I have an M100 and it does make a big difference when I'm using my E6 on it. Obviously, if the E6 can amplify and enhance the sound quality of the M100, more so for higher models especially the E12.
So your post is misleading other people who would want to try an amp for their M100. Telling them it's useless is talking crap.
I'm waiting for the release of the Fiio E18 DAC/amp, compatible with Android phones... Given the specs of it, do you guys think it will be a good match for the M-100?

There may still be issues with the S4.
The E18, however, works with both phones.
I vaguely remember having a quick discussion with you earlier in this thread in which the issue to which you were referring turned out to between the S4 and the Verza, which is a special case (as it were).
