There are not much headphone amps in the market here in Argentina, and usually some prices are highly inconvenient. My knowledge about headphone amps is not much then I'm here asking for some advice.

Most of the time I listen to music using my Fidelio L1, Pioneer Se A1000, or Yamaha's HPH-200 out of an ipod shuffle 4G. Some other times, not much I use my phone as a source (Samsung S5367 with a rockbox app)

I'm considering buying a portable amp to use with my headphones and because I will probably buy a pair of 300Ohm headphones in the future and as far as I know I can't power them properly with an ipod.

Here I can find this products:

Fiio E09K (181 dollars)
Fiio E07K (125 dollars)
Fiio E11 (75 dollars)
Fiio E6 (30 dollars)

Fiio L7 for E7, E07K, E17 (23 dollars)

And sadly that's all.

I don't care for paying 20 or 30 dollars more than the US price but I don't want to pay twice the price, wich is quite normal here. For example: Grado's sr60i costs 135 dollars!!!!!!!!

If there is no other option I will have to wait until travelling to europe or asking a friend of mine who live in the US to bring me a good amp, probably at the end of the year.

Many thanks!!

The E11 is pretty good for the price but JDS labs C421 are amazing for the price.

Many thanks! I think I will buy Fiio E11, since there aren't JDS Labs products in my country.
