just after some advice if anyone could assist...

my fiio E5 amp is on its last legs so i need to replace / upgrade.

i have always felt that the E5 was not as good as the more expensive ones but never wanted to spend much so anything was better than nothing

i would like a portable size amp with good sound quality and one which offers a little extra kick at the bottom end.
i don't want to spend over £100 ideally

my IEM's are Phonak PFE 112's and the music source would be my iphone mostly

cheers

Have a look at the Fiio E7, I've heard very good things about it, and it can be paired with the E9 to make a fully fledged desktop headphone amp system at just a tad over £100, or used alone as a portable amp for around £50.

Or Ibasso D2, a bit over budget though, but it's very good.
