I have been using my super.fi 5 EB earphone with Archos 420 for a couple of months and have no complain. The sound is clear and the bass is really good. The Archos is running out space and I am searching for a new HD based MP3 player. On doing some research on the net, I become very interested in portable amp and would like to try it out. However, I came across comments that low impedance earphone doesn't work well with portable amp. My 5 EB is rated at 11 ohms.
Is it advisable to put a portable amp between the MP3 player and the earphone? Would someone recommend me a suitable portable amp if it really helps to improve the sounding?
Budget for the portable amp SGD 300. Available locally preferred
Although not decided yet, I will probably get the Sony HD5
