The AE-2 has tighter bass and sounds more relaxed then the predator. The i-Qube is still brighter and faster. Both are high-end amps. Just audition them and make your choice

What's the list price now for AE-2 and Predator?

Whats your budget? What do you usually listen to?

I don't really have a fixed budget. Looking for one that can last me quite some time before upgrade bug bite.

I listening to all kind of music but more toward Jazz.

I just bought the Shure SE530 recently? Planning to upgrading to a better amp than ibasso T2 that come free with the purchase. Presently I find it sound slightly too warm. Anyone has any recommendation? Happened to saw the i-Qube which look good but yet to hear it. Btw, my source is a iPod 5.5.
