Question

What type have you looked at abroad?

The only headphone amps I've seen are mains powered such as my Musical Fidelity X-Can V2. It is small enough to carry in a briefcase or something.

What would you be using the headphone amp with? And please don't say headphones.

Used for improving sound from portables as most have poorish on board amps. Can also be used as conventional domestic headphone amp. Has the ability to run on batteries.

Have been looking at this site which is US based

here

You've probably found this site anyway, but if not someone here may be able to help you. http://www.head-fi.org/ Ask in the amps forum.

http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cg...A-2&type=store could be another option but again from the USA.

And only mains powered, so not suitable for use on the move.

Thumbs up

Yeah, been to that site folks. That was what got me thinking about how much potential say an iPod might have with really decent earphones and a supplementary amp. They have a classified section so maybe I,ll check that out.
