Morning All
My son has decided that he wants an amp for his forthcoming birthday.
After a lot of testing of my kit he has decided it must be portable, although he really wanted an X-CAN like the V1 that Mike did for me,he realises that he won't get the use out of it. He wants me to let him have my RSA SR71 but that is not an option.
He has a 30 minute commute by bus every day and all the children tune in and listen to god knows what and an unamplified ipod needs a major upgrade. It is likely that it will also spend a lot of time plugged ino his laptop so would an amp with a dac be worth considering
So your recommendations for a great sounding portable amp please.
Ebay seems to be full of Fiio's are they any good?
Happy to buy 2nd hand and if anyone has a gem lost in the back of a drawer please let me know.

All you need is love. But money helps too.

I have not heard this but it has received positive remarks from those that have. But it is from the U.S. Not sure what that would add to the cost and it's USB link.

Fiio E12 is simple and has lots of power. Very well made amp.

Thanks for that.
Unfortunately I think he might be veering towards a mini style system for his bedroom.
A Fatman Mitube has been suggested.

I got a Bravo Ocean valve amp, and cheap tho it is, the sound is excellent.
