Any suggestions for a cheap amp to go with Audio-Technica ATH-IM50 ?

I use ASUS Xonar U3, its a capable dac/amp for the price, got it for Rs 1800,(slightly old)..
but its nowhere near as strong as higher end amps, u can go for ASUS Xonar u5 or fiio e11k which is an amp with no dac(5k)

FiiO 11K seems pretty good for the price. I was browsing the Audio Technica catalogue, and I stumbled upon their Bluetooth amp AT-PHA50BT, nothing special with 100mW total power, but is kinda versatile and is available for 8K approx import. Should I go with that one or FiiO 11K ? To be honest, ATH-IM50 itself are kind of a mystery to me.

What is your audio source ? PC ? Laptop or Phone ? ..
IF you buy a DAC + Amp..
If you are using directly out of PC, you will experience a massive upgrade, definitely go for it.. If your laptop has dolby or a good enough DAC, then you will not experience any sound quality improvement at all, just a loudness in volume.. Same thing with phones, depends on phone also..
If you buy a AMP,
it just boosts volume, remember crappy sound will be boosted to crappier sound, so do know this before makign a decision..

Yup, I understand. Primarily, it will be my Galaxy S7 and Ipad Air 2 for listening music. The source of the music itself is Itunes/Apple Music, so I guess the quality of audio files is good enough. Personally, I don't use my PC at all of listening and stuff, although it does have an okay output. I will receive my IM50 today, so let's see if it needs a DAC/AMP or a AMP.

both have sufficiently good DAC, buying an amp like the e11k is more than sufficient for your needs

For this kind of usage it will be great to invest in Fiio Q1 (DAC+AMP) which can be use OTG DAC mode for your mobile devices as well DAC for your PC if needed - If you don't want just use the Amp section via Line IN mode for now.
IM50 or M50x don't require any Amp but if you use one it will definitely changed the sound signature.
Can anyone recommend a good pair of IEMs for <1k. I've been using soundmagic es18 since a long time but the first one lasted 6 months while the 2nd had no sound in one ear(broken cable?) after a year of use. So, I'm looking for build quality. Listen to pink floyd, classic rock and metal mostly so something balanced would be nice. Really love es18's sound though, it's just the build quality.
hey all,
recently i bought a pair from headphonezone.in and i returned it as i wanted something else, in return that gave me credit money which i can you only on their site.now the product i want is available on amazon but i have money stuck on headphonezone.
if anyone wants to buy a pair of cans i can give you the headphonezone coupon or we can come on teamviewer and you can buy me the pair from amazon (send me gift card) and i can buy you pair from headphonezone
i called them too and asked when the product will be available they said they don't know.so i have to exchange credits otherwise my money will be stuck with headphonezone i don't know till when
