Small question about amps

I am planning to buy an amp for my DT990 in 2 week, anything under £90, i want to use it on my pc to play games and music, but i also want to use it with my iphone while in bed or on the sofa. I am planning to buy a portable amp such as a fiio 11k. How does this work, would i be able to use protable amps on my pc with the aux in? or are there amps that have both aux in and usb in for use on foot and on the desk?

 

i was suggested the e10k many times, would i be able to use this with my iphone or an android phone some how?

 

Thanks for any suggestions.

The E11K can be used while charging, so you could use it as a desktop amp if you really wanted. I'd say go for it IF you really need an amp.

Is there any amp/dac combo like the e07k, as in it has aux in and usb in for sound so it can be used at the desk and on the go.

I don't know of any, if one exists someone else here may know. I don't think you're likely to benefit from one anyway.

you probably dont need an amp, and you probably dont need a dac.

 

But, if you actualy need one, e11k is a good one to go with

Some of ibasso's d line can be used as a standalone dac/amp/dac+amp

Will work for electronic components and parts

I take it that you have the volume at or near 100%?
