Reply to comment by malrats in Is it worth it to buy a cheap amp/DAC if I don’t own one at all? Like the Fosi Q4. by malrats

It's a very cheap Chinese portable amp off Amazon I got for like $20. Its smaller than a deck of cards & I swear the battery is just rattling around in there. Would not recommend, but I made a cheap impulsive buy to satisfy my curiosity.

That said... it does the trick. Boosted the k240s nicely while adding a touch more bass. Didn't notice any crackle or distortion, even with the Moondrop Chu or Aria SE.

Sounds like you're looking to amp from a TV & I've sadly got no clue on that front. Best of luck finding a solution!

Oh no, no TV for me. At most I would use the USB part of an amp on a game console sometimes but I mostly play Xbox and it doesn’t support USB devices like that unless they’re stamped and certified by Xbox.

I wish I could get a Magni and Modi but it’s just too much for me.
