Review: Fiio E7
Feb 4, 2011 at 2:31 PM Post #376 of 548
Hey guys,
 
I currently have a Fiio E5, and I wasn't too worried when I was only looking to drive my ATH-M50/Shure 750DJ, but now that I've bought an Ultrasone Pro 750 I'm thinking to move up to the Fiio e7. Any opinions on how these two match up?
 
Cheers.

Just ordered this amp for my notebook.
Is anyone using Beyerdynamic DT880s with the E7??

How well do you guys think the e7 would match up with a pair of h595's?

I am not sure I hear any benefits of having the HD 595 connected to my E7. I haven't test that seriously, it is just that going from my MBP audiojack to the E7 I don't hear an obvious difference. Just as a baseline, I use my E7 at very low volumes topping at 5-7. 
Maybe the HD 595 are very forgiving.

Thank you very much I didn't know the feature was for that until just reading this post. Hopefully I haven't burned the screen in now that I think of it. Had this device since early January :frowning2:

I have bee running my E7 with the keylock from day one. I don't mind to wait for a while to unlocked it and access any function.  According to the system timer I have been using my E7 for 20 d 7 h 4 m. No sign of burn-in.

What do you mean by burn in? You mean the sound quality of eh E7 will improve with more use. If that's the case I will be running this baby 24/7 lol

Actually, I was referring to the concerns that the screen gets "burn" by continuous use. In regard to sound quality improvement, I haven't appreciate any. However, I just change source and headphones often so changes might be "diluted" just because of that.

To avoid that burning effect of the screen you can set an autolock which automatically turns off the screen after a set amount of time. You have to hold the Menu button then to unlock the device again. I wish it would just turn off the screen automatically without having to unlock it, but its not that big of a hassle.

How well does the E7 hold up in a portable setup with mobile phone (HTC HD2) as source and single-driver custom IEM's? (FLAC file quality typically)
 
Whilst waiting for my custom's to arrive, I'm pondering whether I want to keep the Fiio E5 I have (primarily as a handy-dandy volume controller), step up to an E7 or just stay stock.
 
The customs should be easily driven by the phone as suggested by the manufacturer however I'm wondering if there will be tangible benefits to the E7 over an E7 or just stock in my situation.

I have DT880/600's, which sounds good with the E7 but the E7 just doesn't have enough power to drive it to very high volume. If you have the 32 Ohm version it may be good, however.

You need to choose E7 as your output on the computer (Mac equivalent of control panel or sound device).

When I plug my E7 into my Macbook, all it does is charge.
 
How do I use it as a DAC?
Click to expand...

 
Follow this:
 
Apple icon >> System Preferences >> Sound >> Then look for "USB Audio DAC" and double click on it. Your mac will remember from now on to use your E7 when it is plugged in. (I saw the post above me, but as I'm running OSX I figured I'd give you the exacts lol)

Hey nice find! I won't personally install it because if the E7 is plugged in then it's in use (I have a wall charger for it), but for those who use their laptops to charge it but don't want to use it that's a great little tool.

Thanks this is great news. I just picked up an e7/e9 combo for my 250ohm dt880 pros and I was anxious about this =).
