e7 versus e5, line in amp (jack versus usb)

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

hi

i read the posts on the e7 and have questions

 

i have the fiio e5 amp and it works well on my sony mdr v-6. i am 43 years old but rather a newbie to audio etc.

 

is the e7 with usb input to be used only with a pc?

do portable mp3 players have a usb out for audio?

if so, what make/model have usb out to use the e7

 

for the e7 using line in, will it sound the same as the e5?

from what i read the jack does not utilize the onboard sound card.

 

thx

al

1, If iPad can be regarded as a portable device!  So iPad is the only one that I know which support USB digital auido ouput!

 

   you can use a Camera kits so ipad can connect to E7 and them E7 will work as a USB/DAC amp!

 

2, For the amp only, Although E7 , E5 use the same headphone amplifier IC ( TPA6130A from TI ), but E7 is AD8692+TPA6130A, and E5 is OPA2338UA+TPA6130A, in fact, the sound is different!
