Triple 10s benefit from a Fiio e11?

Yes.

NP enjoy hte combo. You should be pleased with them. What LOD are you looking at and what is your budget?

What are the differences between these cables besides the shape of the plugs?

Just while this is still in my copy-and-paste buffer ...

FIRST CLASS:

• Small and light
• Relatively low noise
• Flat frequency response
• Low output impedance
• Significantly improved performance over Mini3
• Two gain options
• USB battery charging

ECONOMY:

• Cannot use the amp on external power (can only run from the battery)
• Even the high gain setting limits output with iPod LOD input
• Fails to meet published power specs at 1% THD both channels driven
• Third channel creates some interchannel distortion and degrades performance
• Some moderate low frequency phase shift
• Shows signs of instability with difficult loads 
• Odd clipping behavior into 15 and 33 ohms implies power supply limitations
• Significant RF leakage from DC-DC converter into output

And you posted that why?

Yes the shape of the plug is the only difference. The l3 has straight plugs vs the l connectors of the l9. I find the L9 does not work well with the ipod and e11. Take a look at my review for pics. I wound up having to put clear bumpers on the bottom of the amp to give enough space to adjust the volume. I also find the L9 does not stay in as tight as the l3 would.

Here is with the bumpers

This is without the bumpers

Ah. Well they said stay on the path but I still ended up with butterfly on my shoe.

Relax - if you want to see what serious moderation looks like, check this out:

The mod in this instance is a complete Nazi - makes me wonder why any of us post on Whirlpool.

I see, thanks for the pics!

Given that his blog has already been linked to, you can go there and read his side of the story. Its all there under the entry 'Banned from Head-Fi'. I believe the main reason we are discouraged from discussions of the individual in question is that it rapidly becomes a flamefest. Enough said.
