Hi Everyone, I have returned my Denon AH-D600 Headphones and I need a decent portable amplifier to drive them and some new headphones. I will be listening mostly to dubstep, However I listen to everything from 70s, 80s, 90s, and Rap\Hip-hop for 2000-2013 so it’s a wide range. I would...

So  I recently found that I've bought some headphones that have a bit (forgive my lack of technical terminology in my early posts) too much resistance for the equipment that I own.  I believe that's how a layman should word it, anyways.  I've got a 10+ year old RCA MP3/CD player amp, an ipod...

As one of very few who knew about FiiO's X3 project very early on since 2010, it has been quite a roller coaster ride. It was originally intended as a DAP with good line-out and digital-out but only decent amp section, in so keeping the price tag low enough on the device itself but allow the...

Hey, I recently bought Beyerdynamics DT770 Pro 250 ohms and I thought that they lacked a bit of bass and volume.   So I decided to buy a Fiio E6 amplifier which made a great difference, but I still think they lack a bit of bass and volume.   It is going to be mainly a mobile use, and I...

I really need a new amp but i'm trying to find one that fits my specific needs. I don't know why but there's something about my ipod mini that i just really like, but after recently aquiring the Ultrasone Signature DJ as my portable can i really need a new amp. I'm looking for an amp that will...

I have seen a lot of people, including myself have asked the same question. How does a amp effect beats pro headphones. But before I start, I know many of you think that they are a waste, they aren't good, and there is a lot better, they cost to much, well this is not what this thread is about...

So I've had an nice experience with Fiio in the past, my LP2 x E17 combo was incredible. The E17's don't work too good on the M100s, and I was recommended the E12. Got it today. One gripe... The sound pretty much sounds the same. :/ I don't know if Addicted To Audio will allow a return, I've...

Hi Folks, I just got Fiio E12 as my second portable amp, previously I'm using Fiio E11 and have no issue with the EMI beeping noise ? My current portable gear on the go is iPhone 5 --normal line out cable from Fiio--> Fiio E12 ---> Westone 4R IEM, I clip my iPhone and Fiio E12 amp with the...

I'm currently running my Denon D2000s through a Fiio E11. However, I know that this amp isn't bringing these phones to their true potential. Also the short battery life and inability to charge while in use is kind of killing it for me.   I've been out of the game for a while and have no idea...

Okay so i got me the fiio e12, and i love this lil thing. I am using the 3.5 to 3.5 connection feom my ipod, anx i have read that the line out connector is better. So here is my question. Fiio makes on and it sells for 10.00 on amazon, but i have seen others all the way to several hundred...

I just got a pair of Sennheiser 429s as a gift from a friend and I've found that when I plug them directly into my Presonus Central Station they have almost no highs. The only sound that comes through is the is the mids and lows. Plugging them into the passthrough on my 2.1 speakers that I then...

Since the success of our flagship portable amplifier Mont Blanc (E12),  we will release a limited edition, the detail information will be release soon, but we need your help to choose the color so we can separate the limited edition with the mass production version.   The DIY version will...

This is basically an extension of the sub-$100 amp shootout as the evaluation and scoring method are essentially the same. As always, this comparison is only a subjective evaluation and nothing more than my own personal opinion.   Evaluation Method Sources: Sansa Fuze via custom LOD...

Which is better, specs wise? I've noticed the mont blanc is slimmer, but is it better than the E17 Alpen? What's the difference? I use my E17 for DAC and Portable use. Basically, Fiio E17 Alpen vs 12 Mont Blanc?

I'm interested in a high quality portable DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) for my iPod. I'm currently using a FiiO e12 Mont Blanc, so I don't need an amp/DAC combination.   Will a DAC enhance the sound quality over what I'm currently using? If yes, any recommendations on which brand is...

I've been looking at the JDS Labs ODAC, I have a FiiO e12 Mont Blanc and audio technica ath-m50's.  I was wondering, will that set up work all together or will I have to look into  the JDS Labs O2+ODAC to make it all work in sync?   Thanks!

Hello everyone,    I am purchasing the HE-400's and I'm looking for an amp to drive them. I heard these headphones are easy to drive so my budget is around $100? Any suggestions? Any feedback would be awesome!!

I'm kinda confused, can I use Fiio E12 with my Samsung S4 ? Line out that is.  Also, is Fiio E12 better than E18? I been wondering around the forums and been seeing alot  of people saying E12 is better than E18 in terms of sound quality. Sorry, i'm new to these stuff.

I have a Cowon C2 and Sennheiser HD 598 / ATH M 50. I do not have any headphone amps. I am considering buying a Fiio E12. Will there be a considerable improvement in sound quality? Cowon with BBE already sounds great to my ears. Please advise. Is there another headphone amp (less than 150 $)...

Hi, so i've just bought a pair of used akg 701 (should be broken in already), and i've got a fiio e12 coming in the post.   So far i'm pretty unimpressed by the sound! Maybe i'm just not going to like these headphones if I want more of a exciting listenting experience with a bit of...
