Hey guys, I'm looking for a dac/amp to drive a pair of HFI 2400's. Would the E07k's work well with these? Is the E07k better then the E10? What sort of differences are there between the E07k and the E17? These cans have a 70 ohm impedance for what it's worth. I have heard the E11 has a better...

Quote: Alright, sounds like that might be the combo I end up choosing.   I've heard that using an amp on a source that is already amplified isn't the ideal method for quality sound, is there any way to use the Fiio E11 as the amp in this setup and just use the Xonar as a DAC (bypass its...

Thanks for the help, it's very appreciated! I think I'll go with getting that sound card you said along with a Fiio E11. Having both of those might be overkill for my purposes but having a headphone amp is useful in general, so it won't hurt to have. Just so I can be 100% sure about everything...

Thanks for the replies!   I'm trying to find a good driver for the Ultrasone HFI 2400's. According to Ultrasones website they have a 70 Ohm Impedence. Somebody told me that using an E10 would work well with these and I was looking at the E17's because I heard they were superior to the E10's...

Hello,   I am looking into getting a Fiio E17 and just have a few simple questions. I'm a beginner when it comes down to this sort of stuff so excuse me if these are silly questions. Since the Fiio E17 is a USB (and headphone) DAC/AMP that means I can plug it into my computer USB jack and...

Thank you all for your input!   I have a friend who has a pair of Q701's I believe so I will borrow those from him to see how I feel about the low end they offer. Just so I know (should they sound adequate to me) what would be a good DAC/AMP for these headphones? I hear that they require a...

Hello,   I've been using garbage headphones and other audio equipment for a while now and have decided I want to invest some money into getting something better. I am hoping to spend around $300 for a good pair of head phones. So far it seems it is between the Sennheiser HD 598's and the AKG...
