Hi all,   I unfortunately have a broken cable on my hands for hte HE-500 (stock cable).   Does anyone know if this is fixable? Thanks!

Hi IwasDerp,   I am basically in the same position as you! I believe you need a L7 in order to connect the output of the FiiO E17 to the emotiva. The L7 allows you to use the E17 as a standalone DAC, bypassing the amp portion. 

Guess ill pick up an emotiva and see how i like it! I hope i get the cabling figured out though. 

Im interested. Count me in :)

so if i get a robinette box and a speaker amp, thatll be all i need to connect the headphones to the amp?  i assume ill need cables to connect the box to the amp (provided?) sorry, im terribly noob when it comes to the electronics, but it sounds convenient, and cosmetically nice too :) 

Hi everyone,   Thinking about getting one of these for my new HE-500. Unfortunately i have no access to soldering; is there any CON to sonido's "20$ connection to the emotiva" ? I am thinking of pairing them in this method, unless someone is willing to make the cable for me, which i will be...

Just got my HE-500's and am loving them. Driving from a fiio e17 but thinking about getting a Matrix M-stage or a schiit combo...my limit is about 250. any suggestions? Not sure how much sound quality ill get from upgrading and if its even necessary.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have no experience with speaker amps, and im not sure if im comfortable with putting in resistors to get rid of the background noise...might have to look for a dedicated headphone amp. 

Hi everyone,   I just caved in and bought a HE-500, and am super stoked for it to arrive in the mail. Upgrading from an ATH-AD900x /FiiO E17 dacamp. I was looking around for possible amping for my new cans to do them justice. So far I have seen many recommendations for the Emotiva a-100 Mini-X...

gonna be my first headphone convention ^^ excited to see all your setups and listen to dozens of headphones ive only been able to read reviews about xD

hey guys,  i am looking for a purchase of ad-2000s. i currently have the ad700's and absolutely love the sound sig, and i heard a friend's ad-2000's and fell in love with them! if anyone sees a good deal on them itd be great if you'd hit me up^^ although these seem to sell out so fast in the...

Quote: yea i thought it wouldnt help the 700 sound as much, but im in pretty dire need of a DAC now because of my laptop headphone jack being busted, and looking for the best combo for it   

Hey guys,    atm ive been listening to AD700's happily, but ive been looking around for a solid DAC/amp to buy, especially since the headphone jack on my laptop is totally busted :(. ive been looking at the FIIO E7, Nuforce uDAC2, and the ZERO, but i cant really tell the difference in...

Looking to upgrade my AD700's. Love them alot, so i was wondering if i should fork up some money to buy AD2000's, because ive grown so used to open ear cans. I listen to mainly female vocal/classical, and rock..pretty much looking for a headphone thats similar to the AD700, but willing to...

After checking, I know for a fact that it isnt the cable. It sounds more like rattling on louder notes inside. I dont know why but I had called shure and they had said my warranty was no longer valid...maybe ill try calling again...
