Anyone suggest Sennheiser IE8 yet? You definitely need to audition these!

Fiio x3 will definitely work as a dac/amp with a laptop/pc. Before plugging the x3 in, change the USB function setting on it to "DAC" (instead of "USB"). You may need to update to the latest firmware I'm not 100% on that.   I have both the x3 and e07k and I feel the x3 is the better one of the...

Sennheiser IE8 isolates really well, particularly with some Comply ear tips, and as a bonus the isolation will allow these IEMs to seriously shake your brain with bass if you set them to do so

This will sound like a pretty dumb question, but I just wanted to confirm anyway on whether I should wait for this or not...   Is the E12 an Amp only or DAC as well?   If it's an amp only as I suspect it is, do you guys think it will be overkill for my AKG K550s? At the moment I have a...
