So, I'm thinking to get FiiO E11 as my portable amp. But, is it worth an upgrade? I'm currently using Viper4Android sound mod which made me very satisfied with its ViPer Bass and Viper Clarity that where you can make the Bass heavier (I'm a bit of a basshead) but you can still hear the singer...

Do anyone have a chance to compare the Fiio E11 side by side with E12 mini amp using an iPod Classic ( 120 GB / 160 GB Cirrus Chip )? I've seen a review comparison on the net but using an iPod 5.5 Gen Video.  The latter has a warm signature while the classic is detail, so I can't rely on that...

So I don't know much about DAC's or amps. But let me try this to see if I'm correct about how to do it. Schiit Modi-Connected via Optical to my HDTV Using this cable,plug the RCA into the Modi and the 3.5 end to the E11 Plug my headphones into the E11. Or the Schiit. Which is it? And does it...

Which DAC would be best for that setup? The cheaper the better, but I can go up to $200.   I use FLAC files off my laptop as my audio player, but I'll be getting a new smartphone tomorrow which I may use instead.

It took me a while to figure it out, but I troubleshot my own problem.  Apparently my iPod's 3.5mm jack just went bad and it's making anything connected to it sound like total garbage.  I guess it's time to return my brand-new FiiO e11 and pick up an X5 DAP.  ;)   Thanks for reading and sorry...

The two EQ settings for bass on the E11 don't quite cut it for me. I've been looking at he E17 as it has many levels of bass boost (Upto 12db I think?) correct me if I'm wrong. $100 max. Maybe a little more but no more than $150. My headphones are the ATH-Pro700 MK2,so no I don't need a bassier...

I've been using a pair of Philips Fidelio X1's for awhile now. Still using the stock cable, but I do have a v-moda cable sitting on the shelf that's just waiting to be used. It's just a tad too short to reach the back-end of my PC, though. These headphones are mostly used for listening to music...

hi i have a question i have hd558 along with ipod classic 5.5 gen with rockbox installed. DO i need fiio e11 or any portable amp or it wont make any difference?  currently my ipod works fine with grado sr60i and koss ksc75 moded

Hello all,   I bought a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80o's and along with it a Fiio E11 amplifier.  Everything was going smooth until about an hour ago when I was playing around with a kick in Ableton and turn the volume up too high.  Now, if any even remotely low frequency plays in the...

So I couldn't find an exact answer to my question on Tom's Hardware and figured this would be where the kings of audio knowledge would be.   Simply put I'm not sure what to get as many threads I've seen have mixed answers but that was from 2011 and 2012 so maybe people have more input on it...

So I started making music in high school we had a class that I took for 4 years and I got into heavy bass and recently I ordered a few sets of headphones and fiio e11 I ordered skullcandy aviator roc nations beats ! Tudios and sony mdrv55s I like the sound of the aviators and studios im curious...

Just got these today--about 110.00 from Amazon Warehouse, and although the seal had been broken, they were in perfect shape; indeed, the seal for the VERY high quality cords had not been opened.   These are great phones.  Very comfortable, with a balanced sound and very comfortable indeed.  I...

So, I had a Fiio E11 amp and after letting my friend try it out, he ended up ordering his own. For some odd reason, our 2 E11s look different. So, did one of us get an older model? A counterfeit? First off, both were ordered from Amazon. The front of mine simply says Fiio, his says Fiio...

I have my laptop loaded with music in a FLAC format. I am working thru how to connect to my  AV receiver to enjoy the music thru that system as well. My laptop has a HDMI connect and the receiver has multiple HDMI connects, is it as simple as connecting the laptop and receiver with an HDMI...

Which combo would be better suited for iems? Don't necessary require a lot of power.   My main priorities is to have no background noise/hiss at any volume, channel unbalance (at low volume) or IF interference when outdoor.    I already own the Fiio E11 and using it with a L9 LOD to my ipod...

Allow me to start by admitting that I am not purchasing this DAC (and amp I would assume) because I am dissatisfied by my onboard audio. While it certainly isn't anything to brag about, it doesn't sound like junk. Rather, I am purchasing this DAC because I have a desktop placed on the floor and...

I listen to mostly heavier electronic music, rap, and hip hop with heavy bass. I am a total basshead. As much as I love quality sound, I really love bloated, powerful, and punchy deep bass. Now, I don't want my bass to be too overpowered where the rest of the music is basically nonexistent.  ...

I'm looking for some powerful in-ear earbuds. I listen to mostly Electronic music, hip hop, and rap. So I'm looking for incredibly powerful bass at high volumes, without the other stuff getting distorted. I currently use UrBeats buds by Dre. Honestly? They're not bad, considering they're beats...

I picked out the Fiio e6 or the Cmoy http://www.ebay.com/itm/Audiophile-CMOY-headphone-amplifier-made-with-high-quality-part-in-USA-Blank-Tin-/121266111037?pt=US_Home_Audio_Amplifiers_Preamps&hash=item1c3c06023d Which would be better and are there some that are better then these?

Getting on and off my beloved CIEMs in the office became a pain in the... (you know where), so I decided that I need to buy a well isolating headphone (without any leak outside), so nobody get's frustrated with my music, but if necessary (and it is often!) I can fast and easily answer to anyone...

Amp is included in the $300 price range. Hell,make it $400 total. I've heard the AKG Q701 have an excellent soundstage. For around $200 and then maybe $200 towards a new amp. For music mostly but I need it for gaming too. Now I use the Sennheiser HD518--->Fiio E11--->Line out on the Fiio to 3.5...

Good day!   I have this simple dilemma. I picked up a cheap Superlux HD headphones and there's this little voice inside me forcing to use an amplifier. My setup would be, use the amplifier for my Macbook when working and at the same time for my iPhone whenever I'm on the road. So, I chose...

hi ,   I have a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro, but I do not have an amp. I usually use them to game, movies, anything. I have no idea which to buy, and I see that FiiO is really popular, but have no clue where to turn .   Recommendations are appreciated. This amp will be plugged into a...

Hello I've got a Beyerdynamic dt 880 250 ohm. I got kind of cheap, and am currently running it with a Fiio e11. Works decently, I can get ample power when used through my laptop... Was wondering if it's worth the upgrade to E12 and what the benefits of that would be.

I have a Cowon C2 which I use with sensitive IEMs such as the SE535, so I've never felt a need to amp. Recently Head-Fi has been infecting me more than usual and I want to get into full size cans. I'm thinking AKG K550 with a Fiio E11. The problem is my Cowon doesn't have a line out. What...
