Yo.Title.   I have been wondering: Is one of them straight out better?   Greetz Teepo

Hi guys, so I've pretty much bought the two headphones that complete my current audio phase of life.   Now as the title of the thread indicates I have the following.   i. AKG q701's - Super sale for $250(CAD) ii. Sennheisers 363D 7.1's for gaming. - Super sale $199(CAD)   Now, I've...

I currently have a Fiio E17 and a DT 990 Pro 250 ohm. I absolutely love this combo! The problem is I want something that I can use at work and need something that doesn't leak like the DT 990 does. So my question is what closed headphone can I get that would sound the closest to the DT 990 Pro...

Hi, I recently purchased a DT 880 Premium 250ohm headphones and I'm loving it. I also got an Fiio E17 with these pair of headphones and even with gain set to 6, the volume from 30-40 is loud enough for my ears. Will I benefit at all from purchasing an E09k if the E17 is loud enough? Other than...

When using my Fiio E17 over USB I get a weak "crackling" / static noise, especially at higher frequencies. Not so much it ruins the whole listening experience but still more than enough to be annoying. But when using it with the minijack it's perfectly fine. Has anyone else experienced this? Is...

..beside the e17? I have the e07k but need a way to connect to my ps3 digitally. What options do I have in terms of upgrading.

Hi folks, this is my first post here.  I had recently began my venture into the audiophile territory with K550. (with the Fidelio L2 on the way ) I re-ripped my whole cd collection from mp3 to apple lossless through itunes, and I was enjoying my music.  However a couple of days ago, a friend...

Hey guys:   I've been pondering this for a while, but I have finally decided to invest in a good speaker set-up. I will be living in a suite-style dorm next year and have been looking to build a relatively cheap, but high fidelity system.   I am looking to pair the Pioneer SP-BS22 LR...

I just sold my E17 as I was very underwhelmed with the amp's power. Is there a way to bypass the note 3's DAC? If so, I'd love to find a portable DAC/AMP (maybe an iBasso?) well under $200, willing to buy used. To power my HE-300's, my Image One's and sometime in the future, V-Moda M-100's. Any...

Hi,   I'm thinking of getting a sound card, but not sure if it really matters for my setup/use.   I have a on board soundcard (ASRock Z68 Pro3 board) with FiiO E10 dac/amp for my Beyerdynamics DT770 Pro (80ohm) and Philips Fidelio S2. I use it to listen music and play games.   Thanks...

Hi , I want to buy fiio e17 for my iphone 5, but I don't know how to connect it , because there's not adapter for the lightning connector. Can i use this to make it work...

I have a desktop setup, but recently I've been going out a lot. I'm going to need a portable set-up and came to conclusion with Fiio X3 or find an audio player that can support external DAC of Fiio e17   What set up would you guys prefer?  Any recommendations on an audio player that can...

Hello, I have FiiO E17 with FiiO E09K on USB connection My computer is Asus Z77 Sabertooth motherboard OS - Windows 8 for 2 weeks and Windows 7 for 6-7 months. Headphone - Sennheiser HD600, Audio Technica ATH-M50    I have been running FiiO E17 with FiiO E09K combo (USB) for 6-7 months now...

Anyone got any suggestions of a DAC/AMP that is worth upgrading from an Fiio E17? It would be nice if it has a number indicator for the volume levels like the E17 does.   Headphones I'm using is HD598 and source is TV optical toslink.

Hello. Does anyone know if the Fiio E17 needs to be connected to a USB port in order for it to work/be on? It can be charged by USB for 200 minutes which then gives it enough power to last 15 hours. I am wondering if fully charged, does it still need to be connected to USB port to function? (I...

Hey guys! I've been reading the forum for about two weeks now, trying to decide which amp to get for a HD800. I've read all kind of recommendations for tube amps and SS amps. My budget is $600 (can't go any further), and I already have the Bifrost Uber DAC. At home, I bought two different very...

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...

Hello, I'm new to the site. I just made an account both to ask something and because I'm becoming more of an audiogeek with each passing year, so joining a site dedicated towards it seemed appropriate. Went from a low-end Turtlebeach headset to the Beyerdynamic T90 I have now, with about 8...

My headphone setup is ATH-m50 with an Fiio E9 amp and E17 DAC. The setup is awesome, but I can't do chores/host parties/listen to records with it. Ive read that the Dayton B652/Lepai Amp combo seems to be a pretty nice setup. Any thoughts on that?   Music listened too: My records range from...

Hi everyone—   I'm really enjoying my Momentum—what a great sealed phone!—and while I enjoy the clear sound of the JDS Labs C421 (OPA2227), I'm finding that the sound is steelier than I'd like. Also, there is a lot of grain.    Can someone recommend a resolving yet warmer sounding...
