So I got the JDS CD5 and it recommended that I set the player to 75% volume on my laptop, which I assume is itunes. Does this actually do anything or would setting it to 100% volume on itunes work better and then control volume through my amp?

i have an old clip+ and i'm wondering would the sq benefit from getting an amp? i was thinking of getting a fii0 E7. the reason being i've read so many people going on about how great they are? i listen to mainly hard rock on the clip+. would my listening experience be enhanced by getting this...

hey, I recently went through the trouble to look up the DAC chips & prices of quite a few sub-$200 DACs. Fricking manufacturers often do not disclose their DAC chip on their product specs. (kinda shady imo lol) Not sure if this list would be helpful to anyone, but I figured I'd post it. Please...

Hi, I am new to this forum and I was wondering if I can get any opinions from the people from the Head-Fi community, I am planning on getting a DAC and i was wondering which one would sound better or which one is technically better, the FiiO E7 or the HotAudio DAC DESTROYER. Opinions and other...

Like the title says, is the Fiio E7 enough to power the DT 990 PRO 250 ohm's? I'm listening to modern music like pop, hip hop, rap, r&b, etc.   I looked at Fiio's website and they don't recommend to use the E7 with higher than 150 ohms, but people say it works just fine. I'm really confused...

I recently got the Shure SE215 earphones, and am now considering getting a USB DAC for my desktop computer after reading the hype (with eventual plans to upgrade to better earphones within 1-2 years); is it worth the extra money to get a DAC for the SE215? I should also mention that my...

OK I've had a Fiio E7 portable amp/dac for a while Last night I bought an Iphone 4s 32GB from a mate.   What I would really like to do is take a digital signal from the iphone and put it into the Fiio E7 thus using the E7 DAC and amp but seems I can only do this if I jailbreak the phone - is...

Hi guys,   I recently bought a FiiO E7 DAC from eBay. Now when I got the DAC it was fine and worked solidly for around a month or two and then the USB port became kind of faulty. When I first plug it into my laptop or phone it works fine mostly, but as soon as the USB cable is knocked even a...

Evening folks,    I need some assistance.   As for Desktop/Home Head-Fi I have things pretty much worked out. I have a few DAC's and head amps on the way to try out with various Sennheiser's until i upgrade my cans.   But as for portable I'm just totally stuck.   The portable...

Hi, I haven't used my Fiio e7/e9 in awhile and just wanted to make sure everything is hooked up correctly..I've moved like 4 times in the past couple months, so I'm not sure if I'm missing a cable or something :o   My issue currently is that I receive no sound in my headphones.          ...

Previously reviewed on Headfonia, the SJ-55 is the top entry level headphone offered by Audio Technica. I recently acquired a pair, and I'd thought I share my thoughts in how they stack up to the ATH-M50 and Grado SR-60i. Source is Ipod Touch 1G/Ipod video 30GB (320 CBR Kbps lame rips) + Fiio...

Hey, As above basically. I currently have a pair of DT770 pros (250ohm) plugged into a Fiio E7/9 combo which I use for music, games, tv/film etc. I'm about to buy a digital piano, which I may not be able to use them with due to their high impedance, so it may be a chance/excuse for me to get a...

Hey guys,   So I have been thinking about getting the Fiio e7 when I order my Beyerdynamic dt770 80OHMS, would this amp be enough to power them? Also can you connect a 3.5mm cable for phones/mp3 players? I thought i heard that you could, but it would bypass the DAC and just use the amp. I will...

I wonder - this Fiio 17 - isnt it overkill for my casual listing, on the sub on my way to work, when I m hospitalized or just walk the dog. Never use my headphones at home, havin an expensive hometheater ... What other dac / amp should I look at. E7 ? iBasso products? Do they need to be as...

From what I have gathered getting a DAC/amp for my nexus 7 or s2 phone is not possibly. So for now am looking to buy a amp that works with grado sr80 or audio technica ath m50. So I at least watch movies And play music with good volume. I am using MX player for video. And demoing poweramp and...

You can use the fiio e7 as a dac for the iPhone 5s. Output from the lightening port on the 5s to the e7. I have been using it for the past week and its pretty cool. No messages about assecories being incompatible or jailbreak needed on iPhone 5s

BLOX BI3 Review   Thanks to BLOX for the sample.       First Impressions:  Aww no case in the box, that’s a shame.  Still I recognise that cable, it’s just like the ones MEElec stuff used to have.  I liked it back then and I still like it, not only is it a visually appealing cable...

I just found my E7 in a box from when I had to move.  I haven't used it in probably 8 months now but when I tried to plug it into my computer, my computer isn't seeing it. I don't see it in device manager.  I don't remember if the E7 is suppose to say USB IN all the time on the top of the...

Hi guys, I haven't had any problems with sound quality/connectivity, but is it just me or is the usb plug into the computer on the fiio E7 too small for the USB port? It connects fine and all, but is very wobbly/shaky if you ever so slightly touch it. I can wiggle it back and forth in its...

I recently purchased the FiiO E7 for 60 bucks used on amazon. I haven't really seen any opinions on this amplifier. I use a pair of sennheiser HD 558 and AKG K240 headphones, and I assume this would suit those well, but would the E17 or E07K be a better option? Or am I fine and should just save...

I tried looking for comments on this thread regarding to this question and i was quite unsuccessful. If someone can give me a impression or comment about this combo (fiio e7- portable amp/dac with schiit asgard) it would be greatly appreciated. A link to a pre-existing thread that i may have...

Choo Choo is way off the track now.  Lets get it back on track.   So I was checking on my order for the Schiit Asgard on my work computer (slightly against the rules, but I had to know) and a buddy walked over and said, "What kind a schiit is that your looking at? That is not work...

I'm going to try and make this as much of an interesting read as possible. Here it goes...   I was at a thrift store that I shop at quite often. I wasn't even looking for headphones when I walked in. After browsing for what I was initially in there for, I drifted towards the electronics...

I have been reading this forum for about a year and a half and have still not decided on a pair of headphones .__. I have been looking at the Sony mdr 1r and the v moda crossfade m100. I was hoping for some semi portable headphones but I will not mind walking around with a beyerdynamic dt770 if...
