I have a premium account on Spotify (320kbps), playing from my iMac, with Audio Technica M50s, but would a headphone amp boost the quality?

I got a D5000 and E7 mainly for PC. I feel E7 drives D5000 badly, making  D5000 sound worse than my UE900. After some search, I decided to either pair E7 with E9 (~$110), or to pair E2 with O2 (~$160, dunno if this would work), or to get O2+DAC (~$300).   Which one is the best option in...

I recently bought some V- Moda Crossfade LP2 and have been looking at getting an amp. I play most of my music out my phone or tablet. Im definetly not an audiophile by any means, thats why i needed some help to see what would be the best amp to run.

I just got a Fiio E7/E9 the other day.  When the fiio is plugged in its default title is "speakers( usb audio)"   It only gives me the option of 3 sample rates, and changing the volume balance does nothing.   My udac by comparison connects as an SPDI/F interface    Any...

Looking for a good dac for under $100. I've looked at the fiio e7 because it comes with a built in amp.

Im looking for a good quality dac, but it has to be under $100. I will be using it with ath-m50s headphones and a ipod touch. I've done a quick search and the fiio e7 has come up alot. Is it the best for 60 dollars or is there better ones out there.

My current situation: I have a pair of M50's that are a bit broken (the plug no longer works, and I lost the plug I bought. lol) so in the meantime I've been barrowing Beyer DT770's, but the owner is now taking them back occasionally now.    Most of my music is electronic, so I need bass...

I'm looking for a suitable headphone amp under $100 for my laptop to use with my Audio Technica ATH-M50's and my Sony MDR-1R's. I mostly listen to chill electronic and dubstep. Preferably portable, but I don't want a large amp.   I've already looked at the Fiio lineup, but none really suit...

After reluctantly buying into audiophilia, I noticed the difference. My ears are untrained and insensitive, but I hear the tightness of quality audio nonetheless.   I am looking into four headphone amp solutions. Two contain DACs, two are standard amps.   I have two high quality CD...

Hey guys, im brand-spanking new to forums so here it goes!! Ok, i am planning on buying Audio-Technica ATHM50S headphones (unless someone shows me some that are just as good in bass, but dont build heat) and I want to get an amp for them. I only know about fiio portable amps so I have looked at...

Looking for a dac/amp combo. I've seen ranting and raving aboit fiio products, but I've seen the same about most everything on here. I doubt ill he problems with it driving my 'phones them beng gradp sr80i, shrue srh440, and fischer audio dba-02 mk1. That being said, if there's something I...

So I've been in a committed relationship with my Sennheiser HD600's and FiiO E9 amp for a year now... I love this combo, and the sounds I've heard go into my ears since last Christmas have been amazing. However, I've been thinking back about something: should I have gotten the E7 with them? How...

Would this combination sound good, audiophile good? Also, would the fact that the audio (all my.songs are in FLAC or WAV lossless) get distorted or be effected in any way by the fact that it is going threw the clip's AMP and the fiio e7?

At the moment I have Sennheiser HD 598 and a creative titanium HD card. I want to know is there anything I can add to improve the sound and maybe bass etc?

Hey all,   So the documentation and the early reviews say that the E09K only works with the E17. The later reviews I see say that the most recently produced E09K will work with the E7 although all the reviewers are using the E17. It sounds like Fiio may have fixed whatever issue prevented...

My budget is no greater than $75. These will be used at home on my PC with a Xonar DG sound card so portability won't be an issue. I've looked at the FiiO E10 and E11 as well as some cMoy but still cannot make a decision.

Hello Head-Fiers,   I currently have a pair of Sennheiser 598s that I love and I am considering buying amp at this point.  I currently have  Little Dot DAC II that was driving them. It recently fried, and I will have to get it repaired. In the mean time I am shopping for an amp that will...

First time poster here so forgive me if this problem was addressed in another thread, I've searched and could not find anything.    I bought the Fiio e7 and e9 combo about a year and a half back, and a few months ago my computer stopped recognizing the combo when I connect via USB.   The e7...

Hi guys, Been browsing head-fi for quite sometime but wanted to get more involved in this community! To kick things off, I just have one quick question - what do you guys think about the Fiio E7 with the HD 650's. Is the Fiio E7 enough to drive them? PS, Happy Diwali!

So I am having a hard time figuring out what portable amp to buy with the headphone types I am considering buying and how I'll be using them. In terms of the headphones I plan to buy, I've narrowed my selection down to the ATHM50 and the DT770. I just recently lost my V-MODAS - I love the sound...

So I've been powering my HiFiman HE-400's off of a FiiO e7 Amp/Dac, and it really isn't powering it as fully as it can. What are some good ~$200 DAC/AMP combos that can power the HiFiman HE-400's?

UPDATE: I made this thread quite a while ago so I thought I'd change the header into a much simpler one. Basically I have a challenging wish which is a set of headphones for my girlfriend, who can be rather picky. Requirements are being full-sized, over ear cans for at least decent isolation...

I didn't know where to post this exactly as it's about upgrading my headphones and amp...     I haven't been on here in quite some time, but have recently gotten back into headphone listening and am considering doing some upgrades, but want to see which upgrade path to take.   By...

Hey guys, I am retracing my steps a bit. Let's just say I'm a total nooblord, and all I want is EXTREME BASS. I want the most hard-hitting, punchy, and powerful bass that any pair of headphones or IEMs (either one) can deliver...as close as it gets to a subwoofer

Hey guys,   Ive been looking at a few threads here and there, first time posting. I've just been using stock ipod earbuds and razor moray? earbuds, I have a Corsair HS1 PC headset at home also.   Im looking for something dedicated to my music (ipod touch4, or PC) I listen to a...
