m50's love the Fiio E7/E9
I think the most appreciable difference when using the E7/E9 rather than just the E9, is that you get more at a lower volume. Everything is livelier and has a larger soundstage at a lower volume than would be required if you were just using the E7. Thats a very good thing if you don't wont to...- abhisheknath

m50's love the Fiio E7/E9
Well I never have connected my iPhone to the E7. When I listen through the E7/E9, I hook up the E7 to the PC/MAC as a dac and use the E9 as amp. I don't believe there is a way to bypass the iPhone's DAC so if you hook up your E7 to the iPhone via line out or the headphone jack, the sound...- abhisheknath

m50's love the Fiio E7/E9
Quote: There will be a huge improvement from your j3 or laptop out guaranteed. I have a creative X-Fi which is a reasonably good sound card at work and the difference between that output and the E7/E9 is noticeable for sure. If you ask me it's totally worth the 150% premium on the...- abhisheknath

Sennheiser HD 598, starting to crack.
If you ask me? I think the answer is yes. For me atleast the crack didn't have any functional implications and the headphones really sound fantastic.- abhisheknath

I hate my dt880's. I love my dt880's.
Well if you look at the frequency curve for the dt880 then it quite obviously has regions of bias (the highs 5k-9k) and its a little weak on bass. If your amp is fixing these issues its probably correcting the frequency curve, compensating for the dt880's signature. In other words it is coloring...- abhisheknath

Quote: Yes this is definitely what I feel as well. I am convinced that the Fiio E7/E9 works great as a dac/amp because when I use Electri-Q to flatten the frequency response of the dt880 it sounds amazing! The problem is that it sounds amazing only on Foobar2k. What I need is for it to...- abhisheknath

Is this Audio Technica M50 fake?
I have the white box version of the m50's. Your pictures seem to indicate very suspicious build quality compared to what I have. Maybe you just got a really screw**d up used pair lol. How do they sound though?- abhisheknath

ATH M50 or M50S? Amped or no? If yes, which amp?
For portable use I would say the E7 is not worth it. If you envision using the E7 as a dac out of your computer then its a great buy. Otherwise just buy a nice mp3 player- how about a rockboxed sansa fuze for 50bux =).- abhisheknath

I disagree about the m50's not liking amps. Here is my full impression: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/542581/m50-s-love-the-fiio-e7-e9#post_7316934- abhisheknath

ATH M50 or M50S? Amped or no? If yes, which amp?
I would get the m50 over the m50s. The difference is that the m50 comes with a coiled cable whereas the m50s comes with a straight cable. There is a bass heavy version of the m50 that comes in a blue box and a more neutral m50 that comes in a white box. In my opinion, the m50 greatly...- abhisheknath
