    Reply to review by 'agogo' on item 'FiiO E9 Desktop Headphone Amplifier and Dock for E7 USB DAC'

    @D-P: Thanks for that. There is hope yet! It sounded rather open already but I'll give it a go. I suspect the culprit could be the L3 or the Line In at the back of the amp. Those holes (E7/E9) look a lot bigger than Apple (iPod, iPhones) holes. But I think the L3 could have something to do with...

    fiio l3 LOD durability?

    I've just had my first encounter with the L3, E7 and E9 yesterday.  Wiithin 10 mins of solid playing, the connection started to drop out on me indicating something is lose or not a good fit.  At first I thought it was the E7 then it occurred to me it could be also the L3 as each time I nudge it...

I suppose the best way to decide is really to try them out at your local audio dealer which I didn't get to.  I do like it but...

    Non-Audiophile looking for some help in Headphones: Sennheiser HD 598 Vs. Sennheiser HD 600

    Probably the Senn 598 -I've just unboxed one and am very happy with them - also my "first" pair. I also listen to about the same type of music as you do. I chose it over the similarly priced but more steeply discounted k 702 because the HD598 doesnot need amping. Plays most song beautifully...

    Sennheiser HD 598 as first pair of headphones

    AMEN to THAT!  I've just unboxed my Senn HD598 after biting the bullet and getting it on amazon.co.uk AND I LOVE THEM!  It is my first pair.  Totally correct about it being an all rounder.  Particularly good on accoustic, jazz and baroque music like IL DIVO (tenor vocals), Celtic Guitar...
