Very Cool! Thanks, those are two good options. Ripping apart an iPod sounds fun, I'll try that first.

My old Sansa Fuze got stolen out my car so I'm now Looking for a simple DAP. Must have: Support for a at least a 512gb MicroSD card. MP3 & FLACC playback A decent audio library OS/player Use case: Music, mostly metal through IEMs (still need to buy some). Sometimes, into my car Aux input. I...

Mine are also supposedly semi-open, I would expect the same noise leak levels from the 990s   And I would expect the 770s to be similar to most closed back headphones, less sound leak and less idea of what's going on around you.    I think I'm looking for something that's just physically...

Hello,   I don't expect anyone to be too interested in helping me in my search, but you never know.   I'm looking for a pair of headphones   I want to be able to hear what's going on around me at a decent level (My DT880s are great for this.) I want other people to not be able to hear...

I'm after one of these.   I really want this back now though, any ideas where to source one? Or maybe someone has one they're not too bothered about, I may have something to swap for it?        

Thanks.   I've decided to go for the D1 now,  just about to place the order.     The E17 has a SPDIF input on the top of it. Someone has told me that this input is available and works whilst docked with E09K. So I wont be using a USB connection at all.   PC -----(PCI)----> Xonar D1...

Thanks for the summary STV014, cleared up allot.   Yes, Angel. The plan is to have the card plugged into the E17 constantly, for the sole purpose of having dolby headphone running through my system, and the software that goes with the card has sweetend the deal for me aswell. I also like the...

Hello.   I'm about to buy one of the asus Xonar sound cards.   For my purposes all it will do is process a digital audio signal. It needs to output this  through SPDIF to my E17.     After almost of month of researching into these sound cards I don't really know what their...

Hello.   I'm trying to buy an optical audio cable to carry a digital audio signal from my up-coming sound card to my external DAC.   I am a little unsure as to wheather I am looking at the correct cables, however I think I must be. When I look at the cable end, and then look at the hole...

Wow, thanks pkgman   that's exactly what I needed to hear. I was assuming there was a solution similar to this.   I'll keep your post for reference for when I actually receive my FiiO bundle and sound card. I will add an optical SPDIF cable to my order.   I live in Africa and getting...

Okay, so I realized I don't really understand S/PDIF.   You get this one, this is the one I was comfortable with, I've seen it on many of my things in the past and never really knew what it was until recently.       Then, you get this one.   Is the 1st one perhaps the...

Is that S/PDIF input available while it is docked with the E09K though?   How would it be unnecessary? what is the other option, I am prepared to base my sound card purchase around that.  

Hello   I was hoping to have a sound card outputting a digital signal to my E17. I now see the FiiO E09K/E17 combo has no S/PDIF input.   is there any way to get a S/PDIF into the FiiO bundle, like an adapter or anything?   is there any way to get a USB signal out of my sound card...

Quote:  Yes, that's exactly what it is, I've never been very keen on it apart from the pretty blue lights. I have never tried to enable any of the functions you say it has, when my stereo phones arrive I will take another long look at it, although in the long run I will be moving away from...

Hello everyone.   I'm looking for someone with some time to read through my post and provide some feedback, any comments will be much appriciated, and should I be in the position to help you in return I will do so gladly.   Okay, here's some background.   Prompted by a friend I've...
