    DIY Cable Questions and Comments Thread

    Hi everyone,   I'm having trouble repairing my AIAIAI Tracks headphones cable here. It's got mic and volume control, makes it harder to figure out which wire goes where (and the colour-coded wire is on different colour than the one in Apple's Earpod). Is there anyone here with knowledge of...

    Fiio E07k Not Bypassing the Volume

    Quote: Yes, by far this is the only work around. :(   Quote:   nope already double checked it. I'm using mac, and it's showing that the E07k is the main output device. I guess it's the "flaw" from this DAC?

    Fiio Andes (E07K) VS. Fiio E17: What's the difference, and how does it sway the amateur audiophile?

    I just got myself a new Fiio E07k Andes DAC/amp, using it to be used as my SSMH's DAC. Curious down here, why is it not bypassing the computer's volume control, while other DACs do that? Will it compromise the sound quality? I'm using the USB, and using the L7 dock also. Does E17 bypass the...

    Would the Fiio E07K Andes provide enough power for 250 ohm DT880s?

    Quote:   Yes, I'm using the Pro 250Ω.. :)   Quote:   Agree with you. E07k amplifier part lacks punchiness if compared with E09k as it is a standalone amplifier. But as an affordable solution of DAC / Amp combo, E07k is doing a superb job IMO..

    Would the Fiio E07K Andes provide enough power for 250 ohm DT880s?

    Yes, it does drive the Beyer well. I'm using one myself. Although I mainly use the E07k as DAC, it still does good job driving it as an amp. Cheers

    Millett "Starving Student" hybrid amp

    Grumus, this amp is actually strong enough to drive my high impedance beyers.. Go for it! Just be cautios that the 19j6 build can be troublesome, as the tube is very rare atm.. ;) Btw guys, here is the pics of my amps guts. A bit messy though..

    Millett "Starving Student" hybrid amp

    I just opened it again and just realized that there were 2 stray cables. 1 from the left channel and 1 from the right channel. It's quite a mess.. Should I post the images here or can I email you instead? Just 1 question first, is it correct that the number 4 pin from the tube goes to the...

    Millett "Starving Student" hybrid amp

    Quote:   Did switched it but the left channel still won't sound up.. I suppose my tubes are okay, thankfully. 19J6 tubes are very rare these days :(   Quote:     Yes, both of the heater lights up. Will do the debugging as soon as I can get my DMM.. Lost it somewhere at...

    Millett "Starving Student" hybrid amp

    Hi everyone, just bought a built SSMH from a friend, but one of the channel (left to be precise) doesn't sound correctly. It crackles and sounds very low, almost no sound at all. What could possibly be the problem? I suspect one of the caps is broken, but no idea which one. Any help? :)
