Received! wow just wow, these ones really step up the game. The premium feel. The depth. The sound quality even with garbage gear (I am on an internal 15 year old sound card, the Soundblaster Xtreme Music). The 1770 are better in just every aspect and frequency compared to the 770. I am very...

How good is the 9028 dac card?

Hey there, I am new to the audiophile world. Just ordered these great looking 1770 Pro headphones as my old 770 Pro 80Ω cable just got broken after 8 happy years of service and it is literally WASTED overall, (broken plastic, worn earpads and lettering, etc.) I decided to step up the game, as...

I think the brand new FiiO Q1 may fit your needs, its a nice DAC+amp, its portable, and its considerably cheap.

Hey guys,   I recently joined this world and bought the Beyer 770 pro 80 ohms, theyre awesome but I feel I need a solid dac. Is this e18 still a good choice or should I head for the brand new FiiO Q1? The latter looks like a superb item and is half the price, comments are positive, but... e18...

Still unsure if buying Q1 or e18 for my 770 - 80 ohms  :(   any lights?

I was about to purchase the e18 but I think this is my best choice, the Beyer 770 80ohm are not so hungry, and this is way cheaper, smaller and lighter.   That thingy covering the volume wheel is ugly, but oh well...

am interested on this comparison aswell.

Bump, wondering the same.   I guess it's not much important since everyone has its own opinion :S

Awesome! What cable and jack would you recommend?

  wat? I had never heard of this Q1 and I just have read the head-fi's review, oh man I'm more confused than ever lol. Thanks. Seems like a great new guy, I guess not as powerful as E5/e18 but the price is really low and looks better than e10k.   I still haven't discarded soundblaster E5...

Hey folks, how does this E5 compare to FiiO e18? Lets say sound quality is my only concern (particularly bass quality and absence of noises).   I want an awesome amp+dac for my desktop PC and boosting my Beyer 770 pro 80 ohm. Oh and portability is a plus since I may want to use it with my htc...

  Seems logic, so I guess low gain is fine as long as I don't find myself reaching max volume and being unhappy lol. I have several cans the one with most impedance is 80 ohm.
