Went ahead and ordered 2. Might order more if they impress me enough :)

Went ahead and ordered the MC3 for $63. The HF3 is like $50 more and I just want to use it during my long flights. Thanks for the suggestion.

Came back home to find a missed delivery note from DHL :( And to make things worse, the next attempt will be on Monday. I still haven't received the tracking nubmer so I couldn't know they would attempt delivert today. Anyway, Can't wait for Monday to arrive! 

Quote: Thanks for the suggestion. However, It is more like $40 difference in price. Is it still worth it?

After some looking around, it seems that I will be going with the Etymotic MC3. Does anyone have any better suggestion before I go with these? Thanks again.

Hello everyone,   I have been looking for a while for some IEMs to listen to my music on my iPhone during long air travel. I have never tried, let alone bought, high end IEMs. In my brief history with good quality audio, I used the Denon D2000 and the Audio Technica AD700 full sized...

After some research, I finally ordered the NFB-12 last Saturday. It has been a week and they have yet to ship it. Hopefully, the upgrade in quality from my onboard audio with my D2000 will be worth the wait.

How is the NFB-12 compared to the E7/E9 combo? I am thinking of getting one for my Denon D2000, but I am still not sure which one to choose.

Thanks for the response. Micca actually has this combo for $180, which is a great deal. I still need to hear from others about other alternatives, since I don't really want to regret my purchase down the road.   Quote:  

Got my D2000 a month ago and so far it has been great. I am thinking of getting a DAC/Amp and from my search I limited my choices to the FiiO E7/E9 combo and the Audio GD NFB-12, the sparrow and maybe teh Zero DAC/amp. Can someone tell me which of these is best used with the D2000, or if there...

Thanks for the replies. So it seems the general opinion is that the E7 is not worth it. I have been looking around but only found international sellers for the Zero DAC/Amp, which means expensive shipping and returns. I also read about the NFB-12, which seems to be a great option, though I am...

Sadly I am using a laptop so a soundcard is not an option for me. I prefer to get something new but I will look into the Zero DAC/amp. Is it better than the FiiO E7/E9 combo? Thanks.   EDIT: It seems from this review that the Zero DAC/amp only accepts digital audio input, which is not viable...

I have recently upgraded from the AT AD700 to the Denon D2000, and so far I am very satisfied. After reading around, it seems that the D2000 benefits from an AMP, and I thought I should get a DAC at the same time since I am currently using my laptop's built-in sound card. Micca has both the FiiO...

I was in your position a month ago, and I never regretted the upgrade! The D2000 does sound different from the AD700, the soundstage is slightly smaller, but still great for closed headphones. The details are incredible. As for lower prices, I got it from J&R for $200 on phone. Give them a call...

Thanks for the updates. How will this product fare against your e15? Is there any ETA on when the e15 will be launched? Thanks.
