Quote:   coz it is still using the ipod's internal amp bro. You need an amp to drive or power any headphones. a dac is only a digital to analogue converter of your music.    I thought you were referring to Fiio L9 LOD when I answered your post. This lod when connected to an amp...

Yes absolutely!

Bump. Anyone?

Try resetting it. It might help.

Does anyone tried doing this mod by themselves? What's the level of diffuculty on this? Any significant improvement from the stock? Is the mod reversible? Thanks guys! Planning to this mod.

This video is a big LOL!!!:)

  Quote:   does anyone have a dac/amp/headphone combo?:) must be nice like having denon making their own dac/amp intended for their particular set of headphones:)

  Quote:   I believe it does require a bit of a break/burn in. out of the box i found it to be too bright to my liking... played music with it the whole night then tried to listen to it again, the brightness lessened. i dont know why.. maybe it's just adjusting to my d5k.lol

  Quote:   restart seems to solve the hissing issue. i read that one member had the same problem and pc restart solved it:) the problem i guess is on the driver. anyhow lets enjoy the e17! it definitely made my d5k sing!!!

  Quote:   that's why it's a portable amp:) it takes forever before the battery runs out:)

  Quote:   damn mattcg.. thought ur not goona jump in buying the e17.lol   when i received mine, i just left it plugged in the whole night with my d5k while continously playing music... i dont have any hissing problem.. try restarting your computer and plug the e17 again.

Last time i checked it was 140.

No problem for me so far:) at first i thought i was having problem with only the left side of d5k producing a sound.. When i checked everything i realized that my headphone jack was not completely inserted.. Unlike my e7 i really had to push my jack down the same with aux. I think fiio dis this...

Thanks guys for all the suggestions!!!
