I picked up a FiiO E07K and have been using it as an equalizer for my SanDisk Clip+ to play though my car/headphones.   I'm curious as to what volume I should be choosing to avoid the possibility of distortion on the FiiO E07K.   Reading the manual for...

I think I'll keep the E07K, and buy a Sansa Clip+ 4GB with a 32GB SD card and put on Rocketbox.   That was I have a portable solution and a computer solution!   I see that the "sorry about your wallet" statement isn't actually a joke...   Let me know if I forgot anything, but I think...

Thank you so much for the detailed reply!   I went ahead and bought a FiiO E07K before you responded, thinking it would provide a decent solutions for a DAC/Amp combo.   What are your thoughts on this? I have read that it probably wont run with my HTC EVO 4g LTE out of the box, but I...

Quote:   Thanks for the input, I think I settled on the FiiO E07K. Is there a reason that you didn't recommend this model? The E17 is quite a bit more price wise.   Will the E07K be enough for my phone/computer?   Edit: I am reading up more and I'm realizing that the E07K might...

I just recently bought some Etymotic Research HF5 and I'm looking for a good player that will play audio well to these headphones.   I currently have a HTC EVO 4G LTE smartphone, and I have heard something about playing through the USB?   I mostly care about the quality of the sound, and...

Quote:   I need a better DAP, that's for sure. I will be playing music/audio through my phone HTC EVO 4G LTE, and my computer's motherboard audio board.   How do I get a more "pure" sound out of my laptop/computer/phone?

Quote: I just placed my amazon order for some HF5s, they should be here by Wednesday!   I'm pretty excited about this, but I have read they can be even better with an amp.   I'm thinking about maybe a FiiO E11 Amp, but I know almost nothing about amps for portable headphones, any...

Your right, my mistake.   Just so I have some more to compare, how about in the  $50 range?   Are the Sennheiser CX 300-II or Klipsch Image S4i good options?

build: I'm not as concerned about the build quality, I will not be abusing them comfort: I want the fit to be good, because I listen to music/audio for hours on end.   The models that you posted seem to be above $100, should I be raising my price range to get a good pair of headphones, or...

Thanks for the reply.   I prefer to have a more "pure" sound, no overpowering base.   I listen to almost everything, dubstep, rap, classical music, rock.   I'm not sure what you mean by comfort, I enjoyed how the S4 had an oval shape, but before that I had a pair that had a circular...

My Klipsch S4 headphones just died tonight, so I'm now in the market for a new pair.   So far I have my eye on a few, the Klipsch Image S4i, HiFiMAN RE-400, Panasonic RPHJE120R, or Sennheiser CX 300-II.   I care about the quality of the sound a lot, and would like any advise as to what...
