Were you referring to me? Haha. Sorry I'm confused.

My rig is iPhone 6 Plus -> Apple CCK -> FiiO E07K Andes -> FiiO Oyaide Copper cable -> H6. The E07k amps up the bass nicely which the H6 is quite lacking. Never looked back ever since. I think I've found the best sound signature ever. At least that's what my ears think. ;) Added: And the FiiO...

As I've mentioned earlier, if you don't mind amping, the H6 can easily be the best all rounder IMO. I pair it with a FiiO aux cable with Oyaide copper wires to give it that bit more warmth and also with my iPhone 6 Plus paired with FiiO E07k portable DAC with Apple's Lightning to USB CCK to...

My current (kinda finalised, because I'm a broke ass student) set up now is H6 with FiiO's RC-MH1 headphone replacement cable with PCOCC-A copper wire, FiiO E07k Andes, Apple Lightning to USB CCK and iPhone 6 Plus. Never been happier. The cable is the final jigsaw puzzle piece. The high...

It's never been moist or wet whenever I put it into the bag. Pretty bad customer service too. The receptionist was trying to convince me it's wear and tear and it will happen when the leather patinates. So I was trying to tell her it's black marks on the leather, it ain't patina. Haha. Should...

Unfortunately I hadn't have the chance to run my H6 in for 48 hours. Barely 1 week into my ownership of my H6, I had to send it in to the service centre. The black felt bag had transferred colour onto the natural leather of my H6. Black marks all over the lambskin earcups and calfskin headband...

I really do believe it does improve with burn in I too bought the H6 purely for the clarity and details it gave me. But on first hearing it was quite shrill and tiring on my ears But after just 10 hours of looping my playlist, things got better. Bass is slightly more prominent and trebles are...

That makes more sense now. Maxing out the volume on my iPhone, I can set 0dB gain on my E07k with the volume on the amp at 32/60. Thanks guys. ;)

I do believe you're quite right. Thanks for the fast reply. :)

Can anybody shed some light? Am I doing things right? I have the connections right. iphone 5 -> Lightning to USB CCK -> USB to Mini USB -> FiiO E07k -> Headphones. But problem is with volume. My iPhone still needs to be cranked up to around 3/4 volume and FiiO E07k needs to be in 6dB gain plus...

Thank you for clarifying. I will be getting my CCK and E07k next week. So hopefully it works without a hitch! Many thanks again!

So is it a problem with the E17? Read a lot of people failed with this set up even with USB Charging turned off. And with this USB adapter that you suggested, doesn't it mean I can't bend the cables and carry my iphone and E07k as one piece? Haha.

Sorry just a question. Will this work: iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1.1) -> Apple Lightning to USB CCK -> USB to Mini USB cable -> FiiO E07k Andes (USB Charging off) -> Headphones Will this work or there MUST be a powered hub in the middle? Or will it not work at all?

Sorry if this question has been asked a million times. But I just wanna confirm it beyond all doubt before I plunge in and buy a E07k. iPhone 5 -> Apple Lightning to USB Adapter CCK -> USB to Mini USB Cable -> FiiO E07k Andes (USB Charging off) -> headphones. Or will it not work?

Haven't tried the M50 before, but I do own my 6 years old ESW9 that's very actively used. Build issue can be a problem though it's made in Japan. Sound wise, think of it as wearing a tube amp on your head. Sounds warm, probably due to the wood enclosure. Forward mids with luscious vocals...

Yeah but shipping it to Singapore ain't gonna be cheap haha.

Just bought this yesterday at a steal (USD300). Out of the box, these sounded too bright. I was surprised, because I work in a Apple Premium Reseller and we have the H6 demo which I always listen during my lunch breaks. :p Though I am still half skeptical about burning in headphones, but I am...

Am looking for an in-ear as a substitute for my ATH-ESW9 woodies which is a bit bulky to bring out sometimes. So I wish to have an in-ear with a rather similar sound signature to the ESW9s. Mellow mids, no need for extreme highs. With a hint of emphasis in the bass department too. All within the...

I do notice a difference on my 2yo ESW9 after amping. Even with a cheap FiiO E6 amp. But I see a lot of people saying it's better with recabling? Especially with silver coated copper wire or pure silver cables. Anybody with ESW9 here recabled it? Care to share your experience? Very tempted to...

There's no difference. The "A" simply denotes that it's for the American market

Been going around and auditioning some of the other supra-aural headphones similar in size and price to my ESW9s like the Beats by Dr. Dre series and even some of Pioneer's studio headphones, I still can't find one with a similar sound signature like the ESW9. They are either too bassy with lots...

Oh you're from Singapore too? I don't think Jaben will put such small items on their webby. Just head down and enquire. ;)

I'm using a LOD from Crossroads. They are only SGD25. But it serves my purpose so I'm more than happy with it. When it comes to cheap and good amps, I think not many can beat the FiiO E5. ;)
