Hi,   Primarily use my FiiO E17 to drive the HiFiMan EF2A at work (via the L7 Line out add on) where I use a set of Beyerdynamic DT1350's. Question is...   Has anyone used the FiiO E17 as a "serious" external DAC device?   Reason why I ask, is that I was thinking of connecting...

I have both the FiiO E17, FiiO E7 and a HiFiMan EF2A.   I currently use the FiiO E17 to drive the amplifier stage of the HiFiMan EF2A (I used to use the E7), I can do a comparison of the E17 and the EF2A once I am happy that the FiiO E17 has had sufficient enough time to burn in like the...

Oh...   That's a bit of a bad do as we say up here on the North Of England!   My laptop doesn't have any SPDIF outputs at all.   Russ

Hi there,   Setup is as follows:-   Windows 7 PC FiiO E17 DAC HifiMan EF2A DT1350's   Software used is the latest version of Foobar playing FLAC files with the WASAPI module installed...   On playing any FLAC files that are 88200 Hz / 24-bit / 2 channels I get the following...

Any stockists in the UK yet people? Ta Sys

Hi there "Fun" People!   Just wondering if anyone has hooked up the Fun to a pair of Beyer Dynamic DT-1350's and if so what's the verdict please?   I am thinking of upgrading from my HiFiMan EF2A & FiiO E7 combo to one of these units but I would like some opinions first if possible...

It's not an "advantage" per se...   More thinking along the lines of what's the point of having files at 24 bit resolution like SACD rips, DVD-A rips, HDTracks downloads, etc and then streaming them into a device that then reduces this resolution down to 16 bits?   It defies the whole...

Many thanks for the reply appreciated.   So if I am reading correctly a "true" 24 bit DAC then is not currently available, or is available at significant cost?   Why I asking is I am also looking at other DACS like the Audio-DG and other units at the same price range and ideally would...

I am looking to purchase the Chameleon, can I ask a quick question please?   If the Chameleon is based on the 16 bit Philips TDA1543 chip how is it managing to handle 24 bit files from either the SPDIF / USB inputs?   Is it truncating the 24 bit files down to 16 bit resolution, therefore...

Quote:   Hi there,   The FiiO DAC is of a higher quality yes and sounds a lot better than the internal DAC the EF2a has.   Saying that I am looking to update the FiiO sooner than later to possibly a v-DAC II or TeraDak Chameleon...   Sys

Hi there Hegel users!   Quick question if I may...   Where do you buy the Hegel HD20 unit from in the United Kingdom and what is the approximate price of the item please?   Many thanks Russ

Well does it:-   USB input with 24bit 96khz capability, a valve headphone amplifier output (if possible with the ability to swap and change them), all in one device and with a good performance.   Oh and be a reasonable cost i.e. less than £500...   Doesn't need SPDIF, TOS, Phono...

Hi Magnus I think I can do a pretty good job for you comparing these headphones as I upgraded the HifiMan Re0's to the DT1350's the other week...   The listening equipment was my Apple Mac using Fidelia Audio player connected to a FiiO E7 external USB DAC, Fidelia had exclusive access to the...

Well they are here!   Currently listening to Massive Attack's Mezzanine album, they aren't "bass light" they are more like bass controlled if you know what I mean...   As for sound quality well they certainly blow my Hifiman RE0's out of the water for balance, there is slightly more...

Ordered them...   To Hell with it!

Hello there,   Currently using my Hifiman EF2A hooked up to the FiiO E7 DAC and listening with Hifiman RE0 headphones, all sources are FLAC and the style is from electronic to Genesis to eighties to anything that is really well produced...   The FiiO E7 is well burnt in, as is the...

Any quick reviews / opinions on these headphones?   Seriously considering purchasing some to hook up with my Hifiman EF2A...

OK had the opportunity to test the E7 / L7 now hooked up to my Hifiman EF2A headphone amplifier, the difference between the internal EF2A DAC and the E7 is chalk and cheese... The E7 blows it out of the water...   Question though, I not so sure when the E7 is connected to USB via the L7 it...

Many thanks for the replies people much appreciated!   I am leaning more and more towards the Beyerdynamic DT1350's but it's a lot of money to spend on a set of headphones...   Sys

Hi Headphone Addict, Cheers for the response much appreciated!   Couple of things on the subject if I can.   The Hifiman amplifier I am using is the A variant which is the one that looks like it has a higher output (am I right?), I am concerned that the Denons might have the same...

  A new Hifiman EF2A owner here and new to these forums (Hola!), I have replaced the stock tubes with a pair of Mullards CV4010's of Ebay and I am just in the process of burning it all in, upto forty eight hours or so at the moment...   Like others reporting on the forums I am having...

Arrived today, currently checking it out driving my Altec Lansing ADA885 THX certified PC speakers from my Mac, seem's a lot better than using the headphone output (used SPL meter to calibrate the output volume wise).   Definition is better and so is the soundstage, will have a better idea...

Anyone had any experience running the D2000's with a Hifiman EF2A?   Just worried that they might be too easy to drive and I won't be able to use the amplifier at full potential, I noticed that they are pretty low imepdance with high sensitivity, this could be problematic as I can't...
