Woot! I don't have any hifiman products but I have been eyeing the he400i forever!

Winner winner chicken dinner

This is what makes Fiio great--replying to every inquiry, whether it is a compliment or a criticism. Keep doing what you do, and revolutionize what the process of development is. Can't wait to get my hands on a e12!

I mean it is a budget brand...though everyone does say good things about fiio.

So much nice equipment...

I have the D2000s. Very comfortable and warm sounding. May want to try a pair of ultrasones as well.

I often switch out my portable library of about 100 songs. I find em on hypem.com..great website to find new music.

What is a good desktop amp/dac thats a step up from the fiio's? Would you recommend getting a amp/dac first or a sound card?

Best option is to get a headset and mic separate. If you want a "gaming headset" the tritton AX720s have an amp (i guess you can call it that) and look kind of slick. Kind of depends on what games you play. You might want 5.1/7.1 surround if you play FPS games for example.

I always thought CD's were worse when it came to quality...feel stupid

Wow, sweet gear!

Newbie question, would getting a better amp (such as the e12) be better than getting a dac/amp combo such as the e7? I'd be using it with my iphone and possibly some heir audio 3.ai's.

What is the best way to use the e7's DAC/amp with an iphone? What cord is the best?

What sort of headphones would compete with these?

Wow...those look sweet.

I wish my setup looked as clean as some of these...

Has anybody confirmed the DAC in the nexus 4? Probably gonna pick it up when my contract ends.

You may want to look into the Heir Audio 4.Ai's. I've heard the 3.Ai's and they are extremely clean.
