HWTEST In your cases, the most honest advice I can offer you is: ¹Make adjustments between "Buffering & Latency" levels (This can be very tedious process, because you need to strike correct balance between the two); -OR- ²Change the ASIO Driver currently installed (IF Decide to change driver...

If you are running Windows 10 on your PC, you do not have to over concern yourself with it. However, if you are running Windows 7 or 8, then you goto FiiO website and download the update. It may be a Driver update - not Firmware. I can't recall because I did the update a while back. If you have...

SIDI0US LAST THING, regarding the crackeling and popping noises you hear during audio playback using ASIO Driver is most likely caused by an imbalance between Buffering & Latency measurements; You will need to play around with these settings (They can differ between different devices...

SIDI0US That's somewhat odd because the ASIO Driver, for Windows 7, should work without any problems. The driver is integrated in Windows 7. In Windows 10, people have had difficulty getting the ASIO Driver installed and/or operational. Microsoft has no real solution for the problem. But a...

ALSO, what kind of headphones are you using? Again from experience and much research, I've realized matching equipment can make an impact on sound quality - How much, is debatable

In my professional opinion, audio sound is unique because each person hears things differently and have personal preferences. For example, some people like more bass dominant sound, others prefer balanced sound and so forth. I always advise my clients that if it sounds good to them, then let it...

TO SIDI0US I apologize for misunderstanding the fundamentals of your question. I read lots of threads & posts, and sometimes I scan through words so quickly - I sometimes miss the real question. Addressing your question about why sound quality changes with different driver/s? Drivers are PC...

TO SIDI0US

I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm subscribed to this thread and will do my best to address any questions to myself personally in a timely manner. Sometimes it may take a day or two for me to reply because I'm very busy right now. But I will answer any/all questions directed to me

BOTH YOU GUYS ARE SOME TOUGH CUSTOMERS... LOL I'm just joking. I love challenges! Now that I'm addressing both HW & SID, because both of you seem to be having similar problems problems. But before I do that, I would like to run some testing on my E10K. I have not run into any issues with my...

TO SIDI0US Obviously, without knowing all the in & outs of your system, it's hard to know exactly what your problem could be? It's somewhat odd that your sound works fine for short periods of time, then begins to malfunction. My best guess is your processor is taking on to many operations at...

TO HWTEST, To save you some time - IF you have done a firmware update within the last 12 or 18 months, your program is up to date. ◾HOWEVER, IF you are set on knowing which software version you are running, the easiest way is to right click the "FiiO" Desktop icon, select Properties, then...

All the information posted above is based on using Windows O/S.

I own a FiiO E10K OLYMPUS-2 and may be able to offer some guidance. The FiiO E10K Amp & DAC is very simplistic in nature. I'm assuming you have read through the short guide and downloaded the updated firmware - available on FiiO Support webpage (You will need to have an account and product...

You are CORRECT! It's the ASIO Driver, which I thought was a new update. My apologies! As to insight, I was refering to potential interactions we may have in the future. I did not mean insight to the FiiO E10K device (It's easy to setup - plug in and play).

REPLY TO "WIJNANDS".... REGARDING E10K FIRMWARE UPDATE FOR FiiO DEVICES...I KNOW WHAT YOUR PROBLEM IS? *NOTE: In this case, for the OLYMPUS 2-E10K Firmware Update, I see the issue you encountered - which I can't explain. BUT I can help you find the update. I just visited the website and went...

I'm not sure how long, but they do mention updates in guide. Goto FiiO website, click support, select your device, then a support page with details emergers

QUESTIONS? Recently, I purchased the FiiO E10K Amp with DAC. After I unpacking box I quickly reviewed guide to set up my FiiO, BUT before plugging it in, I updated the firmware from website support. Then I plugged in the amp. ◾ Does anyone know if updating the Firmware First, BEFORE Plugging In...
