Ah ha, I missed where you could choose a mini plug when I scanned the page earlier, thanks again you've been a big help :)

I'll take a peek around for a Lightning to mini usb type of cable (no such luck yet with some easy googling so far ). I suppose if push comes to shove I could find a USB A female to mini usb male adapter/cable to go with the one you recommended above.     Thanks apple for going from one...

Thank you very much sir!

Thank you. So should I just be using a 3.5 mm to 3.5mm to connect to my amps?

Still no lightning lod cable? I have been out of touch and am wondering what my options are in terms of using a Idevice with lightning port and my RS predator or Fiio E11. Thank you

Quote:   Yeah mate,    the E11 has no issues with powering my 650's or 580's. This is my first Fiio product and to say I am very impressed would be an understatement. Definitely going to be my portable amp of choice for more 'rugged and risky' endeavours :)      

I just got a pair of IE8's, one thing I'm noticing is a contact issue with the plug. On any contact, sound will crackle, occasionally losing sound in one side or the other ear. This holds true if I plug it into an ipod, a headphone amp, directly to a pc's headphone jack, so it's...

Ah the E7 is a dac....I thought it was a portable amp.

Really? I never knew this to be the norm, interesting. I'm lucky enough to have a predator that charges while in use.     So I've not been following Fiio's line too much, but I'm going to take the plunge on the E11 to take a peek. I'm curious does anyone know if the E11 will/can be used...

Anyone know of a good program that would sort through my itunes/music libraries and covert FLAC to apple lossless?

double post, sorry.

How do these compare to wired versions? I'm interested in the 550's because of the bluetooth functionality, but if I'm losing a lot of sound quality over a wired headphone and a headphone amp, then what's the point? Especially at that price point? Now if it's comparable to a HD650 with say a...

I'm giving some thought to the MM550's as well, and I'd love to hear some people chime in, while I can't argue the convenience and the lack of wires...   How does sound quality compare vs a wired headphone with portable headphone amps?      

Just the computer's soundcard, ok...thanks So it's not really going to help much

Would headproom's amp and dac improve the 170's SQ?

Hi, I would like my PC to output sound on both the USB Codec and the Sound Blaster Audigy Sound card at the same time if possible? Currently I am running : 1. Sound Blaster - Connected to Klipsch 2.1 promedia speakers 2. USB - connected to Headroom Stack. Whenever I plug the...

Alright, thank you Any suggestions to why I might get occasional crackling popping? It's definitely not the source file...

Thanks.... Even from an old Audigy 2 ZS to a X-Fi platinum? I do denote some pops and stuff when playing music at times. Not sure where that's coming from though.

So here's a question: I'm running a Headroom Microstack, so that's a Soundcard/PC to the DAC , to the AMP to headphones. My question is since I'm running an external DAC , will upgrading the soundcard improve sound quality? Thank you in advance

Yes I'm currently using the headphone outputs on the IPOD. :/ Hmmmm DIY eh?

Hi , For all you experienced Head-Fi-ers, I have a few portable amps which I use with my IPOD, and I'm considering making the plunge for a LOD cable. Is it worth it? What kind of sound quality improvement is expected, and what kind of LOD cable would you reccomend? I'm not really on a...

Straight from PC , Sound Blaster

Ok...So I have a Micro Amp and a set of HD650's Can anyone please explain to me what kind of SQ improvement would a Micro DAC provide?
