Hello all.   I'm getting perilously close to buying a FiiO E09K desktop headphone amp. It will be used exclusively with my desktop computer and my shiny new Sennheiser Momentums.   Problem I'm having is that I can't find any reviews of the E09K without the E17 docked.   I just want to run...

Hello Head-Fiers,   I was just wondering what your opinions are of these DAC/AMP combos and how they compare to each other.  The headphones I would want to power are HD650 and Dt-990 600 ohms.  The fiiO combo has an advantage because I would like to have portability, but I'm trying to make...

Hi guys, I am looking to buy a dac to pair with my Philips Fidelio x1 but I am having trouble deciding between e07k/09k combo or just go for the x3 since they cost around the same. The device will be mainly for pc/laptop usage. Are they going to sound or work the same if paired with my...

I currently own Beyer Dynamics DT 990's 250OHM. I am using a Asus Xonar Essence STX as a amp currently. I am looking for something bertter and looking to invest 1,500-2,000$ in a Headphone and amp setup. I would be ok to purchase quality headphones and save more for a amp later if need be. I...

Hi, I recently purchased a DT 880 Premium 250ohm headphones and I'm loving it. I also got an Fiio E17 with these pair of headphones and even with gain set to 6, the volume from 30-40 is loud enough for my ears. Will I benefit at all from purchasing an E09k if the E17 is loud enough? Other than...

Hi folks, this is my first post here.  I had recently began my venture into the audiophile territory with K550. (with the Fidelio L2 on the way ) I re-ripped my whole cd collection from mp3 to apple lossless through itunes, and I was enjoying my music.  However a couple of days ago, a friend...

I'm new to this stuff so forgive me but I'm wondering what is the point of using the Fiio E09K as a dock with the Fiio E17? The E17 is a dac/amp so what is the point of using the E09K as a dock together with the E17? The E17 already does what the E09K does, no?

Hello, I have FiiO E17 with FiiO E09K on USB connection My computer is Asus Z77 Sabertooth motherboard OS - Windows 8 for 2 weeks and Windows 7 for 6-7 months. Headphone - Sennheiser HD600, Audio Technica ATH-M50    I have been running FiiO E17 with FiiO E09K combo (USB) for 6-7 months now...

Hey Everyone, I got an E09K for Christmas to plug my E17 Dac into. I am using the E17 as my sound card and then the Eo9K to dock the E17. For those not familiar this is the back of the E09K. I want to connect my MAudio AV40 Monitors to the E09K so I can listen to them sometimes in stead of my...

Hi all, first post here. I ordered the Sennheiser HD 650, expected to come tomorrow. I have the following gear available to set my hp rig: Headphones: Senn Amperiors, Sony MDR-1R, Grado SR60i. DAC: Wyred4Sound Dac-2 Amp: Fiio E09K. Source: Logitech Squeezebox Touch via coax, streaming from...

All, I'm in need of advice.  Having recently picked up a Sen hd650; my previous desktop setup of e09k+e17 just didn't cut it anymore. I was using an O2+Odac combo at work, and it soundly clobbers my FiiO stack unto it's now sitting at work.  The problem is the O2+Odac I have has no other...

Hello Head-Fi!   After lurking the forum for about a year I finally decided that its time to become a member and also start putting together a full size setup rather than just messing with my portable one. I bought a pair of MDR-XB1000 recently and to my surprise (not really) my laptop...

How is this combo? I would be using the Sennheiser HD598 and an iPod touch as the source. I read this is a good combo or is there a better amp to be used with the Senns and an iPod? With a 250$ max for an amp. Desktop not portable

Hi all! I recently got an E09K as a gift. I've had the unit for less than a month and today when I turned it on I noticed the blue light wasn't steady. It would go from almost off, to very bright, and all point in between. I unplugged the unit and tried plugging in in (just power) to a few...

Hey guys, I searched the forums and didn't seem to be able to find a definitive answer to this question.  I'm using the E17 + E09k with USB out from my PC to power my DT-990s.  I don't really intend to use the E17 as a portable amp very often.  What is the best thing to do for the health of the...

I have searched the numerous threads regarding Samsung and E17, but have not found anyone specifically referencing this, so I thought I would post and see if anyone has any experience.  Would the E17 work with the S4 when it is connected to the S4 Smart Dock?  Logic (non-engineering, user logic...

I just received the e09k + e17 combo. I have one issue, though. Everything works great until I put my computer to sleep and come back later, then "dock in" mode doesn't work (no audio). Meanwhile, "aux in" still works. The issue isn't fixed until I reboot my computer. This issue is reproducible...

So I have a pair of ATH-M50's that I use at home plugged into my Sound Blaster Z card, and I recently purchased the E07K and E09K to use on my desktop, and maybe the E07K to go portable with as well, and I was basically wondering how this selection is going to treat me. I did find an old thread...

Hey guys. I just got a Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 250 Ohms + FiiO E09K. I already had a Xonar Essence STX, but i didn't l ike the amp very much. However, this soundcard has a pretty good DAC. Anyway, I just want to use the E09K as a Amp, and the STX as a DAC. Which connections I use, and what cable...

This setup has always worked fine. I don't think I changed anything at all. The e17 works fine via usb. While docked, the e17 is recognized by windows and the screen shows 96K 24bit. I tried the reset button on the e17. I tried to see if LO bypass would work. I've tried rebooting my pc...

I've just received my E09K. I'm all happy and ready to try it out when I noticed a sticker on the box which said I should check on fiio website for the product's authenticity. So I did. The website says it is fake. What???   I bought it through "fiio shop" (through amazon.de) which seems to be...

I have a E09k, and wanted to know if you can hook up a Little Dot MKII to the line out. My E09k is hooked up to my Titanium hd rca out.

Hello Head-Fi, first time posting in the HI-FI section. Im still a beginner to audio so i apologize for my lack of knowledge.   I have been on a quest to find a new set of hi-fi cans. So i narrowed it down to the the DT-990 pro's or the AKG-Q701's. Long story short i decided on the Q701's...

My Headphones: -Maddog T50RP -Senn HD 650 -Monster Copper Turbine Pro   My Amp: Fiio e09k Fiio e11   Sound Card: Creative Titanium HD   So I'm selling my computer and will no longer have a sound card, but I really liked the sound of the titanium HD. What dacs/amp combos are out there...
