Just got a  TEAC A H01 DAC + Amp and now using a HP printer cable which i think sounds really crap. I scrolled some post regarding this topic and found out it dosen't worth spending loads of money in a usb cable.   i have around $60 budget and basically Im finding a cable which can give me...

Hi Super-Knowledgeable Head-Fi'ers,   Kind of a different question and I'm a bit over my head here.  We have an older Mitel phone system at our office that has a music on hold input jack.  Unfortunately, every audio source we've tried (radio, iPhone, laptop, etc.) sounds like absolute...

I'm not really the world's most passionate audio connoisseur, but I listen to podcasts and music 8 hours/day, and I'm a geeky developer who has to over-research everything.  Lately I'm taking a Nexus 7 to work everyday and listening to stuff that I pre-download on Play Music All Access.  It's my...

Hey guys,    Been lurking around these forums and learned quite a bit. But now I want some opinions on amping the HD650s. I currently already have the HD650s and FiiO E17+E90K, but now want something better. Looking to sell the E17+E90K to fund the next equipment. I have a budget of about...

Ok first of all I would like to apologize for any formatting problems this was written from my phone So Ok on to my problem I recently purchased a pair of beyerdynamic dt 990 premium 600 ohms and am in need of a amplifier for them Hears the problem I have no idea how to do the cable routing...

I just ordered AKG Q701's and I wanna get the e09k and just wondered if i needed to pair it with a dac.. I have an ASUS Xonar DG sound card and im not sure if it has a dac and junk Any recommendations around the same price would be nice too :) Thanks

Hi. I want to know, are expensive headphones really worth it? I spent 600 dollars on a pare of headphones, a DAC schiit modi and schiit magni amplifier to go with my Hifiman he-400 headphones. The reason I bought it is because I wanted to invest in nice headphones and I had my geek brother do...

Over the last year or so I've slowly build up my headphone collection.  I am ready to take the next step and trying to narrow my list down.  So far I have it narrowed to the DT880, HE400, and HD650 in no particular order. I enjoy a broad range of music ranging from rock, country, modern rock...

Hey guys, I'm looking for a trade up from E09k+E17 (currently powering my PC360). It's not that I don't like the quality of my equipment and the Fiio combo is more then enough to power my cans,it's just that well...... I want more. I can't quite explain it, but I want the audio quality to...

Hello I would like to ask somebody that has experience with the E09K amplifier from Fiio.   I don't understand if in order to accept input from an USB computer port one needs to dock an E17 unit. I am puzzled because the E09K specs states that there is an USB input so apparently the unit is...

Hello,   I guess everyone starts off by saying they're new to this, so i'd better get that out of the way.    I listen to everything, which is why I need my first pair to really just be good with everything.   I'll be listening from 3 main sources, my desktop, whose onboard sound is the...

Hey guys!   I have been an avid reader on this forum for a long time, and now I have registered because I need some help. I have ATH-w1000x arriving soon, and I want to be prepared in terms of amping.   I already own the Fiio E17, but fear it might not have what it takes to drive the...

I have just recived my FiiO E09K though after some use it is very quiet on the right channel, the left is fine though has anyone else experience this with the E09K?   Im using my Asus Xonar DGX for line out and its outputting to my ATH-M50s   EDIT   Ive also tried my motherboard output but...

nvm

Recently got my 650's and a fiio e09k.   However, I have noticed that the fiio cant driver the 650's properly since the base feels very weak. (I get a lot more powerful sound from $80 cans. My soundcard is a realtek HD so its not that bad.   What I was wondering is if the sound will be...

Hi, I have an AKG 271S and I am looking for upgrade (also 271 are not comfortable due the grip pressure). I usually listen with 6db+ on bass side with AKGs ... and that is quite OK, if still a bit dry sounding in midrange. I would like to try warmer sounding headphone, and was thinking about...

I am planning on getting some 600 ohm headphones (probably the dt880 or 990), mainly for computer use, and am planning on buying a new soundcard, and desktop amp. I don't want to 'waste' the headphones so I want to drive them properly and well(enough). I watch movies, play games, listen to...

So I am planning on getting a set of Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pros. I have done some research and have concluded that the 80ohm models will be most suited to what I listen to (Rap/Electronic/Rock). My question arises when I come to how I will be driving these bad boys. I currently have a Xonar DG...

I'm on a budget but want to get some Senn HD600's. I'm not so nieve to believe I don't need an amp with a little power, but I'm realistic to know I can't spend more than $200 on an amp. I currently have a Fiio E10, but would this be enough. I know Fiio is cheap so how about the new E12 or the...

Just got myself a Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro today. I've never owned any set of headphones except gaming ones. I'm using a Razer Megalodon right now, merely because I have nothing to drive the DT 990. I do have a Sound Blaster Zx coming on the mail, though (but this is obviously for another...

So, I use some of the heavy duty Velco to attach my E17 to my iPod Touch.  I am thinking of getting an E09K for my desktop, but am wondering if my tape is going to block docking.  Ic an just move the tape, but I want to avoid that if I can.  WOuld anyone be able to take a pick of the backs of...

Hi Everybody!   Yes that was a Dr. Nick reference. . .    Anyway, long time creeper, first time poster. This forum has helped me greatly. I started off with some ATH-M50s, moved over to the bose QC whatever over the ear model, and more recently I'm using the beyerdynamic 770s 250ohm...

Hi guys,   I'm going to make the jump on a desktop rig of some description this weekend. I've narrowed it down to two setups which I can get for about the same price, a FiiO E09K with Sennheiser HD600 headphones (plus the FiiO E17 I already own for the DAC), against a recently discovered...

I own an iBasso DB2 and PB2. I am incredibly fond of their sound, but I've found that I've been leaving them in my office essentially all of the time and never actually take advantage of their built-in batteries. It's largely a question of size; as much as I love their sound, the two of them...

Just purchased a new set of Beyerdynamic DT-880 600 ohms and up until this point I havent had a need for a high impedance amp. Ive been getting by on the E17   After a little bit of research I have seen that adding the E09K to my setup would solve my problem and give me enough power for the...
