I am currently using a pair of Sennheiser HD650 headphones with a FiiO E17 DAC +E09K Amp combo. It sounds awesome but I have a few questions:   There are two places I can define Gain, a switch on the back of the E09k, and a software setting on the E17 itself. Should I use both? one? the...

Hello Headfi, first post here.   Is there some kind of "Introduce yourself" thread? If so, please point me towards it. :)   I've been lurking these forums for a few days as I've been on the lookout for a new set of cans. I've ended up deciding that I'll go with the V-Moda M-100. I come...

I currently am in the middle east and have a jds altoid can amp. I have monster turbine pro good ear buds and M50's. I have wanted the pro 900 headphones for a long time and there on sale for 295 right now and the e17 amp 139. Do you think this would be a good buy? Also would it be worth getting...

I am looking for a high quality headset or pair of headphones + mic and possibly external amp + dac that reach "audiophile" level. I would like to stay under $500 for the setup, if possible. This will be used for gaming on my Xbox and PC plus music and movies on my PC.  As far as taste goes, I...

I'm looking for a decent combo, possibly an integrated unit, for less than $400. Must have optical in. It's for immersive gaming and media watching. That is, Wii U, animated films, and anime. Bass isn't important.   Source is Panasonic DMP-BDT320. Headphones are AKG K702. Would like...

I currently have a FiiO E7 which I use as a DAC+Amp for my Audio-Technica M50's (even though an amp isn't really necessary on them).   I'm about to get a better pair of headphones and likely land on a DT 880 (250 ohm), DT 990 (250ohm), or HD 650. From what I understand my E7 won't be...

Alright so both are in my price range of ~200 USD. I am going to pair them with my Beyerdynamic DT 990's 250ohms. I have no other audio gear right now besides my headphones.   Music Preferences from most listened to least: Electronic Classical Jazz Rock Rap.   I'm a huge bass...

Hello everyone, I am currently in the process of updating my headphones from the hd 280 pro headphones and have deciced to buy the hd 650's since I listen to alot of genres in music. I have an asus xonar d2x sound card with apprently has decent dac and adc converters, only thing my sound card is...

I want to get a pair of surround sound headphones for PC gameing. I have looked into the Astro A40's but I'm not convinced of the price. I heard that parting the AD700's with an Astro Mixamp will make a great pair of Surround sound headphones. Is this true and are they good for gameing?  I have...

Hey guys,    I've been doing a bit of research and want to see if I'm on the right track for my first set of real headphones and amp/DAC. My real conundrum is that I mostly listen mostly to classical music and dubstep, with a bit of jazz in there too, so I was thinking open backed but on the...

Hi,   I currently own a FiiO E7 and I love it. I noticed the recent clarification about the E7 being compatible with the FiiO E09K, so decided to buy one from an Amazon seller, but unfortunately, the one that I was sent was from the older batch, and thus incompatible with my E7, so I have...

I have just received the Fiio e09k Amp with the q701 cans for my pc(mostly gaming use). Fiio is connected to Prelude through a jack to rca cable. What settings and volume levels would you recommend for optimal quality? Currently windows volume panel is on 75%, game mode, optimize speaker...

Notification about the compatibility between E09/E09K and E7/E07K/E17 Dear All friends, Thank you for your support to FiiO products all the way along. As we all know, E09K has been on the market for several months, but some users may still feel confused about the compatibility between...

Some of us may have already known this, but to let more FiiO fans know about it, here we go: the new product E09K is on sale now!   Let's see what has been improved from E9:  

Hi chaps, hoping someone can help. I've just received a new Fiio E09K Amp and getting no sound connected via USB to my iMac.   I've docked the E17 into it, plugged the headphones into the front socket on the E09K, checked sound preferences...and no sound coming through...the EO9K's blue...

i've been doing alot of research and came across a few reviews on both units. A review from HeadphonereviewHQ on youtube mentions about how the e17 sits on e09k.   here is the link, 7:11 mark http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZck_ZDT0FY   i've been thinking about ways to come up with...

Gear:   Player: Colorfly C3 \ PC    Amps: Fiio E07K (DAC) - - - If needed, I could also buy FiiO E09K (Desktop AMP)   Current phones: Audio Technica M50   I listen to rock and rap mostly       What phones at the range of 150$ would you reccomand?       *the cheaper - the better.

New Gear: FiiO E09KA handy desktop audio tool gets a nice refresh   By Michael Berk Posted June 28, 2012   When we looked at FiiO's desktop headphone amp, the E9, we had a few quibbles with the design, though few complaints about the sound or the bang it delivered for the buck. Well...

Thanks to this community I've ordered the sens HD598 and now I need a nice desk top amp/dac...   I don't have much money to spend and will probably get the audioengine D1 or the E17/E09K combo.  Which one will be better, I need to be able to hook up my imac/ps3 and/or xbox to it so I want...

I could get either the HD800 for 1100 (used, very good) or a Beyerdynamic T1 for 950 (new, extra padded headband from beyer). I heard that the HD800 is picky when it comes to amps. Does this make a real, make-or-break difference, or is it mostly just slight refinements/placebo effect (like...

Any thoughts on this combo?  Would this amp & DAC combo work well with the hd 650's?    http://www.headphonebar.com/hd650-fiio-e17-alpen-e09k/   I haven't been able to find any people review a combo like this.  I'll primarily be listening from my computer with mp3s and AAC files on...

Hey guys,   Really new to this kinda stuff and I've been searching for days with no success. I have an iMac that I run all my music off of and I wanted a desktop amp, so I bought a Fiio e09k. I'm running Sennheiser HD598's. My question is; Is there anyway to run the e09k through the iMac...

Dear All friends,   Thanks for your support and appreciation on FiiO’s new products .E09K get lots of good feedbacks ,but it’s really a pity that E09K can only be used with E17 now and can’t with E7. It’s our negligence. Now we would like all of you to kindly note the following points .  ...
