I have a set of Grado 225's that I use for listening at work. Currently they are just connected to a Rolls mixer which is fed by my MacBook Pro and iPhone. Eventually I want something like an iDecco or MusicBox to drive these, but that is not going to happen for a while.   In the meantime, I...

I'm new to amps, so some help would be appreciated! I want to connect my Fiio e10 to my e9 (coming from my MacbookPro):   1) Do I simply use a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable from the e10 line out to the e9 line in? 2) Does it matter what kind of cable I buy? For under $20, do they all sound the...

I've tested again and again, the sound quality from Line Out flat out beats the Headphone Out; it's as if you lose a lot of bass when you choose Headphone Out.   Can someone shed some light on this?   Setup: WMP 11 FLAC -> FiiO E10 -> AKG K240 MKII

I'm wondering if anyone has paired one of these Chinese Bravo 6922 tube amps from ebay with a fiio E10 line out (or via the RCA output) and noticed either an improvement in sound or loss of detail?   Would be great to hear of experience with budget valve amps paired with an E10.  

Hello everybody !   I own Quads 1964 ears IEM since a year, they sound fantastic, but I'd like to buy a USB AMP, i heard good sthings on the Hi-Fi Man EF2A and FiiO E10, which one would you recommend to me ? and if there is another amp better in the same price range as the Hifi man ?   ...

so i recently brought a pair of mmx 300 and a calyx  coffee usb dac expecting a decent base but the quality hasn't been that good i'm not sure if my expectations were to high or i'm doing something wrong. also i have the dac turned up all the way and while it is loud its not nearly loud enough...

Hi all,   I'm looking into getting the E10 within the next week or so. I've heard it's a fantastic value and I've read many reviews including ClieOS's on it, also I can get it for $30.   I was wondering how well it will work with the TF10s. Most people say that the TF10s don't need to be...

  Got the amp yesterday,and I'm very pleased.. it seems to be working out great with my  HD598's.   Question: On the back of the amp ,there is s a switch marked "gain".  what is this for??.it has a high & low setting,mine is set to low.   Also,does anyone have a direct link to the...

Does the FiiO E10 volume knob only change the volume of the headphone output on the front? That's all mine controls. Not sure if I have a faulty unit or not, as it seems a strange design choice...

Hello,   For those who have a Mac and a Fiio E10, can you please help me test something?   Do you guys notice that the built-in Mac sound effects, such as emptying trash, moving files or folders from one location to another and so forth sounds really weird? It sounds as if it is skipping...

As my title suggests, I am trying to find a relatively simple and cheap dac for my ld1+ and grad set up, and was wondering if the Fiio e10 would be a suitable option

I just received my fiio e10 and the manual says speakers can be connected to the back through the line out. This may  be a dumb question but can the 3.5mm cable from my klipsch promedia 2.1 connect to this cable and work? And if this is the case do the speakers get disabled when headphones are...

  Hi!   I'm using some Grado SR80i's through the Fiio E10 and I find the bass to be just too weak for my liking.   Is there anyway I can acquire an EQ of somesorts? I can use the EQ in windows media player and adjust the EQ to how I like it, but obviously it's only limited to WMP. I...

I bought the Sennheiser HD650 along with a Fiio E10 since I didn't want to throw away too much money the first time.    If, in the future, I want to buy a better amp, could I still use the E10 as only a DAC and connect a better amp to it?    Thanks!

As the title says my fiio e10 seems to have different volume levels on each usb port I try and it also seems to effect quality.. is this a known issue? because I couldn't find anything through the search function. Besides testing each port is there any programs around or any suggestions into...

I'm about to just buy the Fiio E10 from Amazon. But just in case, is there anything else i should look at before i make the jump? something under $100.

I just got a pair of Sennheiser HD 598s. I want to get a headphone amp for better sound. Should I get the Fiio  E10, E9, or E17? (Some people also suggested the E7, but I'm new to the audiophile world and don't know much about amps)

i know the E10 has a noisy socket for some plugs. i didn't experience that problem -exactly-. but i did have two headphones mysteriously fail after a week or two of use with the Fiio. first, my IEMs: they developed a crackly sound when moving around while listening, even when i was plugged into...

I have the Fiio E10 right now.    I was wondering if there was a difference between when it is plugged in directly in my Macbook Air or when I connect it to a USB hub that is powered by my wall outlet (Im not sure if that's the word, English is not my first language)?    Basically, does...

So I've been lurking around some forums looking for an answer to this, and someone told me this might be the best place to ask.   I just got my Fiio e10 today, and apparently if I try to change the output format to anything OTHER than 16/44, my computer will immediately crash if any...

I'm interested in getting some HE-4s however my only ampifier is a FiiO E10, should I bother getting the HE-4s or will the FiiO E10 limit them to a point where it wouldn't be worth it over a $200-300 dynamic headphone? Thanks!

I'm currently using HiFiMANs dynamic offering with the $25 Xonar DG Dac/amp sound card, I'll be getting $100 this weekend so I thought I might upgrade to the USB FiiO E10 however I'm unsure of it will make a noticeable difference over the current Xonar DG, and since I know you guys are  more...

Before I lay down my cash for a FiiO E10 I wondered I'd there are any alternatives in the same price range (give or take). Thanks!

Which do you think would be the best for HE-300s, FiiO E10 or Little Dot I+? DAC would be my motherboard or Xonar DG if I choose  the Little dot. Thanks!

I am about to buy a Fiio E10 Dac/Amp and I will be pairing them with My Brianwavz Hm5's and Fostex T50rp's (modded). If there are any better suggestion under 100 please let me know!
