Hi everyone!   I have been reading about portable amps recently, and I am very intrigued to incorporate one into my setup. This is the best place I can think of to get some help in choosing the right one (preferably something with great imaging/soundstage representation).   Right now I am...

I'm planning on buying the L3 LOD cable from Fiio, and I ave a problem. It costs me 25$ in my country and I'm a student, so I don't know if it will actually improve any sound. Is it just placebo?

Hello, How are you? I am writing this thread because I am going to purchase my first headphone amp and I need some advice. The amp will be used with an iPod Classic 5th Gen and some Philips Citiscape Uptown Over-ears. I will probably buy some other Headphones in the future, but they are not...

Hi guys, I have ordered an e12 and waiting for that to arrive.In the meantime i checked some reviews and found some negative comments. A problem in the bass boost!!!! few users had experienced a distorted bass when they use it regularly.Does anyone have the same problem? i'm planning to use...

Hello guys !  Furutech ADL has just sent me a very new gorgeous IEMs , still not have any information about this guys.  I can tell you the sound signature : it's extremely dark, bass clamming force is great, has good amount at low bass and mid bass. Absolutely a loser in details, i haven't...

Not looking to spend more than 50$, any help would be appreciated! Prefer straight pretty short, fiio e12\phone, but doesn't really matter I guess. Thanks!

I'm now using my iPod touch 4g, fiio L1, fiio e5 and pfe112. Just wanna ask which one would replace my amp best, when price is not a major concern. (e11 has lower output impedance, pfe112 has 32 ohms resistance) Thanks :)

Hi everyone, i just got a new pair of IEM's the Heir 5.0... even though i own them now for some time, i'm still blown away everytime i put 'em back in... Right now i'm feeding those puppies from an 5.5g DIY Mod and powering them with my E17 wich is quite statisfying to my ear, i've already...

Hello-   Can I use a Fiio E12 connected to laptop to drive a LCD-2 headphone without causing any damage to any of the components?   Thank you.

Pros and cons of each? Which gives best and cleanest bass boost and improves soundstage? I know both are known for doing those two things but I want to know which does it better. I can get both for $100

The Fiio E12 has a gain setting of either 0 or 16... Nothing in between, one or the other.   My Audio Technica ATH-W1000X phones have an impedance of 42 ohms.   Should I have the gain switch on my E12 set to 0 or 16?

I've recently had an accident with my e11 while working. The e12 had my interest for a while but I couldn't justify getting it since my e11 worked fine. I ordered the e12 without doing research about newer products, unfortunately after ordering I found out about the e18 and now wondering if I...

I've been looking around here...and ive not been able to find a thread that could answer my question for me...   So I've just been wondering, what is it that an expensive amp can do that a cheap amp can't do. If there is a substantial difference, when does price/quality ratio start to get...

Hi,   I see people really liking  Fiio E12 and the bad news is that  reviews says the E12 has a small sound stage. Now, I bought a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 990 pro 250 ohm's. I'm coming froma pair of AKG 518 headphones, which were closed and claustrophobic. I heard that open headphones are airy...

Hi everyone! I was wondering if there were any producers that travel frequently that have any good can/amp suggestions/combos. I'm stepping up from my ah-m50 and have some new found insight into what I think I want. 1) Closed back. It gets noisy crowded when I'm trying to work sometimes...

Hello I am in the market for a portable amplifier for my minitio call of duty mw3 ear buds. What all do you recommend? And are these headphones any good? If not what do you recommend? My budget for an amp is around $40-60. These are the earbuds I currently have. They had good reviews on...

Hi which is the best portable amp for ipod Classic /Nano and Laptop under 150 among those in the list?   Fiio E11 Fiio E12 Fiio E17 iBasso D-Zero NuForce Mobile Music Pump JDS Labs C5   I have a Grado RS1ì and a Brainwavz R3 Dual Dynamic     Can you make a list, starting from best...

I'm considering buying a E12 but am concerned about any fakes out there?, on Ebay Uk a couple of sellers are selling them at £20 cheaper than authorised retailers?, like everyone I like to save a bit of cash here and there. I'm wondering if the serial number on the pack could just be replicated...

I currently use the FiiO E07k and E12 combo for my desktop and portable needs. The headphones I only need amping for is the AKG Q701 and Fostex T50RP. I haven't "been there" in terms of hearing my Q's and T50's with a high-end amplifier, and I'm pretty satisfied with the E12. However, will...

Hi people, Can anyone please suggest me what is the best way to eliminate the Interference noise when using the Fiio E12 Portable Amp with iphone or any other mobile phone as the source ? I have use the new Fiio L8 interconnect cable which is using Furukawa Oyaide cable as it says that it can...

I'm looking for a cheap, portable phone-sized amp (below $150) to power my LCD-2. Is the Fiio E12 adequate? Or is there a better alternative in that price range?   Thanks, vsha

I have a good setup at home (DAC/MisterX PPA/LCD2) but I'm looking for something cheap and not too nasty for work. Mains powered, very compact so I can lock it away if required, preferably in the $50 to max $100 price range. It will feed the Mad Dog modified T50RPs, which I'll only buy if I can...

I recently obtained Pioneer SE-L40 headphones and many of you probably know it has mediocre/so-so sound. I want to be able to drive them wherever I go and I heard a lot of good things about the E12 which, although lists only 16-300 ohm headphones, can drive up to 600 ohm headphones. The pioneers...

Hi Guys,   Over the last few weeks I've been reading review after review of the Fiio E12 and it seems it's what I'm looking for to replace my E11 with my HD600/ipod while I'm roaming around the house. I have been thinking at times when I want to "rock out" that I would love just a tiny little...

So I own Sennheiser HD380 and even though it's only 52 Ohm and I think about 110 db sensitivity, I am happy with the sound. It's loud enough.   Now ... people that buy FiiO E12, Fiio E10 and other small AMPs just rave about how they 32-52 ohm headphones started sounding so much better once run...
