And use it to power headphones?

I'm going to start this off by saying I'm very new when it comes to buying audio equipment. I recently bought a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770 80ohms but I feel like they're a little flat compared to my previous headphones (Gaming headphones - corsair vengeance 1500). I haven't even started using...

I am wondering if anybody has a USB DAC with an asynchronous indicator that they would be willing to test on Android. I am thinking of getting the HRT Music Streamer II or II+, but I would not know how to verify asynchronous operation. I was thinking that the Galaxy Note 3 may be one of the few...

nvm

which one is the best matching?

Right now I have the HD600s and Beyerdynamic DT 880 250 ohm pros which I recently bought.  I'm using E17+E9 but I'd like recommendations on amp/dac upgrades that would improve sound quality by a lot or at least a noticeable/significant amount.  Thanks.

You can really notice the E12s uneven frequency response, with a slight grade at ~ 1 kHz. Measurements are with 33 ohm loads and with line-in level ~ 1.0Vp and gain adjusted to get ~ 2.5Vpeak headphone output:   http://www.jensign.com/FiiOE17/RMAA/CompareE17E12/Compare_E17_E12.htm

My Fiio E17 keeps crashing my laptop which runs Windows 8. It's getting on my nerves. I get a BSOD and the error is "bugcode_usbdriver". This happens all the time, several times a day.. Many times while I'm watching a show or a movie and I'm getting to a good part.. but I've ruled out...

Hi Folks,   I have a beginner's, stupid question to ask. I own the Fiio E17, and intended to use it with my MacBook Pro (late 2011) as the source. I bought some hi-res files from HDTracks.com (24 bit 192 Khz) before I realized that using the USB input on the Fiio E17 will only go up to 24bit...

The official release of new waterproof pouch for E17/E07K/E12!   Under damp environment, the former pouch for E17/E07K/E12 would easily get moldy, so we changed it into the new waterproof pouch for future productions. Now please kindly check the introduction to the new waterproof pouch as...

Hi all, i would just like to know if i buy the Philips Fidelio X1  headphones that i am making the right choice by buying a Fiio E17 dac when im listening to on my laptop? Or is there a cheaper alternative to this dac for my laptop? Thanks in advance :)

Does anyone here use a dedicated DAC/AMP combo for production?   I don't do a lot of recording, if any at all, so I'm looking for a good USB DAC/AMP combo to use with my headphones (currently AKG K702s and Beats by Dre Studio, both hopefully to be replaced by AKG K550s which should be...

So I recently got a Samsung Galaxy S4 and I want to start using it for music instead of bringing along my iPod Video Classic. However, the headphones/IEMs I use for portable listening are the HiFiMAN RE-262s and the Mad Dogs w/ Alpha Pads. Both of which are not necessarily easy headphones to...

Greetings to all Head-Fiers, everyone please post opinions,advice,photos,etc.... As i am still in dilemma right now to choose  between this 3 portable amps to pair with my JH16 Pro and i still have around 1 month time only to consider to upgrade my JH16 order with JH Audio to the JH3A combo.  ...

I recently purchased the FiiO E7 for 60 bucks used on amazon. I haven't really seen any opinions on this amplifier. I use a pair of sennheiser HD 558 and AKG K240 headphones, and I assume this would suit those well, but would the E17 or E07K be a better option? Or am I fine and should just save...

I've been using my fiio e17 as a dac for about a year and a half, and a month ago i noticed that the entire amp was warping. Not sure how it happened, but the entire front side is bent quite a lot. Anyways, it was still working fine except for the volume control, which didn't matter since i'm...

I'm having a weird issue happening, and I'm hoping that someone else may have a solution.   I recently purchased a FiiO E9K and E17 for my desktop (well, the E17 is also for portable use) and I really like them.  Strangely, though, every now and then all I will hear coming from my headphones...

Hi all, i was thinking of buying a Fiio E17 dac for use with my laptop as it only has the very basic sound device. Or can anyone recommend a better or cheaper alternative to the Fiio E17 to use with the Philips Fidelio X1 headphones?   Thanks in advance, Homer

Dear all, i'd like to use the Fiio E17 both at home and outside home.   At home i'd like to use it connected by optical cable to Asus Xonar U3 usb card (for 7.1 virtualization in games).   Outside home i'm looking for a source that can send digital signal to E17... I don't know if my...

Out of all of these, the only one I haven't heard is the E10. So now:   I currently use a FiiO E11 to drive my Sennheiser HD558. I'm looking in the market for a USB DAC, and am currently stuck between the Nuforce Icon UDAC2, FiiO E10, E07K, and the E17. I think I'm leaning more toward the...

FiiO E17 USB DAC Headphone Amplifier $90 OBO Very powerful little amp/DAC. It adds great depth and bass to any headphone you decide to use with it! Again, comes with original packaging and accessories. Amazon link to the amp FiiO E9K High Output Desktop Headphone Amplifier and...

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...

Hey everyone, I'm looking for an amplifier to power my Senn HD580's. I would like to keep the price under $150 if it's possible. It doesn't really matter to me if the amp is portable or not, I'll be using it at my desk. I would like to have one with a built in DAC, but it isn't a huge deal to me...

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...
