Hi There,    My work desktop is a old HP computer, and I'm curious if an AMP/DAC combo will help improvement my audio experience.   I'm generally using my P5s at work, and listening to spotify on 320kbps. Will a Fiio e17 benefit my setup/headphones?    Thanks!     My portal media player...

What are some slim DAC/Amp that can be used with my pc as well as pmp(Sony) and maybe android phone(low priority)? The FiiO e18 seems to work with pc but is that the best in the price range, ~$200? Going to be using it with my CK100Pro and ES10.

Hi after spending 10 hours reading through forum I am still so confused and dont  fully understand about what are Tube, solid, AMP, DAC.. ... etc I dont really need a full answer or explanation, I just need some advise on what should i purchase between 100-170$. In future i might increase the...

Hello everyone.   The more I read, the tiny bit more confused I get. So I currently have my HD650 paired up with FiiO E17, and I don't feel like getting even half the potential out of my headphones. I've read and read - and come to realize that I can't simply find the "right choice" since...

I bit the bullet and got the HD 380s (54Ω), I've given them some time to burn in and I like the neutrality of their sound. They sound a lot better than the cheap headphones I was using  before, but being a newbie to this world of audio gear my inexperience with the accessories make it hard for...

I wonder - this Fiio 17 - isnt it overkill for my casual listing, on the sub on my way to work, when I m hospitalized or just walk the dog. Never use my headphones at home, havin an expensive hometheater ... What other dac / amp should I look at. E7 ? iBasso products? Do they need to be as...

I just recently got my iMod back.  I was speaking with Vinnie of Red Wine Audio and he stated he wasn't a fan of Fiio amps, and suggested I looked into the Ray Samuels Audio amps.  But I also wanted to get some opinions here before I do anything.   I purchased the E17 not too long ago.  Got it...

Hi i know that the e17 can be pair with the e09 then the 17 will become DAC and e09 will become AMP. But can the e17 be pair with other AMP like schiit magni ... etc.. If yes please give me some instruction.   Also between the amp and dac which is more important. I have the HD650. for example...

so I have had my m-duo's for almost a week now and am wanting to get a amp for them next month.  its going with a 4g nano.  what I would like is something that would bring the mids up a bit.  as of now I have to crank them a bit to bring the vocals up when there is a lot in certain songs.  as...

I'm about to purchase a windows 8.1 tablet... Which of these would work? I have akg q701,senn hd 518, and about to purchase Shure srh840. I realize the e12 doesn't have a dac.

The HD 650's weren't shrink wrapped, is it possible the seller just took used headphones and repackaged and sold them as new? The headphones weren't smelly or anything. I ended up paying $479.68 for a seller that had 2,000+ feedback. The outside of the silver box had a few dents in it.   So...

Getting some HD558 for Christmas and wondering about a Fiio E17 to provide better dac and amp. I intend using the combo on my desktop pc, small netbook pc, and, in my cinema room for connecting to the optical out from FreeSatHD (Humax FoxSat HD), FreeviewHD(Smartbox 8320hd) , Bluray (cheapy one)...

 I have seen mention of it buried in other threads and I was just curious if I was imaging it?  Any ideas when it will be available?   I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus and from what I have read the E18 sounds like the perfect portable for me (assuming I am not dreaming it).   -gl

I have an Ipod Touch 4G and would like to know which would sound better with a line out cable. Default sq from the touch was pretty awful but using the EQU app it sounds far better. The sound still feels quite cold and reading "Dale's" review of the Fiio E12 on Amazon he says that the E12 brings...

I need to buy some amp for this cruel headphones, budget is <200$, reviewing these three model (maybe something better exists) also looking on Asus Xonar Essence STX, i don't need portability and features just best quality of sound for PC Please advice best one to choose, Thanks

I'm in love with the EQ settings on the E17. I just wish there were more options for it.   Basically, I have the EQ set perfectly for a certain IEM that I own, and because it also has a built in DAC, the EQ setting remains the same across both iPod/iPhone use, and computer (USB DAC) use.  ...

Hi,   I was wondering why my E17 always shows the audio being played at 48k/16bit no matter what source file I play. i.e:- 128, 320 or 800 kbps, FLAC or MP3. If so, what's the point of that display? Or maybe it only works for SPDIF connection? I use the USB connection. Thanks.

Im looking for a DAC (as i'm now dubble amping with the e17) I can spend around 150 euro (200 dollars). I would preferably want one I can also use if i buy a better amp than my 15 year old phillips :). I did find the Argon DAC 1, does anyone know how it sounds?

Hi guys, I’m pretty set on getting the E17 AMP/ DAC but just having trouble picking headphones, I was thinking about buying 2 or 3 to try out since there isn't anywhere near me where I can test out any of my selections, let alone decent selections to compare with. My max budget is £250 for one...

So which AMP/DAC combo should I get to drive the Q701 out of my laptop. Don't care about portability but I am looking for a neutral sounding amp/dac combo and the cheaper the better. What would do you guys think would work best for me? I'm leaning towards the magni/modi combo but 200 dollars is...

i have the sennheiser momentum and i have been reading reviews that the 650 are "better" in some ways. i would like to buy them after more reading reviews/opinions on them but i first need to know if they can be driven from my E17 amp. i don't want to buy another amp now 

Hi all,   I just bought yesterday the BCL. Before I used the Fiio combo e09k/e17. By now I connect the BCL directly to the CDP, because I do not have other DAC than the e17, and I do not see any possibility to connect the two directly together.   The question is, may I connect the BCL to the...

I have the audio setting to Opt on the FiiO and Audio output settings to Optical on the PS3.  I am getting sound through the cans when I flick around the Playstation options.  Once the game has started there is no audio anymore.  Battlefield 4 is the game.  Thanks to anyone who can help!
