I have an Ipad, a Fiio E7 and the apple camera kit.   I use this setup to play 24/96 Flac files though my headphones(B&W P3). I use FlacPlayer app and store a limited amount of Flac files on the Ipad as this app does not allow streaming from my NAS.   I also have an Iphone 4s 16gb and I...

So after extensive research i finally bought these cans.  My most recent pair of headphones used are Shure SRH840's.  I listened to these amped on a FiiO E7.   To test these headphones out i listened to almost every genre under the sun.  Some of the songs include.   Mozart - Requiem K...

I am new to the Audio Quality world.   I enjoy music, and if I had to guess, I would say, 6 hours of my day is spent listening to music via headphone at my office.   I was in the Market for headphones. I have an older pair of Koss UR-15c and wanted to upgrade. Bought a pair of Bose AE2...

I've been looking at the Headphone Buying Guide for headphones around $300-350, but there are multiple options for my price range and I frankly don't have enough experience to know what would be the best to get in my situation. I'd prefer closed-backs unless there are fairly quiet open-backs (it...

New guy here.   Just want to start off by saying this is a great forum that I have lurked many times in the past in order to get audio gear insight. Keep up the good work   Anyway, basically the very tip of the plug on my Shure SRH840's broke off in my Macbook's headphone jack. My...

I did a search and my problem didn't come up. However i figure with all the expertise present in these forums, somebody might have an answer...   I recently got an NAD amplifier with a MDC DAC built into it. It sounded great running from my laptop via USB.   When i'm on the move i use a...

I am thinking about getting the FiiO E7 to use as a "usb sound card" and for a portable amp. Is this the best option for these two uses?   This item would be used most at my computer and occasionally used for a portable amp.

I know there have probably been about 1000 of these on there, but i figure why not one more opinion.   To start off, in case you were debating buying one of these, if you dont have an amp, BUY IT.  The difference is uncanny.  So i'm going to break this down into 2 categories, audio quality...

Hi everyone. I'm currently in the process of deciding whether or not to use a Digizoid ZO2 amp (when I get it in the near future) to dual amp the source to my headphones . My proposed setup would be like this: Source(Laptop through usb out)---->Fiio E7---->Digizoid...

I understand that I need one of these:   http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10218&cs_id=1021804&p_id=5611&seq=1&format=2   in order to hook up the RCA slots on the E9 to the headphone jack on the TV. But does this also make use of the E7? Since the E7 is run on USB...

So I'm getting a new pair of sennheiser HD 598s soon but I cannot afford an amp. Will they still sound good? I currently own a pair of Philips SBC HP400. Will I notice a difference?  

Hey everyone,   I currently am using the Ultrasone PRO 900.  I was wondering what would be the next step up from them.  I would love some recommendations.   Thanks!

For those worried about the quality of the dac in this unit.   Well fear not, i have one here right now plugged into my fiio e7 and superb is all i have to say.   The sound is imo about as good as you're going to get from such a device.   Currently listening to star wars medley 3...

I'm putting together new desktop and using laptops for years now I don't know squat about desktops. Do I need dedicated sound card for those speakers ? I'm using Asus Sabertooth z77 mobo http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131821 Here's the link to the speakers...

I just ordered a bifrost and was told that coax > optical > usb.  I would like the best possible quality, so I wish to go with coax.   My motherboard unfortunately only has optical spdif out.   So, i'm guessing I'll have to get a pci-e soundcard that has coax spdif output.   Since...

Hey guys   Will the cowon j3 alone sound better than an ipod + fiio e7?

As an IEM user and avid gadget lover, I am always have a particularly interest in portable amps. The sub-$100 price range is where I started my amp journey and I am sure it is the same for many others as well. Though I have moved onward to better portable amps at higher price range, I have...

Hey   I am looking at buying an amp for my headphones to use with my laptop   I have a FiiO E6 already and I like a would really like a USB amp like a E10, E7 or E17   But I have also come across some of Creative's products like  ...

Hey guys,    I have got the Audio Technica Pro700MK2 anniversaries, with a ZO 2 and a fiio L3, ever since i started to go low gain paired with my L3, the volume can't really go that loud. i pretty much have to listen to all my music on the pre high gain mode (purple). The thing is, high gain...

I've been look and reading about these Fiio E7 & Fiio E10 DAC/Amps. I am specifically wondering how much one would actually improve the audio of my laptop, which uses some "Realtek HD Audio" device.   As for headphones I really enjoy the AKG K271. They sound pretty good from my laptop, but I...

Dear all, we just receive an email from our user, he confirm that Galaxy S2 can output digital audio output. I think it is a very good news for audiophile who own an Android phone ( maybe it should support OTG/USB host function),   We will design a new Mini USB to Macro USB cable with L...

Hey there, Im new to all of this. just thought id get that out there haha.. but yeah the question is what is a good DAP to use with the FiiO E7 Amp/Dac?? headphones are ATH-M50's I have an iPhone 4, what are the views on that? ill be upgrading to the Galaxy S4.. but i dont want to use my phone...

Soundstage is extremely important to me, which is why I switched to exclusively circumaural headphones. However, I am moving around and in noisy areas alot which restricts me to using closed-back headphones.   So I'm looking for sub-$300 headphones with a closed back and a massive...

Does anyone else have these headphones. I read around and everywhere people are saying that the treble is pretty bright but doesn't venture into sibilance. Well I just bought them and WOW they are VERY VERY sibilant to my ears.   People from this topic...
