Hey everyone, I've just got my HD958 and really pleased with it. Currently using it with a UCA202.. I'm looking for an upgrade in the DAC/AMP. There are alot of threads about this already but I've got one "problem". I already own AV40s and do want to use the DAC to power those. I dont...

I have been trying to find an amp and dac for my HD650 to replace my receiver, but ended up with two options that i cant decide on: the Audinst HUD MX-1 and the Fiio e7+e9 combo. Anyone use both before and found one better for the 650?   If you have another amp in mind, I'm trying to keep...

I've recently been looking into getting an upgrade from the little THX usb dongle i've been using for a bit, and i've heard good things about the Fiio, and i was wondering... Is it worth the $90? Thanks! -NOwl

Hey guys i have to send back my xonar essence i just got because it is defective so im thinking about getting the ffio e7+e9 combo. My question is can you use a microphone with this?

Hello guys I am planning to purchase Sony MDR-XB1000 because I love house, electronic and trance music. (I listen to dj: rt24 from soundcloud if you want to check out my music taste) Would an amplifier for example like FiiO E11 make a lot of difference for me listening to music from both...

  Hy I'm looking for advice about what Headphones to buy. I'm still studying so on a fairly limited budget.   I was thinking to buy the Grado SR60i + amp, because if I'm not mistaken I will get more "bang" for my money by doing this than by buying let's say a 125I or 225i. As amp I was...

Hello everyone   I am looking to upgrade my current headphones. I have 2-3 years old pair of HD555s (modded of course) plugged to a Titanium HD. I want the headphones mostly for music, since the only game I pretty much play is Starcraft. I listen to pretty much every music style possible...

Hey everyone. I own the Sennheiser HD 598 and I was told that I needed to get a headphone amplifier in order to see its true colours shine.   I own a laptop and use the Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Go DAC, I know not the best decision. I recently tested my cousins Monster Beats Studio by Dr...

Hello everyone,   As you can see my post count is now at 1. (whee) I have to admit I've been a music lover for several years now although my exposure and understanding of sound quality is probably well under-developed. I've been working for couple years now and finally have some breathing...

Hi everyone. I'm brand-spanking-new to the whole audiophile/hifi/spending-money-on-headphones-and-amps-because-you-actually-value-the-sound-quality-of-the-music-you-listen-to/etc. hobby. I've been doing some research here and there, and finally settled on the Audio-Technica ATH-AD900...

How drastically do the Shure SRH750DJs change after burn in? I just got mine looking for an upgrade from my HD 485s, but out of the box I'm really disappointed. They don't have any more bass than my 485s, which was the main reason I wanted them, and if they don't change at all I'm going to...

Hello.. Well, i recently just got the HD650, and currently am driving them with my udac-2. I know they need more power and was wondering what would be better with the HD650: to get the e7/e9 combo or to get the Schiit asgard and use it with my udac-2

Hey guys! I know this question comes up a lot on this forum, but from my very limited knowledge of amps and DACs some work for certain headphones more than others making this a pretty reasonable question.   So I have an Alessandro MS1i and a Sennheiser HD598 that I've been listening to out...

I'm in the market for a headphone upgrade, (i only own an ad700 and the monoprice mph 839) and looking mostly at getting either a pair of hd600 or hd650 (or something similar in the price range, mid 300's)   they are and will be powered through an e7/e9 combo, although it is not to be...

Hello everyone, I've been lurking around here for a few months, but now I've decided to jump in.   I've had and loved my Klipsch Image S4i IEMs for a year, but I wanted to give full-sized headphones a try while I send them back for a warranty replacement (loose connection).  After much...

Again, just want to thank FiiO for the E10 sample. Note, this is a pre-release E10 sample that has the same hardware as the final version, but the packaging might be slightly different.   FiiO sure is fast this year with one release after another. This time it is the E10, an USB DAC with a...

Hi guys,   I recently became interested in appreciating music as opposed to listening to my Ipod out of the default Apple earbuds.  I've done some reading but still have lots to learn, so please bear with me and pardon my silly questions.   I started out with the AT M-50s after reading...
