I have recently bought Beyerdynamic DT880 Premium 600ohm to use for a wide range of things, from videogames to listen to IPod. I already had AKG Q701 and they are perfect except the volume matter, and the Beyers are even worse. I don't want to give some large bucks for the amp or a DAC device if...

Hey guys !   Well me and my brother are musicians and we would like to play some guitar together with our Byredynamics DT990 (2 pairs) Now i have my guitar plugged to an Eleven Rack (Recording interface and guitar processor) and my brother has something simillar then i want both guitars...

deciding on some headphones- i think i might get the DT 880's. i will power them with an ipod and a fiio e7. should i get the 30 or 250 ohm version?

Hello everyone, So my new IEM's are going to arrive soon(Brainwavz B2's) and since my main use of them will be on my desktop computer and that old thing only got his onboard sound card, I would like to purchase an Amp/DAC since this PC can't really handle any of it. I know that the B2's are...

So, I'm new to the Audiophile world, and I don't think it is even fair for me to state that I'm an amateur, but nevertheless, I was curious, as many probably are, about the difference between the Fiio Andes and the Fiio E17. As no thread has been created yet for this topic, I decided to create...

Hi all. I've been plowing through these forums for the last few days and largely as a result of what I've read here and after testing a few headphones bought a pair of Grado SR80i's to play on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Now while I am very pleased with what I am hearing (being a non audiophile...

I don't know if i'm doing something wrong but i kept the thing plugged in on the USB for an hour and it turned on and charged but as soon as i plug it out it says bye bye and turns off . . it says locked when i plug it to the usb and turn it on but start just fine and i can press everything . ...

Hello, I am new on the scene here. A couple months ago I bought a set of Sony MDR-XB500. I really enjoy them, but I have noticed the varying performance on different devices. I am looking for a portable amplifier that will boost bass without sacrificing overall audio quality and improve overall...

Almost three years ago when E7 was introduced, it was one of only two sub-$100 portable amp / DAC options in the market, and it pretty much out-marketed the competition right away. E7 is originally designed to solve the low sound quality issue related to nettop and netbook due to their miniature...

Hi,   I'm a beginner in this field so I thought I'd start with some basic headphone + amp.   I got my HD 598 last year and have been loving it ever since.   I finally got some money to buy amp and DAC and since many recommended fiio to be a entry level amp and dac, I decided to get...

Do those USB audio jacks cause a decrease in sound quality? Does it matter which one I buy, or should I just get the cheapest one?

I'm looking for advice on what amp/dac combo that would work well with Shure SHR840 headphones. I have looked at the FIIO E17 and Ibasso D6, but wanted to see if these work well/safe with these headphones or if there is better options. I will be using them mostly with my Iphone5, Ipod, and a...

I've been reading through the forum and while this question has been asked and answered many times. I couldn't find one that exactly suited me. I do a lot of traveling and I currently have a set of Trumpets that I love dearly. However, I've been having some inflamation in my ear canals, so I...

Hey everyone im new to the world of audiophiles (but i am REALLY into it) and i need some help. For christmas i am getting the Audio Technica ATH M50's, FiiO E7 portable headphone amplifier, and the FiiO L9 line out cable. I also plan to buy the FiiO E9, as it my FiiO E7 will dock with it and...

I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 598s, and a Fiio E7.   A lot of people said they noticed a HUGE difference when they got a Fiio E7. To be honest, I didn't notice much difference at all. I think the amp works fine, since when I change the bass booster, I can hear a difference, but other people...

A FIIO E7.     Sorry I want to get another amp and some hd 600's, but I'm not sure if this will be good with my onboard sound. Should I get an Asus Xonar DG?

Wondering if anyone on here has gotten their hands on the Nokia Lumia 920 and can give any feedback on how it sounds. The international version should be the same as the US version for once.

Ok after some research and answers from some users that i want to thank like kitaki and DanBra and others, i've come up with the new setup:   1_Galaxy S2 with poweramp or voodoo hack >> FiiO e7 amp >> AKG K450 2_Laptop or DeskPC >> FiiO e7 dac >> AKG K450   I'll buy the E7 and the...

I just wanted to share my opinion about these 5 headphones - all around 75-150 bucks except for the beats. I personally own or tried out all of them and I have to say by far the best bass headphones out of all of them are the Vmoda crossfade lps. The bass is crisp and undistorted unlike what I...

So I was listening to some music on my sennheisers and as I turned my head the Fiio E9 dock fell off my table. This has happened a few times, but this is the first time the dock had actually broken. For people who are unfamiliar with how the fiio e9 works, the fiio e7 (a portable amp) fits into...

I ordered an E9 from amazon, but received an E9K.    Fiio says the E9K is only compatible with the E17, but is that really the case? Or is it just a marketing ploy?  I'd return it if they're really incompatible, but I was really looking forward to using the new amp/dac combo this weekend =/

Christmas is coming, and the one thing I really want to treat myself with is an upgrade of dac from the one in my computer. My budget is of $200, and I've narrowed my optiones to the Audioengine D1, Maverick Audio D1 nad the fiio e7 plus e9   I mainly care about the DAC part, the amp being...

I am looking for a portable amp/dac that plays nice with a samsung galaxy sIII and also for use with a laptop. I would like the folowing: 24/96 usb input ability to use IEM's at 20 ohms, therefore output impedance of 3 ohms or less, preferably 2 or less can run off internal battery...

Hi Guys !    So i just had my M50s alongside with my Sansa Clip + and i have been playing FLAC audio files for almost 5 days already . Sound quality is great ! But i have 1 quest . I think the M50s Bass , is not that "bassy" enough for me . Im looking for a Deeper and more richer in bass for...
