Recently purchased a Denon AH-D2000. Paired it with FiiO E7. Sounds appear to be more towards left can, making it sound unbalanced. What do you think of this issue ? Should I contact manufacturer to look into that ?

Hi. Let me start my saying the old cliche, long time reader, first time poster.   I've come into a bit of bonus money, and I'm looking to upgrade my phones. My current bundle are a pair of sennheiser 558's with a fiio e7.   I'm thinking about a pair of AKG q701 (really like the white...

It has been an interesting journey for me to get to the Beyerdynamic DT 880 premiums. I've been trying to update my headphone/portables setups. On the move, I've been using the Etymotics HF3s. They sound great. I've ruined them a few times with sweat, so I picked up a pair of sennheiser in-ears...

Hellooooo Head-Fi.   I'm looking for an AMP/DAC/Sound Card for my Sennheiser HD598s. By no means I am a audiophile but I've had my HD598s and ASUS Xonar DG sound card for a while now.   I'm looking for a way to improve sound quality in any way. My budget is $150-200 AUD.   My options...

Just for general use in my computer and listening to my ipod with a fiio e7. Which one would satisfy my needs of good sound and comfort with this small amp?????

ive been searching for the answer but i can't seem to find it, so the question is obviously: E7 OR E17, or a better portable dac/amp. Anything under 150$ in my case, round 100 pounds (it will be used with the Audio Technica ATH-M50).

Hey there everyone..i recently purchased a shiit valhalla headphone amp.. at the moment im using a Fiio E7 dac as my out put from the PC.. would i be able to connect the E7 to the valhalla using a cable splitter ?? .im pretty new to high end audio and tube amps...this is my first tube amp...

Hi there,   I've had some trouble with the soundcard in my laptop (windows 7), and now the jack outpout won't deliver any sound. But the sound was pretty average anyway, and needed to be changed, so I did some research on possible solutions. This is what I've come up with:   Both Amp and...

Hi, I am looking for some amp options for audio technical ATH-AD300. Is there any such option available under or around $60 . I don't know what all improvement an amp can make to the existing sound. My best guess is that it should make the bass more prominent, a bit more high if possible and...

Hi guys. I have a Samson sr850 and a fostex t50rp that I listen to land love. Many people recommend I buy a dac/amp to up my listening experience. In the past few weeks I've been reading a lot about fiio e7, e10, e17's but before I bite the bullet and buy one of those I was wondering what you...

Recently bought the V-Moda crossfade M80's to use with an Ipad2 and looking to improve the sound further if I can for a small budget.   The Ipad is streaming Flac files from a Windows Home Server 2011 running Logitech Media Server and the Ipeng app.   Thinking of purchasing a Fiio E7 and...

I'm trying to compile a list of available portable DAC+amp devices to see which of them would best suit me and my needs. Right now my only real criteria is < $300; I know there are some well-loved DAC+amps out there but I just can't spend $400+ on an Emmeline kit. Here's what I have right now...

I recently upgraded my computer to a retina macbook pro. As unfortunate as a choice that it was, the designers of the computer neglected to include a 3.5 mini audio in port on the device, only audio out. I have been trying to digitize some of my records and I need an audio in. I have been trying...

As above, Am replacing my soundcard (essence st) with an external solution since my new motherboard doesn't have any pci slots (and because I'm thinking of going mitx in the future) Picked up an E7 last week intending on getting an E9 to go with it, however prices in the UK are higher than I...

I know this is covered in other threads, but it is so buried that I'm going to make a thread dedicated to it Anyway, so you just bought a Nexus 7, congratulations, you actually got a device that will make your ears happy.  There is one caveat though, you do need to do a bit of work to get it...

I have been enjoying my FIIO E7 iPod combination for quite some time now, but my older iPod classic has been on the fritz and the battery is on its last leg.     As a result of my iPods slow demise, I have been anxiously awaiting the newly announced iPod nano.    However, as part of the...

HI Everyone, This is my first thread in head-fi, I enjoy listening to music extensively. I have a HM5 and sony in ear monitors. I will go mid range headphone soon but haven't unleashed the full power of my HM5's yet. I will listen music from galaxy s2 320kbps files using poweramp or nrg player...

I am a music fan far more than a head-fi expert and have been happy with  my current set up of foobar>FiioE7>Beyer DT770.   Now I have a little ambition to start making my own music int he future and am researching audio interfaces, active monitor, midi interfaces etc and have hit a point...

I've been running the same setup for around 2 years and suddenly after restarting my computer I'm having an issue. My setup is Computer USB port->fiio e7->Hifiman HE-300. I've tried several USB ports to make sure thats not the issue and plugged in the hifiman to the direct headphone port to...

After uprading to Mountain Lion's 10.8.2 build (from 10.8.1) I've found that my E7 just isn't recognised anywhere. It doesn't appear as a USB device and it isn't present as a sound output in System Preferences.  Does anybody have any ideas as to what could be causing the issue?

So, for about a year now I've been using my e7/e9 combo with my hd650's, and I decided I wanted some speakers just for some general listening or ambient background music whilst I'm doing other things (or just don't feel like wearing headphones.) So I did a bit of research and decided I'd buy a...

Hello guys, I'm a new member to this forum. I ran into some trouble recently. I've purchased a second hand E7 DAC about a month or two ago, it looked new and sounded fantastic, I've also purchased an Onkyo TX-4500MKII receiver and used the DAC as source. Before I could fully enjoy this set up, I...

So I want to upgrade my desktop Amp/Dac combo (Fiio E9 & E7) and I'd like the Head-fi community to help me with my decision   Shopping around, these two are the ones caught my attention: Audinst Hud mx-1 and Maverick Audio's Tubemagic D1. They both have great reviews here, good...

I love my Pro 900s (only at about 20 hours now)! I've been thinking about getting an amp after they've had 300-400 hrs. I currently have a Fiio E7 I run directly out of my MacBook Pro. Is there a better option (full-size or portable) for the Pro 900? Not really on a budjet (I'll sell some...

Hey guys,    I'm new here and if there's a separate recommendations thread/forum and i'm being an ******* by posting this here, seriously sorry.    Anyway, I have a fiio e7/e9 combo im using to power my Ultrasone Pro900s. I listen almost exclusively to electronic music (trance, house...
