Can i use fiio E7 as dac and E12 as amplifier ? does this combination work? (Laptop > E7 (usb) > E12 > Headphone)

Hey All,   I've been a long time lurker of Head-Fi and have made 90% of my headphone buying choices based on what has been discussed here. This is actually the first time I've ever posted, and I apologize if it's a stupid question.   I've recently purchased a Fiio E07k DAC/AMP combo and have...

I want to bypass both the iPhone's amp and the E17's amp.   Goal: From iPhone (bypass amp) > go to the Fiio E17 Alpen as DAC only (bypass amp) > iBasso P4 Warbler amp > headphones.   I thought that using the Fiio L7 attachment to the E17 would help; but I realize that it wants a...

Hi guys, I've been a lurker for a LONG TIME now but better sounding music has been one of the things I've wanted to get into for a long time. My budget is...well it really depends; right now its not much but by December I could probably spend alot more. I just want a starter setup.   To...

  Back in May, I read Steve Guttenberg's article on CNET about putting together an extremely low budget desktop stereo system. The system basically consists of Dayton Audio B652 bookshelf speakers and a Lepai LP-2020A+ amplifier. The article is here:  ...

Just picked up Moprice 8320s after i saw the thread on this website and decided to seek your expert advice on a new system for college to put in my room. The room is about 10X18 and I don't have roommates so no worries about noise :)    I will be using my laptop(Dell XPS 15) and my phone...

Posted in another forum but might help to post here too.   I've been using my Fiio E17 + L7 as my DAC and my E17 just died a week ago. It's going to China for repair so I'm trying to figure out if there' s a cheap alternative that I can buy to have as a DAC sufficient for my Audioengine...

Looking foe some decent speakers just picked up some ultrasone hifi 580s so the head fi slogan is true im now looking for things i dont really need that will make me broke. Please help would like to be able to plug my phone into it also.   Cheers!

I own a Fiio E17.     I also own a pair of Energy RC-Micro 5.1 satellite speakers which were the rears for a 5.1 speaker system.   Here's what I'd like to do.  Please advise whether it might work.   Connect the E17 to my computer.  Then, use an L7 LOD to connect the E17 to the Fiio...

Hi all    can someone tell me what is the purpose of the Fiio L7   "The FiiO L7 is designed to be used with the E7 (E17) USB DAC/AMP, providing a dedicated line-out jack for sending a high quality line-level signal to other devices such as a stereo or amplifier."       I don't...

I'm looking to get away from using the onboard soundcard an my PC and also from the horrible tinny speakers in my laptop. I'm thinking the best route to go would be would be a USB amp/DAC since i would be able to use the DAC to take an output from either my PC or laptop to my amp or use it as a...

Alright, I'm going to offer my brief impression of how the FiiO E17 sounds via the L7 LOD to the E11 Amp.     I've seen at least one person ask how the E17/L7/E11 combo would sound. Here we go...     The E17 alone sounds great. I could have been satisfied with that. It plays low...

Hi,   I just got myself a new Fiio E07k Andes DAC/amp, using it to be used as my SSMH's DAC. Curious down here, why is it not bypassing the computer's volume control, while other DACs do that? Will it compromise the sound quality? I'm using the USB, and using the L7 dock also.   Thanks!
