Hi i am interested in any ideas (from personal experience) as to the iem with the most synergy to the fiio x5/e12 - i like lush but detailed sound with good rhythmic drive and much of the material i listen to is older and not exactly recorded to audiophile standards ranging form 1920's...

So I just got the new FiiO X5 and I reallly love this player! I feel like im not getting all out of it though with just my Klipsch X7i's. I want to upgrade and get a good IEM that pairs well with the FiiO X5. Im not to sure how to search for this so this is why I am making a post here. Hopefully...

I recently bought Fiio x5 and Fiio E12.. I need a pair of iems to go with them. After reading tons of reviews I found these: -ETYMOTIC ER4PT or ER4S (Dunno the difference smt with frequency I suppose) (290 USD) -Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 pro or classic (300 USD) -DUNU DN-1000 (200 USD) -UE...

...returning home after a long and hard working day you quickly rush to the shrine and ...there it is... your favourite toy...errrr... or second favourite, or whatever...   Anyway... your set-up is more than just about listening music? It is passion for design, fine mechanics, precision...

As the topic suggests, I have a pair of JH Roxanne's that I am currently using in conjunction with a Iphone5...I am a subscriber to Beats audio app and love it (this is similar to lose less music, correct?) and am looking to upgrade my dap to bring out the perfectness of the Roxanne's I'm not a...

Taken a look around and suspect I may be more or less at a brick wall. I have a Fiio X5 and Momentums. Love the sound but, in the nature of these things can't help wondering if there is even more to be got from the Fiio. Maybe I'm spoilt but there are a few things I imagine could be better.  ...

Round 1: Anakchan kindly lent me some of his gear and I already have a couple of great DAPs on hand, so I thought I'd do an ongoing shoot-out between them. Anakchan lent me: HiFiMAN HM-901 with balanced card. Sony ZX-1. Getting music on to this will be interesting, but I'll figure it...

Hi, I bought a fiio x5 and am very pleased with it, my question relates to iems.   Does anyone have experience of the hifiman re400 with the x5 and can discuss synergy, I am wondering whether to buy the re400 to use in conjunction or are they nothing like as good as the se530/535 and it would...

I'd like to start off my first post by saying. I love music and I love playing games with friends. I'm a student who has been off school for quite sometime and now working full-time. I'll usually be taking the bus to work so I can definitely get my daily dose of music in  with whatever...

I am currently using this http://www.amazon.com/Sony-NWZS545-Walkman-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B002IPHA1W I know, shameful. But don't worry, I also own a Cowon Z2. I have my eye on the Fiio X3 and X5 BUT I can't upgrade to something that will be "useless" (I don't know it's full features...

Which combo would be better suited for iems? Don't necessary require a lot of power.   My main priorities is to have no background noise/hiss at any volume, channel unbalance (at low volume) or IF interference when outdoor.    I already own the Fiio E11 and using it with a L9 LOD to my ipod...

Hello All     This is my fist post, I was a long time COWON user, I ended up breaking up with COWON because most of my MUSIC LIBRARY is tagged in Hebrew/Arabic Text. COWON did not support displaying these languages properly, I was wondering if the FIIO players can display these languages?  ...

Hey Head-Fi,   I'm looking for a quality media player to replace the iPhone 3G. I have the Sony MDR-7506 headphones which are ideal for my monitoring needs, and that I double for music listening. The community so far has been awesome in helping me, and informed me lots. That being said, I'll...

Hello can anyone link me to a reliable website where I can purchase the Fiio x5?? I live in California thanks everyone!!

Hi, I am looking for a portable MP3 player, and I won't find myself moving to any other format any time soon, since rarely the music I'm listening to is available in other formats than MP3. So I'm stuck with MP3...   Anyway, I am wondering if it would be worth getting Fiio X5, It's quite...

Right now I'm running PC (FLAC) to Music Streamer II to Yamaha Ax-596 to BW-602 speakers. However I'm thinking of getting a more portable setup, skipping the amp all together and going with smaller active speakers. I might sell that stuff, buy a Fiio X5 (DAC feature) when it becomes available...

I currently have a 160GB iPod 7th Generation with a FiiO E11 portable amplifier and was thinking of replacing them with a FiiO X5. Is there a big difference in sound quality between the two and is it worth upgrading?

Hey guys, I preordered the new FIIO X5 DAP that comes out next month and I was wondering if it's worth pairing it with my FIIO E12 portable amp. Or should I ditch the E12 and use the headphone out port and internal DAC directly? Thanks!
