Is it possible to connect a DS which has only a 3.5mm audi jack to the Fiio e9k/e17   or do i have to use the e17 standalone?
 
I use a Dt 880 ( 600 ohm).

Cool down Bombaman.  I guess no one tried to connect a DS in such a way.  For one, I never thought about such.  Well.. I don't even have a DS anyway.

Does not need to be neccessary a Ds. i am talking about if youc can hook up the Fiio e9k/e17 to any device that only offers a 3.5mm jack.

Get a RCA to jack and connect it through line-in

 

[Bombaman]

Sry, but i am not sure which cables i need to buy and how to connect then. Could you explain it to me a little more in detail^^.
 
Also, If i connect it trough line in, is not the e17 bypassed since i am not using any  connections on that, if you know what i mean.

 

[davidsh]

Yes, the e17 is bypassed. It will always be when you use a jack.

So, i plug those in my e9k Line out.
 
I need also this cable http://cdn.head-fi.org/c/c4/c41bbe46_d_2009-10-14-13-7-16f_3_5mm-audio-extender-male-to-male-1.jpg , which i plug on the RCA Jack and finally in my Ds.
 
Is that correct?
 

 

[davidsh]

Or something like that. You plug it in the line-in, not out.

 

[Bombaman]

Alright, thank you.
 
Now, i hooked up my e17 + Dt 880 ( 600 ohm) with my PSP and they got pretty loud.
 
I am curious if it would be better to use the e17 since it is an DAC and may be better than the PSP/DS DAC?
What do you guys think? 
If it gets loud enough, there should not be reason to hook it up to the e9k and buy an additional cable or?

 

[davidsh]

How did you connect the DS to the e17?

 

[Bombaman]

To be honest i have no Ds, I ordered one which should arrive by tmorrow.
 
But either way, the Headphone Jack on the PSP/DS is identical.
 
I just connected my e17 with the PSP via a 3.5mm audio cable Male/Male.
