Hello
i'm currently owning a Cowon C2 and a Fiio E11 which I plug into my ATH-M50,it sound quite good.
but i'm about to buy the BeyerDynamic T5p which is a more serious headphone and my question is if it worth buying Sansa Fuze + LOD cable and plug it to my Fiio E11 OR just use "Double Amping" on my C2.
 
Thank You Very Much.

Probably omerbu1 you have already solved your doubt long time ago... right?
 
Actually, I wonder  Cowon C2 + Fiio E11 (Cost ~ $250USD) --> output to BeyerDynamic T5p (Cost ~ > $1200+ USD),
The C2 + E11 is surely and truly enjoyable to listen ( I have the same set ),
 
But compared to my Colorfly C4  or  Philips SACD player --> Nuforce HDP    With Shure SRH1840.
Immediately, I feel that every aspect of the audio quality / performance has ~ 50%+ difference.
Potential of SRH 1840 is thus revealed much more certainly.
 
 
Basically, I don't think E11 is powerful enough, and C2's limit is revealed totally...thought both are good stuff of high C/P ration

I've actually replaced my C2 with iPod Classic 160GB, and bought a Beyerdnamic T70p instead of the T5p.
 
So my actually setup now is: iPod Classic 160GB----->Fiio L9---->Fiio E11------>Beyerdynamic T70p
 
but thanks for the replay.

You are welcome, I also replaced my Cowon C2 recently.
 
because the C2 --> every 1.5 weeks or so, it shows "Failed to load source" error.
I used the 1.17 firmware and such error happened for more than 10 times since I bought it.
 
Dun wanna waste time on keep Flashing the Firmware again and again...What a Bummer when I take out the C2 while commuting and I cannot play music again...
 
 
Now I got myself the Hifiman HM 601 + a second hand Corda Stepdance Amp + V-moda M80 / Westone UM3XRC.
 
 
Feel sorry for C2, it is a gem...cute, small, good sound...but defective...   :frowning2:
