This will not be possible as the E11 has a protection circuit that prevents the E11 from being used while it is charging.

That really is crap.....but as the e11 is supposed to be quite unique in this pricerange (sq/price), i will try to look over those (minor) inconveniences. 
 
If there are any better options available on the market i don't know of, please tell me.

Thank you, Jack. Seems I'll have to look elsewhere, as that single feature is essential for my usage.

Is there any way, to make it possible for the e11 to be charged and used at the same time?


Might not be ideal, but a BL-5B charger can be had for less than $5 on eBay. You'll also need a spare battery of course

Hey what is the difference between this and the E9? They're both amps right? So is it just a more portable one? Will it be better or worse than the E9? Thanks. I'm thinking about getting the e7+e9 combo but if this is a better amp then I don't know.

I would think the better questions will be, do you need an amp? What are your goal for getting an amp?

hi clieos would the e11 be better on low gain or high gain for grado's


E11 always sounds a little bit better for me on high gain.

Between E7 and E11, my recommendation will always got to the E11 unless you need a DAC.. However, I don't see either E7 or E11 to be fun sounding per se. Perhaps something like cmoyBB or SoundMAGIC A10 is more fitting to that description as they tends to add more coloration to the sound. Don't know about the shipping though, you just have to contact a seller for that.


ClieOS,  Sorry for asking you once again :)
 
My budget is sub 100 $. 
I have HD595(50 ohms) and Monster Coppers(20 ohms).
I want an amp(dac not necessary).
Should have bass boost option.
Should not change the FR much unless I use the Bass boost option.
Should not make my coppers hiss
Should be portable, rugged and small.
Which one do you suggest in one word?
 
Thanks a lot.

I should receive my E11 in the next couple of days. When I do, I'll be able to tell you how it sounds between my HD 595 and Cowon J3... if that would be of any use?


Sure, why not? :)
 
Thanks.

I'm probably going to be using it with Sennheiser HD 650 headphones. I am thinking about getting an E7 + E9 combo, but should I get the E7 + E11 or another DAC with an E11? I want to get the most out of them.
 
Basically which is better as an amp for the HD 650 headphones, the E9 amp or the E11 amp?
 
I'm going to guess that the E9 is better but is not as portable which is why people would consider the E11, also because it's cheaper.
 
Thanks.

You should pick the one that is most practical to you first. If you want a desktop rig with USB DAC< then it is the E7+E9 combo. If you want a portable amp, E11.
