as for me, it'd be 80-90% of the clip+ high volume when connected to the e11 for the pk1 use. may be similar for the re262
what is that 150x2ohm ??
Uhm, I don't mean that they need more power, but that I'm quite disappointed because I expected more
For example, with my fuze V1 rockboxed and my re262 the gain in volume is acceptable but not so significant. If you have a colorfly, surely more powerful than my poor sansa, It's obvious that the output will be more efficient
About the clip, a bit more efficient than the fuze, what volume do you set on the player? This is much important, I did my test at -6. I will run the same test with my clip+ soon

I'm a little bit confused here. You are disappointed because of gain (i.e. resulting volume) of E11+262 or its sound quality? If the latter is obviously a subject to one's own taste and preference - though I do like E11 signature and EQ - the volume is simply more that enough for 262 and, I presume, some high impedance cans as well. I have a rockboxed clip and set the volume at 0 dB. General rule seems to be that you need to set maximum non-clipping volume on your DAP (if it has no dedicated line-out) and then adjust the rest via amp. I do not know what is the true maximum volume of rockboxed clip and 0 dB was just a guess. Btw, I was using high voltage and low(!) gain mode and it was still nearly impossible to listen at volumes beyond 4. Could it be that your audio files have low volume themselves? Some of vinyl rips I tried were very quiet and needed a ton of boosting - but these are rare cases.
That's weird it should drive ur beyer fine. Is your fuze using a lineout? anyway u the fiio e11 will run out of juice b4 the clip or fuze, so i think u should be that concern with the battery life of the clip/fuze, my fuze run easily over 24hrs using lineout. I m thinking that u have set the power on your players way too low hence the low volume when used with e11.
Well, is there a considerable difference in battery life of fuze/clip between -6 and 0 dB when amped? Never really tested myself
How does this amp compare to fiio e7, ibasso d2+, and Little Dot i+?
(If all were same price, which would be the best to buy?)
Of all three, the E11 is the worst buy, even at its cheaper price. If all three are the same price, the E11 isn't even in the running. Its only distinguishing feature is the oodles of power it has. Other than that, it is clearly the worst sounding of the three.
