hi
i read the posts on the e7 and have questions
 
i have the fiio e5 amp and it works well on my sony mdr v-6. i am 43 years old but rather a newbie to audio etc.
 
is the e7 with usb input to be used only with a pc?
do portable mp3 players have a usb out for audio?
if so, what make/model have usb out to use the e7
 
for the e7 using line in, will it sound the same as the e5?
from what i read the jack does not utilize the onboard sound card.
 
thx
al

1, If iPad can be regarded as a portable device!  So iPad is the only one that I know which support USB digital auido ouput!
 
   you can use a Camera kits so ipad can connect to E7 and them E7 will work as a USB/DAC amp!
 
2, For the amp only, Although E7 , E5 use the same headphone amplifier IC ( TPA6130A from TI ), but E7 is AD8692+TPA6130A, and E5 is OPA2338UA+TPA6130A, in fact, the sound is different!
