Good news and bad news. The good news is that I got my Fiio today. The bad news is that I have no AAA batteries.

Finally i got my FiiO today, my first impression was WOW...
Beside boosting the volume the bass was amazing. I can feel the punchy bass while playing Rihanna "Don't stop the music".

While a good amp isn't cheap, you can experiment with good amplification and LODs via an ordinary reciever or integrated amp.

question for you E3 owners, does the provided interconnect detract form SQ at all? If I made one/bought one/had one made, would I detect enough of a difference to justify the cost? I'll be using the 1st gen I-touch, (waiting for E5 to come out), with 192kbps to 320kbps ripped music on the M-Audio Q40's

yes, but you won't notice if your headphone cable is similarly of bad quality.

depends on the quality of your headphones. probably not a good idea to pay many times more for the IC than the Fiio though, unless you plan on buying better amps in the future.

for me, the degradation in SQ from the included Fiio IC was bad enough for me to stop using it all together with one of my headphones. I made a new IC with some spare Mogami 2893 and it made a very significant difference.

Just got this amp for my krammer modded KSC-75s and they work together very nicely. The bass is slightly boosted and the sound feels much more full. Well worth the cash I spent.

got mine today..listening to it as I type. fiio+akg k518dj+ cowon d2 = audio heaven

not bad for an 8.50 investment.

although does the fiio just makes the sound amplified and bassy? one thing i noticed too is that when my cowon has 2 bars left on the battery and when i plugged in the fiio, i lost the 2 bars making it almost empty and then after restarting it, its back to 2 bars..is it that "surge" that people are talking about here in this thread?

What do you mean "just"? That's exactly what it's designed to do.

Thanks!

Just ordered.

So out of the two white FiiO's that I ordered from DealExtreme a couple of months ago:
1. One was DOA and was replaced free of charge (incl. free shipping). I assume this replacement is still working, I have given it to a friend.
2. The other has been slowly getting weaker in the right channel until now there is no sound coming out of that channel.

However, at $8.50, I've ordered another black one from Deal Extreme, hopefully this one will last a bit longer...

How does it work with a ipod classic and a pair of TF10's?

I'm searching for a little more depth and mids

 

[JD20]

Received both a FiiO AND my K518DJ's today and after connecting them to my iPod Classic I was immediately impressed !! Fantastic !!

If $8.50 can impress me, god only knows how good a D3 / 2Move must be, but I'm not convinced I want to find out
