Fiio amps?

Very intriguing for the price, but looking at the frequency response this is like a hardware EQ with increased volume. I think, the ultimate accessory for the now deprecated Shure E3, which were sorely lacking in any bass response!

I don't really like it. I guess I'm not a bass head.

I prefer the sound of HD600 straight out of a modded X-Fi XtremeMusic (AD8599)

Works well for SE210, definitely increases the bass on the SE210, and fuller overall sound... though the downside is you lose some of the "crisp clarity" of SE210. Also find hissing when no sound playing, but as others said, you wont notice the hiss once audio starts.

Got my Black FiiO E3 now... I have to say it looks heaps better than the white one, but that could just be my personal preference. I missed having the extreme portability the little amp offers with my PK1's

Hi I am planning to use this wit my senn hd 555 and sony walkman a728. Will this make a difference in SQ, I mean Good difference. I dont care about boost in volume as My sony goes pretty loud with my 555's. I just want improve sound quality, though I admit the sound with my walkman and headphones are excellent I want to make it phenomenal. Hoping for replys thanks

do you guys ever get the problem of a interfering sound that kicks in when the fiio picks up an incoming cellphone call?...its the same sound you hear through speakers when an incoming cellphone call is coming....it's getting really annoying....hope the e5 fixes this problem....

I think you'll find it a pleasant surprise. What headphones and source are you using?


Using a MS Zune and my headphones are Super.fi 5 EB

Got the amp but I haven't had a chance to play with it yet. Anything specific I should set the Zune built-in equalizer to?

My E3 has finally been shipped. I ordered this bad boy to use with my RE2s, because the bass sucks. can anyone out there feel or share my pain?

although... the E5 looks a lot more portable with the clip design. I wish they took credit at DE. I would love to put the E5 on a christmas list for someone else to buy me. I mean, its not expensive, but what do I do with 2 of these things?

I just ordered a black sansa clip (my second clip) and thought what the hell- and ordered a black fiio amp as well.

It will be paired with my er4p>s. A nice portable rig.

I tried to emulate the FQ of the fiio amp, based off of the charts posted here, using shibatch EQ on foobar- it didn't sound bad. I don't like taming the highs on the ETY's, but I could learn to like the slightly warmer sound. The perfect amp would only boost anything beyond 80hz no more than 4dbs- leaving everything else alone. (for ETY's)

Real impression to follow when it comes.
