Finally hooked up my Taishan directly to my HiFiMAN EF2A, and I must say. I think I prefer it to the onboard chip of the EF2A. Less hissy I guess. Just sounds better to my ears.
FiiO's marketing on the D03K says: "using Line Output directly on headphone is not recommended".
Why? Can this damage the headphones? Or are they merely suggesting that for some hungrier heaphones the amp isn't powerful enough?
I've just tested the D03K with a pair of Grado SR225i, and they work just fine. Should I be worried about using the D03K and SR225i for prolonged periods?

Thanks, all. This clears it up for me.
With my set-up (TV with Coaxial Out), plugging in the SR225i into the D03K yields just about desired sound levels...
Will FiiO D3 (D03K) upgrade my sound with my setup: laptop+chromecast audio+this dac+amp+speakers? Basically I want to use the speakers, only ocasionally the headphones pluged yo the Fiio. But again, will this DAC improve the sound quality or it's basically the same thing? The CCA has a decent DAC.
OK...so here is my question (hoping people are still monitoring this post). I have a Samsung UN65JS8500 4K television that connects with a One Connect Mini box (Samsung moved all the inputs/outputs from the back of the TV to a separate external box). Not too long ago I purchased a Sennheiser RS 170 wireless headphone system to help deal with my hearing loss and a wife who is not too happy with how loud I want to listen to my television. The problem is there is no place to plug the transmitter from the Senn into the One Connect Box. So looking at the FiiO D03 to do the job for me. In this scenario I would run a Toslink from the One Connect into the FiiO then the RCA "Y" cord to a female 3.5mm audio cable and ultimately to the back of the Sennheiser transmitter. I have been working on trying to get this thing hooked up for a few weeks now with lots of "failures" with other connection method attempts. Can anyone tell me if my above scenario will do the trick for connecting my Sennheiser RS 170s to my television? Please help...I will appreciate it and my wife certainly will as well. Thanks to all who look...and especially to those of you who weigh in.
Hello guys and sorry for my ignorance but I just bought a Fiio D3 and I am wondering what kind of power supply would be best for it...
It's definitely 5V, but I have 1A, 1.5A and 2A.
What is the one that it needs?
Thanks in advance.
