FiiO E07K ANDES Review and Help Thread

[flognarde]

That's weird FIIO is not getting into the android thing seriously... I think I won't take a chance on this. Will probably look somewhere else . ENCORE MDSD ? The WIFI DAP altrernative is far too expensive for me .

Well I'm sure this is the wrong thread for it but I do know the dragonfly black is compatible with Andriod and it's only slightly more expensive.

It's said it sounds terrible on Android 5.0. No intel on 6.0 possible improvements

Does anyone know if the e07k can take and play inputs from USB and the minijack simultaneously?
 
I'm currently using a Behringer UCA202 at my desktop - it's playing the role of sound card for one PC, and taking analog audio from a second so I can hear both at the same time. I essentially want to know if I can do the same with the e07k

Does anyone know what type of volume control the E07K has? In this review this guy says it is a digitally controlled analog volume control, but wouldn't it need at least 61 resistors just for that?
He is right about it distorting above 45/50, he even advises to limit your volume and use +6dB gain but I find the gain changes the tone/signature/coloration/whatever, sounds different with gain and of course dynamic range suffers a bit.
I've only had mine for 3 days but I only use gain on quiet albums, for everything else 50 volume is enough without gain, I'm using it as dac with a pair of HD 439.
Any thoughts?

Discovered the E07K is available on Amazon UK today (it wasn't yesterday) and have ordered one. I have an E7 atm, so will be interested to see how it compares.

If I connect the USB in via the L7 on my E7 I can't use the amp, only the Line out of the dock. How about the Andes? Thanks.

Also I plan to get one of the desktop amps for my E7 and E07K, either the E9 or the EO9K. I understand that both amps will support the E7 and the E07K or am I wrong?

E07k is compatible with E9 and E09K.

I own an E7 and an E07K and want to buy a compatible desktop amp. Are both the E7 and E07K compatible with the E9 and the E09K? Any caveats? Thank you.
