FiiO E07K ANDES Review and Help Thread
Aug 29, 2013 at 9:03 PM Post #931 of 1,676
Has anyone here used a FiiO E09K with their E07K? I would really love to hear some thoughts on wherher or not it's worth the investment. The impedance range of 16 Ohms - 600 Ohms is very appealing to me, and I think it would be a good fir for my Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO

I have FiiO E07k + E09k combo. Been very happy with it. I use them as stationary desktop system. I have AKG K601 (120ohm). Love the sound & design.

  Whats the difference between aux port and headphone? And if I want to plug in my z623 speakers which should I be using?

Aux is Auxiliary input. 
 
For speakers, you should either use headphone out(any of the two) OR, get the FiiO L7 ($7) so that you get a smooth line out.

Thanks, this is my first dac/amp and I'm glad I got it, everything sounds so much clearer.

Just one thing I noticed while I was testing, sometimes when I plugged in the dac/amp the volume is really low. On the windows playback device list it shows that the device is only receiving a little sound. I have to unplug it then replug it for the volume to go back to normal. Anyone what is going on or how to avoid this?

Keep windows volume at 100%?

Hey,

Really nice review. I have a Sennheiser HD 438, do you think it will benefit with the E07K ? I have been really happy with 438s performance not considering the low bass of this thing, using it since 2 years now, hoping that E07 would make it sound better and give it some more punch.

I don't think pairing HD438 with any headphone amplifier makes any sense. Better sell it, add the money you could spent on E07K and buy better phones.

No hate, just pure realism. 
HD558 should give you more fun with Andes, i upgraded my modded HD555 and the result after comparing it with E07K is satisfying. 
I also powet K702 with this amp. Same result.

What they said. Your headphone is too cheap and of too low quality objectively to even say it would be a good thing to get the ANDES.
