Schiit i'm using the one with fermites I have

The original didn't come with it
 
Using it doesn't matter. Fermite should help with EMI and Jitter anyway. Only problem is that those weight more and so it can swing the unit more. I had a problem with the E17 where my opt cable would literally swing the unit around as it was 3/4 of an inch thick

what music player are you using?
it would be best. But not required. It removes jitter and helps with EMI. 
 
What cable though. Power and USB cable? It would be best to have fermite. I don't think terrible stuff will happen. But of course it is all at your own risk. Everything is. 

So far I tried vlc media player, and windows media player (whichever version comes with win 8 x64). On my desktop it is win 7 x64 which I have not tried yet.

Doesn't matter. Both are very similar. Heavy cables swing them around.

So today I bought the E07K instead of the E12 just because it'll look pretty stacked next to my iPod video.  I didn't expect much and thought I would have to max out the bass to get the bass quantity I want. I was surprised when the E07K was able to power my L1 so easily. Now I can sit back and wait for reviews before buying my next amp (C5). 
My next amp will either be the JDS Lab C5 or the Headstage Arrow 12HE 4G.

Tried gaming with the eo7k, in Deus Ex Human Revolution, there is a stutter on animated scenes.. I'll try to make a video of it.

I hooked up the e07k to my desktop and it was beautiful stutter free, as well as no stutter in deus ex human revolution. Which leads me to believe it has something to do with my laptop, or windows 8. As my desktop is windows 7.

Has anyone compared the E07K to a good PC soundcard like the ASUS Xonar Essence STX?
 
I'm wondering what to expect.
 
I have an Andes on order so I will compare it to my Auzentech Forte driving my HE-400's.

 
So i've been using the E07K for about a week now instead of my Auzentech Forte soundcard.
 
I think it is slightly different though just as good. Which is fantastic since the soundcard cost twice the price.
 
It is a warmer sound, not as bright. Gives a feeling of more musicality at the expense of detail.

Really weird, I have two MicroUSB cables, one of which IDK where it came from since I haven't had a microUSB device in a while, but the E07K will only work with one of them. I'm guessing the one it came with, I can't remember which one came with it so I'm just assuming lol. Plugging in one cable with the E07K it won't show up on my computer, plug in the other one and instantly shows up. Kinda weird.

This has probably already been answered but I could find it...
 
I have the e09 and e07k. When docked will I still be able to use the hardware EQ in the Andes? Just switch on the lo-bypass? 
 
thanks...

Yep. Same thing as alpen
