That's the E7 - the E9 is for desktop use only

If you want to use an E7 with your iPod you will have to get a Line-Out Dock, which is a cable + plug that takes unamplified analogue signal from the USB port at the bottom of your iPod. Shown below :

I don't really know the difference in quality between LODs, but I've bought a FiiO L1 in anticipation of the E7 coming out ... you can get them for about $10 on eBay.

I was just reading about LODS and think that I will be purchasing one soon, with my amp of course

Unless you know a better/different one.

Thanks for the correction

Will the E7 be better than the BassBooster cMOY amp?

Last question, do you think my headphones need an amp?

Thanks for being very friendly and helpful

Subscribing. I really love my E5, and the E7 is looking great as well. I'm really happy that a company like FiiO exists, I remember years ago when I was building a cmoy musing over how it's an unfulfilled market.

Hey, Should I purchase a Fiio E1 or a Fiio L1 for my 5th gen iPod Video?

I already have a Fiio E5 and understand the E1 is just basically a E5 with built in line out and no bass boost switch. The L1 is just a Fiio branded low profile LOD,


Ipod>L1>E5>RE0

or

Ipod>E1>RE0


?

Not sure which would be more beneficial

Well the benefits of the Ipod>L1>E5>RE0 would be battery life and bass boost.

The benefits of the E1 would be only one item to use and controls.

...and a cleaner sound.

Ok thanks, I'll buy an L1 now and see how that works out, then get an E1 after Christmas when a black one is released (To match the black iPod) and will compare the two then, to see if the extra bass boost is better for me than clearer sound.

Thanks

True, I'd imagine so with only one component.

What will be displayed on the Fiio E7's screen?

I've never seen an amp with a screen before

Few pages back...

besides the flashy display and DAC, can anyone speculate how the E7 will sound in comparison to the Ibasso T3? I'm trying to debate whether to hold off on the T3 and wait for the E7 to come out..:\ I'm looking for a little more power so that it can be at least a bit feasible to power cans instead of strict IEMs... but maybe im getting too greedy from a slim portable amp

 

[ClieOS]

A small update, probably not significant to those of you who are not into capacitor: E7 will use Elna as its coupling caps. Nothing too crazy though, just one of its audio grade bi-polar series.

 

[SteveSatch]

Is the Fiio E1 compatible with the iPod classic?

 

[ClieOS]

Any iPod from 5.5th Gen and beyond should be fine. Don't quote me on these: I read somewhere else the a person actually tested it on 4th gen iPod (not sure the model though) and E1 works fine, but 3rd gen iPod doesn't support the remote.

E1: Price target around US$30 Output power: 120mW THD+Noise: 0.0080% S/N ratio: 100dB Frequency response: 20-40kHz Playtime: Depend on the ipod/iphone Power: Powered by iPod/iPhone E7: Price target around US$80 Output power: 150mW THD+Noise: 0.0060% S/N ratio: 105dB Frequency response: 20-40kHz Playtime: >100hrs (current estimation) Power: Build in Li-ion battery [EDIT] Did I mention that E7 will probably have adjustable bass boost?

Sorry, just read the first few posts. It is really a nice enclosure. I have a question, any one have the chance to make a comparation with E7 and other mainstream decent AMP? if the price target at $80, it will face the fierce competition.
