I think it's setup to do that before bottoming out so actually good for the battery. I thought Clieos said something to that effect but I'm not certain it was him and don't want to misquote.

The protective circuit in the battery will automatically cutoff when the voltage is too low in order to protect the battery from over-draining (which will kill the battery). I don't advice anyone to fully drain the battery every times as you will still run the risk of a run-away battery (the battery overreacts and drains itself even after the protection circuit kicks in). For anyone that hates recharging, just get a spare battery with larger capacitance. A BL-5B charger is also quite cheap.

ok so if the e11 can power the beyer dt770's which version should i get of it 32, 250 or 600ohms?
sorry im kind of a noob at this

 

[islubio]

Normally on my e11 the led will start to flicker and audio will start turning on n off when the batt is low

Great review, ClieOS.
 
Helped me a lot.
 
thanks

so mine came about week ago...
i ordered it for my sflo2 and triple.fi hp - not realy need an amp but i was seeking the improvement in dynamics and soundstage. these are both nicely improved by e11 but i noticed pretty annoying sibilances...
anyone has this onservation too?

 

[goodvibes]

Use High gain for less grain sweeter sound and High power for an warmer sig.

 

[glassmoon]

well this power trigger I have not tried
 
gonna play with it and see...
thx for hint.
 

 

[glassmoon]

unfortunately no change regarding the issue
tried power/gain switches, different sources, even a mystical burn-in (30h+)
still annoying sibilances if e11 plays bit loud - i guess mine is not capable to play loud. i am not saying ridicolously loud just bit louder than normal listening

 

[goodvibes]

I don't know the s-flo but try the headphone out. It's possible that it's own amp is compensating for the sibilance before it. By putting it's own amp back in line, you can determine if the Fiio is the culprit or not. Sibilant is not a normal characteristic of the E11.

I have that exact same setup as your. First of, the treble on headphone-out is a bit roll off at the top by design. The line-out is flat, so you might perceive an increase of treble when using the line-out signal. Second, I didn't notice any sibilance on either headphone-out or line-out + E11. TF10 has a little sibilance on its own, but I fix that with using foam tips.

you said the e11 drives the pk1 and re262 easily, both 150ohms
then can we say it runs the ok1 too?
have you tried it with a higher impedance ear/headphones? if so, what is the maximum?

I don't see why it won't drive OK1. I don't have anything higher than 150ohm in my collection.

It drives with ease my DT880/600 Ohm

ClieOS or anyone else buying spare battery,
 
Wanted to know your opinion of this deal:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110676916334
 
Micca offering a standard battery with charger for $9.95 plus $4.95 s/h. Unfortunately, did know about the free offer until after I got the E-11 from head direct. But then again, no s/h from head direct, just $64.99.
