FiiO E11K &A3 Portable Amplifier Info/News Thread (Early Impressions)

I haven't heard the finalized X1 (should be here tomorrow), but as far as the prototype X1 and E11K goes,they are indeed match made in heaven. I'll say the combo even rival a standalone X3 without a problem (then again, you can add an E11K to X3 as well, so...)


Good to hear, eagerly waiting for the X1 to be launched :)

so i was looking at the "Frequency Response diagram of curves" provided by fiio on the product page, and it looks like this:

 
im assuming that the blue line indicates the FR when the bass boost is on? meaning a +4 dB boost, centered around ~60 Hz?

Is the e11k 'pair-able' w/ the e12k? I already own the e12k but would like a dac to replace my ipod (low end theory purposes) + added bass.
 
Strictly in terms of bass, does the e11k punch harder than the e07k?
 
Disregard.

The E11K is an amplifier like the E12, it's not a DAC...

I just received my E11k today. Tried it with my iPhone 4s and iPod classic and Sennheiser HD25-1-II headphones. Sounds amazing!

have anyone tried the x3+e11k combo..??
I plan to when my E11K arrives, but the Colorfly C3 is the targeted DAP for that amp.

yes, according to some feedback, especially we found lots of people just use our amp to drive the sensitive IEM, which may cause some hiss and them they may complain it . and to people who need higher output they can still choose the high gain.

 
Yeah, that's exactly what I am looking for - quiet when wanted and output when needed.  Ordered mine this morning.
 
Love my E11 and looking forward to listening to the E11K

  At low gain with all my usual (C)IEMs it hisses. I don't recommend it for sensitive IEMs at all.

 
Your CIEM must be really sensitive. I don't hear much hiss on E11K + SE530 myself, and it is the most hiss prone in my collection of IEM.
