Just an MS-1 but it is totally transformed with the E12.

Did you look up the ms-1000 mod?

There isnt a need for a $120 amp for those headphones. They are meant for easy driing and portable dj ing

i see, thanks allot for your reply.
Anyway, does that mean that the e12 do enhance the sound but it is too much for my Crossfade LP?
Or it just do nothing to the headphone?
sorry for my noobiness, i am really new here.

It will enhance it usually yes.
 
No. What I am saying is, is that it is generally pointless to add new rims, up the suspension, pimp out the windows, and tint out everything on a 2001 Volkswagon Beetle.
 
The amp is essentially those modifications, but using these 'upgrades' for an LP isn't exactly the best of ideas.

At this range. $200 headphones and a $100 amp/DAC is ususally the best priced combo's.
 
The E12 is just an amp. So it doesn't have DAC functions

It should. 
 
My friend and other users with the HE500 have said it is not that hard to drive
 
The E12 drove the LCD-3's extremely easilly at 12dB gain.

Question, would the e12 greatly improve sq and or benefit my cowon d3?  i went it to power my re262s.

Are the RE262's not loud enough? I believe a Cowon DAP should produce enough power for IEMs from Hifiman.

So if it should drive the he500, it should run the 400s a little better? I really want a nice affordable amp for when I'm not home.

I'm basing this off of what I know about driveability of those Hifiman's and technical the E12 should drive them as many said even the E17 could.

Power is not the issue here if that is the case. The 'quality' of the sound you want and are looking for would ultimately be.
 
So yes, the E12 is a nice affordable amp with the power. But ultimately its up to what you want to pay for the sound quality.
