Any Aussie guys i also ordered through SoundSightFocus on ebay and they are a fantastic ebayer. i Think they have 5 left so be quick Aussies
Basically it sets the strength of the output noise signal. Low gain has a less powerful (quieter) signal, while high gain is louder.
Low gain is intended for IEMs, where less volume output is required. When using external cans people generally want the signal a bit louder, so the high gain setting allows that.
While you could use the high gain setting in IEMs, it would be inadvisable to do so. You'd risk damaging your ears and the quality of the sound would suffer as IEMs aren't designed to be as loud.
Hope that helps.

So after 5 hours of listening to the Fiio E17,
I feel....underwhelmed. Maybe just being a new at all this audiophile stuff, It just can't justify the price tag for me at the moment. Using a Dt770 80ohm. Connected through the optical cable.
The sound is clearer, not super noticeably but its there by a very small amount to me. Maybe I just expected too much at the moment. Going to hold onto it and see what else it can do.

Yes, but I have beyerdynamic dt770 250 OHM and I can listen to it with 0db gain and about 30 - 40 volume or 6db with lower volume. They are definatly not IEMs. I'm not sure how loud you guys listen to your music! I think it might be better to listen on 0db gain with higher volume but It could make no difference.
I have the exact same setup as you. I started out with some really busy songs at a high bitrate, with a lot of more exotic instruments and noticed it right away. Afterwards the change wasn't so pronounced but it was certainly still there.
Any song recommendations? I've been listening to Michael Buble, Adele, Modern Jazz Quartet, The Strokes...Pretty much just everything that I can (Except metal)
I know I won't get rid of it, but help me get rid of buyer's remorse haha
