I'm currently using my Fiio E7, and as headphones JVC-FXZ200.
I think it is worth it to upgrade to the fiio E12 or E17, can anyone give me some opinions on that? 
 
I use my E7 on full bass boost (always), and I don't mind some more boost sometimes. For bass boost, is the e12 or e17 better?
 
thanks

I would go with the E12, however from what I have read. The bass boost on E12 is sutler, but it is present. They are both portable. The
E12 has a processor and power amp build in. But if your looking for a lot of bass go with the E17.

What are you actually trying to do?

Obviously if you want POWER, get fhe E12.

If you want a decent DAC and a less powerful headphone amp, get the E17.
