Does everyone experience hiss in the sound?
edit: does it work well with the koss portapro?

About 2 weeks ago I lend my e7 to my brother because I noticed some distortion on the low end a very subtle hiss when the bass drum or bass guitar reached some deepness. I asked him to see if he could detect it. He owns a pair of entry level sennheiser and didnt noticed it.
Yesterday I got it back and made an intensive A B test with my macbook pro as source and its built in output. I noticed a better edge in the sound (not a huge change but noticeable) when the e7 is used, but I also got that small distortion, I switched to the built in output and the distortion is not present. Im using 32ohms DT990s with flat eq and no bass boost on the e7. I was planning to make a bit more tests with it tonight but I forgot it in the office
I dont know if someone experienced this small distortion? I havent got any other headphone amp to compare, but I hope I get one soon.
Hi all...first post here, so hello to you all.
Yesterday I took delivery of the E7 and E9, and I'm mighty impressed with the combo.
However, the E7 when used on its own has an annoying fault in the unit I received. The quality of the output jacks on the E7 is not so great. I plugged in my Etymotic HF3s into the unit last night to try it out for the first time and the connection in both jacks is poor. The sound was really muffled/distorted at first. When I swivelled the earbud jack around in the socket a little, it went away and the quality was great, but you've got to keep the connection in the same position or the sound deteriorates markedly...very quiet vocals and massive noise across the rest of the sound. Kind of like if you reverse the phase of one stereo channel so it's the same as the other....frequencies drop out completely and the signal messes up completely.
A little disappointing, considering the otherwise excellent performance of the device.
I'm hoping this sorts itself out as I move to Qatar in one week and won't therefore be able to return the unit to the supplier and get a new one back before I leave the UK.
Anyone else had this problem?
I have the M50's and I'm looking into getting the FiiO E7, I'm just wondering if it'll be worth it. I would just be listening to music on my laptop.
