But this is only amplificator ? no DAC ?
But this is only amplificator ? no DAC ?
In one setup I use a FIIO X3 as DAC+Player, strapped over a FIIO E12 as amp.
I bought the X3 more as player than DAC actually, but I find myself mostly listening Spotify these days, and I like the X3 DAC a lot.
I am using the X1. Wish I had kicked out the $ for the X3 or X5, but the E12 is rocking the X1 just fine.
I am using the E12 with the DT880 250 Ohm. The E12 is at no more than 40% volume, when connected with the DT880.
PLENTY of power.
Hi,
For ~100€, do you think I must go for a X1 or a E12 paired with my Cowon D2+ ?
I have a Beyerdynamic DT880 250Ω (my cowon can't handle it), a sennheiser PX100-II and Jays S-jays.
Later, I think I will sell the device (X1 or E12) and buy a X3II.
X3 user here. Currently using a Cayin C5 on trial basis but also awaiting delivery of a used E12 v1. My only complaint on the C5 is that the bass boost is more than my HD600's need on most recordings (but not all). Also thinking about having a current production E12 sent over to be part of the Great Bass Boost Shootout 2015. Thoughts?
+1. My v.1 E12 has served me well for the past 2 years. It can power every can I throw at it. I am interested to see how it stacks up to the C5.I have the E12v1, so I'm for sure interested in the comparison with the C5 (and the production E12 if you can get it).
