FiiO X7 | DXD | DSD | 384K/64B | ESS9018+ Android | WiFi | Bluetooth | 4 AMP modules | Balanced Out |

[RedJohn456]

  I heard balanced is better, but i can't see it making that big of a difference if the dac section of fiio x7 crushes it. I'm just worried if the 500W module or the balanced amp will be able to power the he-560s. I have 1964 v6s's but the treble extension just can't compare to he-560. 

I am getting the Mojo as well, as part of the canadian tour so I will have the Geek Out V2, FiiO X7 and Chord Mojo in the house.

Okay, I'm intrigued... Let's see why this hype train leads

Mojo baby!!!




It'll be interesting to know your thoughts between the Mojo and the X7.

  Do try the app HibyMusic. Like the FiiO music app, it can bypass the Android SRC restrictions. It should be on the Whitelist app in the X7. The blue design with the musical notation, that would be the app to download.

 
Thanks, I share your enthusiasm for the X7.  For an amp tailored to IEMs, I was surprised how well it drives a variety of full on cans.

Can the MediaMonkey for Android be installed? Their latest update solved some major issues!

Likewise, I was surprised as well. Particularly in how well it drove both the VE Zen (320 ohm earbud but I suspect the Zen might need a tad bit more power to sound its very best ) and Havi B3 Pro 1 (32 ohm impedance but sensitivity of 115dB/mW - hard to drive it well, something the X7 is doing effortlessly)

According to the app whitelist I unpacked from an update zip earlier, it doesn't seem to be installable. However, I doubt it will be long until someone mods an update zip and allows basically any app to be installed.

I have a bad feeling about that..... in that I might get the urge to purchase the mojo as well 

 
Oh well #YOLO

Sheesh.. You might as well get the Grace Design mx99 to make the list complete!

Y​ou're going to go deep down the rabbit hole if you're not careful. You may need an audio safe word if you get in over your head there buddy!

What do you mean? I don't get it lol. You mean buying the mojo as well? I wouldn't buy it without selling off some gear like the Sony XBA Z5 and GO V2 which would pay for the mojo easily But yeah it was more tongue in cheek than anything else

the mojo is only a tour unit haha. 
 
The Grace Design mx99 looks okay, but it looks like it doesn't have gain options so it won't drive full size cans as easily.

Well I stand corrected, it has the two different power modes. Looks great for a desktop unit

This is interesting. I notice the power peaks at 50ohm on low power (which makes sense with a 47.5 output impedance), however it peaks at 20ohm on high power. Is this normal?

Edit: Sorry, i misread, the headphone output is 0.08ohm.
