Hi! I just recently started to get into the Hi-fi world after purchasing my first real set of iems, the TF-10's. Once I got these IEM's I started to upgrade all my music to flac/m4a and now I am eager to start upgrading my almost non-existant audio equipment.
After doing some research I knew I needed to upgrade my computer speakers. After reading counless reviews (mosltly on swan speakers) I decided to settle for theSwan M10 Swan M200MKII or the [size=small]Swan D1080MkII08.[/size]
I also knew I needed to get a better soundcard. As I moslty listen to music on my computer, I decided to get the Asus Xonar Essence ST to connect my speakers with but I noticed a small problem here: I also listen to music on my TF10's and I did not want to plug my iem's into the back of my computer everytime I wanted to listen to music on my iem's. I looked into alternatives and found out more about dacs and amps.
I liked what I saw as a dac + amp (Fiio E9 + E7) costs only a little more than the Essence ST. I was wondering if this setup would work with my TF10's and M200 or D1080? Would this be the best possible way to get quality sound for both my speakers and iem's from my computer? Would a setup like this work?
Computer: Apple Lossless > iTunes > FiiO E7 > FiiO E9 > Remolded (Fisher) UE TF.10/Swan M200MKII
Portable: Apple Lossless > iPod Touch 4G > Fiio L3 LOD Cable > FiiO E7 > Remolded (Fisher) UE TF.10
