this thing is so damn frustrating. cant listen to youtube music even on 1080p videos. theres just constant noise and static clicks.
 
pretty useless if i have to plug my headphones into the computer for everything, and then when i wanna listen to music through foobar i have to plug it into the 10.

My Main rig (DACMagic + M-stage) sounds a bit darker with heavier bass and bigger soundstage. Maybe the FIIO E10 lacks some refinement but it is not burnt yet (<2 hours usage). It looks good for a portable alternative with my laptop.

How does it compare to your main rig? Does your HD800 sound just as good?

Thanks for that. It'd be interesting to hear your opinion after enough burn-in.
 
I find it hard to pull the trigger on E10 when Voldemort hasn't measured E10 for us yet.

I would really like one of these would the HFI 580's benefit from this?

I recently received my e10. Love it but I was wondering if other e10 owners are experiencing a sort of loose 3.5mm jack. Like, I can easily wiggle the headphone jack around while its plugged into the e10. Dunno if mine is defective or if that's how they all are. Thanks in advance ^^

May I ask what headphone have you been using?

Mine is sort of wiggly.  But the audio isn't affected.

is defective. If you lose audio channels when moving it, exchange it for a new one.
 
My first E10 had a problem with the plug, the 2nd didn't (so far)

I don't know that it's defective.  I think it could just be normal play in the jack.  If your channels are messed up, then it may be defective.

May I ask how quality of E10 + E9 and AKG Q701 are?

Sure. I think they do pretty good with the Q701 for the price.  Enough to get them up and running.  A nice improvement over the sound care for sure.  Both certainly have enough power/volume for the Q701, but I haven't heard anything else to compare their quality with. 

I'll have an HRT Music Streamer II and a Matrix M-Stage in the next couple weeks, so I'll have to compare them. 
 
For the price, I think the E10 is a very nice little box.

I just changed out the USB cable I was using with the E10--sounds a TON better. Definitely worth the investment!

The USB cable is transmitting a digital signal. No USB cable is going to change the way the unit sounds.

Very interested in this comparison! First E10 to M-Stage to hear how much a bigger amp does, and then swapping E10 for the Music Streamer to hear how much the dac does. Pretty please?? Do you mean after christmas or before?

Anyone else have similar comparisons?

Ya, I will compare them.  The M-stage is getting here either late this week or the week after.  The Music Streamer won't get here until Christmas (waiting for "Santa" to bring it

).
