Hi all, my first post here.
Been lurking around head-fi for quite sometime now and recently heard about the new Fiio E9.
I currently own a pair of PXC 450 (direct line out from early '08 macbook) for home listening
as well as Denon C551 (with iPod nano 1st gen) for my portable rig.
Would like to purchase the Fiio E9 along with E7 (that acts as the USB DAC if i comprehend correctly).
So this will probably be the setup I'll be having.
Macbook (USB) -> E9&E7 -> Senn. PXC 450.
Ipod nano 1st gen -> E7 -> Denon C551
Does the boost in audio performance justify the ~200 USD? (S$280 over here, singapore dollars btw).
Anyway, I'm wondering if the USB DAC is going to work when i hook it up over a USB hub as my poor macbook only has 2 USB ports
.
Thanks all
