Youv read my mind!!

 

 
Definitely the best amp for IEMs I've tried so far. So neutral and so lush and sweet.

I´m (still) on the fence for one myself. So, just out of curiosity: what amps did you try before E12A?

my Picollo sounds really nice with IEMs but can't help wonder how E12A sounds like...my wallet!

I don't mean to counter you but just want to ask.... Could really it be like that? neutral, lush and sweet at the same time?

Have tried C&C BH and JDSLabs C5. E12A puts C&C BH to shame in termos of resolution and layering and treble is much better than C5.

I think the lush and sweet sound comes from the Westone W40, just amplified, so you get a better perception of the sweetness. The amp is indeed neutral.

Thanks!
I've had the C&C BH2 (sold) and now I also have a C5, but that's the (completely different) Cayin one

From Twister6's reviews on both (E12A & C5) I understood they're both great amps with different soundsignatures, E12A being the more neutral one indeed...they should complement each other pretty well though...

Trust my ears. C5's treble is really bad compared to E12A.

Yes, I trust your ears!
 
But: you had a JDSLabs C5, while I have a Cayin C5.
Those are two completely different amps from different manufacturers

i am between those who would rather have a very neutral amp, to let headphones to colors if needed.

JDSLabs is more neutral than Cayin. But E12A has better treble than JDSLabs and it's neutral too. Layering/separation, pretty much the same thing. Excelent.

I was on a hurry to put my hands on E12A, but I hesitate a bit now. Considering... This is the best in FiiO amp, but what will be the best now USB/DAC/ ? E18 are to large to fit my rigs. X1 (event.X3II) W4r. It will be fine for Smartphone certainly but this is not my cup of tea I think! Again, What will be the winner in FiiO USB/DAC category, after pointing the best, E12a Amp ?

Are RSA P-51 Mustang, The Predator... are in the same league as FiiO ? Have you heard about these nice colorfull amps ?



Thanks.

No, sorry...
 
I'm waiting for X3 II. SQ is pretty close to X5.

Ok, yes, E12A best Amp for X3 but, what at your knowledge best in FiiO USB/Dac ?

Thx!

 

[Paulus XII]

Have never tried FiiO USB/DACs.
