This rocks



Sony F806
Fiio interconnect

Sounds heavenly


bye bye Fiio X5+E12
 
Hello sony Zx2 + Aune B1
 

 


Why guys are you using simple "interconnect" on the HO with your Sony DAP ? This could be really better on the LO with specific Sony LOD like this :

Fiio L5

LO is really better and clean to amp than HO !!

Don't think it makes much of a difference with the ZX2. I have the ZX2 connected to the Fostex HP-V1 (tube amp) and wouldn't say that, soundwise, the Fiio cable is superior to a 3,5mm to 3,5mm cable. The sound is different and I prefer the Fiio cable, but this should be down to one's preference in the end. But I'd totally agree with you if we were talking about smartphones, in which case you should try to avoid the internal amplification circuit if possible.

The LO is always better to amplify than the HO because... It's what it was created for ! And an amplifier was created to amplify a signal from a LO, not a HO. In term of intensity and voltage of current, of course. And with the HO you going to double-amplify the signal, not the ideal situation.

People do that the want but it's not clean to do it like that. :wink:
