Hello guys, will e12 and C&C BH work with my Samsung Nexus S phone? or is it only compatible with iphone? Can I pass through from PC audio connector?
I have read through this thread and many others, and I still can't decide which amp to get.
I try to find an amp to partner up with K550 and IPod 5.5, which I feel the sound is very muddy , and the treble, base and normal vocal seem mixed together. Of course, I don't mean you cannot tell them apart, IPod 5.5 does have a wolfson chip and K550 is a relative good headphone. However, there is just no excitement inside.
Does anyone can give a little insight on that?
Is K550+IPod 5.5 suitable to E12? or C&C BH is better choice for K550 + IPod 5.5?
or no matter which one I choose I won't see much improvement, because the problem is the DAC? so to get a better player is more practical?
I will appreciate your help very much.
I don't find the 5.5 muddy at all....and I use the line-out with the FiiO E11, which some people say sounds dark (which I disagree with).
yes. I think I just didn't say it right. Actually I don't think it is muddy, but it is just hard to describe that kind of feeling.
Does pairing up IPod 5.5 with E11 make a lot of difference?
I think the 5.5 has what some some call a non-fatiguing sound, an analog type sound....you can listen to it all day long without needing to take a break. And if you Rockbox it, then you'd have a 10 band parametric EQ and bunch of other adjustments you could make, if you so desired. I'm not using the EQ, but I do have the Meier-style crossfeed enabled....it's a very subtle crossfeed that doesn't ruin the separation in early stereo mixes, just tones it down the slightest little bit.
Since I don't use sensitive IEMs, then I don't notice a sound signature difference when using my FiiO amps (E11 and E6) as long as I don't engage the bass boost of the amps. There's just more power available. If one was using sensitive IEMs, then headphone-out vs. line-out could make a much more noticeable difference. I do prefer the volume control of my amps rather than relying on the clickwheel for volume adjustments, but that doesn't bother everyone.
For you, it's possible Rockbox alone could let you make the changes you want without needing to get an amp at all....it's worth a shot, plus it lets you bypass iTunes.

I currently do not own headphones or a headphone amp. I would like a great sounding portable setup. I have a 5.5 gen IPod Classic. I have considered the E11 and the Sennheiser H D-25 II headphones more than any other equipment. The E-12 sounds great also. I assume I do not need an amp with a DAC for the 5.5 gen IPod?
What is a great portable setup with the iPod I have? I am very interested in the E-12.
Kick @ss review Bill....
Hi, I just ordered the Audio Technica ad900x with the Fiio e12. I'm excited to see how that combination works together. The only negative is that the portable device I am using is a Zune 120, which can only interface through the headphone out.
