Currently happy with this setup

 
High gain with Bass Boost ON

It will automatically switch to the E10K when you plug it back in (I use my E10K on a MacBook Pro).

 
I assume when you unplug the E10K from the USB port, the Macbook will automatically go back to outputting sound via the built-in speaker or headphone jack?
 
Thanks!

It's the brother E11K

It is indeed. I'd highly recommend the pairing if it's in your budget. The amp in the E11K is more powerful, and the sound is nicer. You can clearly hear a difference if you move from the E10K to E11K with a song playing.
 
The bass boost on the E11K is much tidier too - it's not as boomy as the E10K's bass boost.

ok, I know I'll sound stupid asking this, but is there a Fiio product that's basically the E10K and E11K combined in one body?
 
I got the E07K a few days ago and it sounds good.... but I'm open to returning it and getting something "better" for maybe another $50 to $100..
 
My main use will be listening on a PC(at home) and a Macbook Air(for travel).  
 
Thanks!

There's no such thing as a stupid question
 
I've wondered the same thing myself, but never bothered to look into it, as I wanted the separate amp to use elsewhere. Maybe someone else here will know...

If you like the E11K more then why do you have the E10K as well?

Because the E10K DAC ****s all over the default output from my MacBook Pro. The E11K is just an amp.

the forum changed that word to ****s
 
it's currently 5AM and I can't figure out what word was that supposed to be?  
without it, I have no idea what the whole sentence meant....

Hahaha. It was an "Australianism" (read: swear word)
 
Translated to english as: The E10K DAC is far superior to the default output.

Hi guys, when I turn up and down the volume knob of E10K, there is quite a audible hiss on the left side of my Audio Technica ATH-IM 02. It is not present on the right side of the same IEM.
 
The hiss only happens in the left side only when there is music playing and when I turn the volume knob up and down. If there is no music playing and I turn the volume knob, there is no hiss whatsoever on both sides.
 
I tried to change the cable with the replacement cable but the result is the same. I've also tested with Shure SE215 and the problem persists.
 
Does this fall under "defects in materials and materials" and would I be able to claim warranty through Fiio?

Can you spell out the word or point me to a dictionary site that has the word?
 
Always want to learn more Austrlian curse words.... I go to Outback Steakhouse quite often... they don't seem to speak Australian at all! 
 
 
Back to the E10K....does it sound better than the E07K, when connected to the Macbook?   I bought the E07K a few days ago, still got until 1/31 to return it for full refund.
