I'll be looking forward to reading all the reviews in the coming days to see if the L7 is worth the $10

Well it should for those without a DAC that don't wanna be force to buy the E9 with the E7.

Hey guys, any advice on how to hook up my Samsung LCD TV's digital audio out (optical) port to my Fiio E9/E7 combo? I figured that would be the easiest way to amplify and use my DT880s with an Xbox 360.

You're better off using the TV's RCA Out (or better yet, use the XBox 360's audio dongle, and hook up the red/white audio out to an RCA female to 3.5mm male cable straight to the E9's 3.5mm line in). The latter method is better because you're skipping the TV's processing. Get monoprice's RCA to 3.5mm male and hook that up to the E9's 3.5mm Line In. BTW, the E7 is doing NOTHING in this equation.

The E7/E9 only has analog inputs.

The good thing about the XB360 is that it outputs audio from the all connections, even if you're using an HDMI cable for video.

^ This.
 
To save you some time, here's the cable:

I'm actually about to buy one myself to use with my PS3.

Thanks for the advice! Is there any difference between the genuine Xbox  360 Audio adapter or should I just one of the cheap ones from eBay?
By the way, excuse me for the probably very dumb question but how do I plug the RCA to 3.5mm male cable in the Xbox audio adapter since both RCAs are female?

Actually, using a dongle may force the 360's HDMI to reset, (due to hacked component cables out there). So personally, if I were in your shoes...

System ---> HDMI ---> TV ---> TV Audio out ---> RCA male to 3.5mm male (make sure it's long enough for your use) ---> E9 Line in

Tried it... it sounds fine.

http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10218&cs_id=1021804&p_id=5599&seq=1&format=2 (10 feet... though they have shorter 6, 3, or 1.5ft feet runs... ). For long runs, I think I'd just buy a longer RCA male/male, and a very short RCA female to 3.5mm male cable.

 

[substance90]

I guess you're right that this would be easiest way to achieve what I need. I ordered a 21 feet 2 RCA male to 3.5 mm male cable from eBay in order to get it behind quite a few pieces of furniture and not have to constantly change the place of my Fiio. Thanks for the assistance!

 

[Mad Lust Envy]

That's quite a long run. Analog connections like that may suffer with such long runs. I never had such a long run, but I hope it works out for you.

Can I replace the OP2134 with any 8pin OPAMP perhaps LM4562?
Will I need a soldering gun? I know how but don't have one.
Thanks

Hi!
 
I'm new here, wish me welcome!

 
I have very recently purchased the AKG Q701, the FiiO E7, and the FiiO E9.
The purchase is so fresh in fact, that I'm still waiting for the FiiO products to be shipped.(dx is so slow)
 
Anyhoo, I'm also wondering about the possibilities of connecting the E9 to a PS3. I have one of these:http://cgi.ebay.com/PS2-PS3-HDTV-READY-TV-HD-COMPONENT-AV-CABLE-5-WIRE-/400212830422?pt=Video_Games_Accessories&hash=item5d2e8b28d6
 
Can I simply connect the red and white cables directly into the back of the E9?
I've obviously read the previous posts, but couldn't figure it out.
 
Please be gentle with a common n00b!

The RCA jacks on the back of the E9 are actually outputs. What you would need is something like an RCA to 3.5 mini adapter / cable like the BJC cable I have in my signature.

Oh, I see!
 
Thank you for the assistance!

Does anyone have any idea of the release date of new Fiio products? Was gonna get the E9, but as it will mainly be coming from a DAC (gonna b used with my pc) maybe I should wait until Fiio comes out with their new line of amps with the better DAC?

New desktop DAC+AMP is just start developing. we do have schedule but it is not suitable to reply now because sometimes it is hard to control the schedule.
