Thanks for the help so far.  Will those Monoprice cables fit the Titaniumd HD and Fiio RCA jacks?  They look pretty thick lol.

Awesome, i dont have any rca cables though!. Do i need any special type of rca cable? Thank you for the help!

Hey guys,   I just got the Fiio E9k, I used to have the original E9.  On the old setup I had the RCA from my sound card going into the line in on my amp.   On this amp there is no headphone line in, just rca for everything.  So do I just need to run RCA to RCA AUX?  And will this effect my...

My headband doesn't stay on the right settings when I take them off, sometimes they slide down a notch, so annoying! Is this normal?

What do the metal wings do on the headband of the DT990? Are they just for looks or do they have a purpose?   Thanks

Quote: Sorry I forgot to mention the DT990 32 Ohm are the easiest of the 990s to drive and sound great   With your laptop as your source that is definitely your best bet!   So if you want close headphones go DT770 pro 80 Ohm   For open, which sound better IMO go DT990 32 Ohm  ...

If u have to do without an amp go DT770 pros 80 Ohm version, they are the easiest to drive out of the bunch.   If you can somehow manage to rob a bank and buy an amp get DT990s   GL!

Quote: I'm sure the E9 can handle the Q701s, maybe someone else should chime in about that though as I haven't used the two together.   The 250 and 80 Ohm versions sound pretty much the same to me, but the 80 Ohm is easier to drive and has a straight cable, while the 250 has a coiled...

Hi there,   The Beyerdynamic DT770s are my favorite closed cans for gaming/movies.  Good sound stage/positional accuracy for any headphone, especially a closed one!  And omg are they comfortable, I can wear them all day!  Amazon has them for under $200 usually, I recommend the 80 Ohm...

I just got my Velour pads in the mail today for my HE-400s, sounds so much better, wow...

Will do, do you think the MKIII is the best amp for under $300?

Quote: Hey there,   I'm using a Titanium HD as my DAC  (Titanium HD -->RCA to 3.5 --> Fiio E9 --> DT990), gaming is my main priority so this is the best DAC for me.  Music is a close second, using foobar with FLAC.  I think you could be right with the Little Dot MKIII, seems like it...

I have a pair of Dt990 600Ohms on the way, but my finger is itchy and I want to order a pair of T90s also and just keep one.   Amazon has them for $650, is that a fair price for T90s?   Also, can the good old Fiio E9 properly power a T90? If not what amp for them thats under $300?  ...

Quote: I think I am gonna get my 990s setup and stay the *%$# off this site! I've managed to spend over 1500 in less than a week!!! What?   As the waterboy's mom would say...HEAD-FI IS THE DEVIL!!!

Quote: I thank you sir...   but my wallet doesn't!!!

Ok thanks for the info dude.   I'll be able to hook up the M stage the same as E9 right?   Titanium HD -->rca 3.5 --> M stage

Quote: LOL I thought you were my long lost twin when I read your gaming headphone review, I pretty much had the exact same impressions with the cans I tested.   I am gonna go ahead and buy the M stage and I'll see how it does vs my E9. Looks are nice and all... but I want the better...

Quote: Ya I was going to buy an Asgard until I saw they were out of stock :(   I have to order with Amazon because I have a credit card with them and It's my only income for audio stuff at the moment :(   Should I just buy the Matrix M-stage off Amazon or do they carry anything that...

Good to know, thanks Matt.   Is there a certain best bang for the buck amp for 600 ohm DT990s that Headfi recommends? Maybe $300 or less?

I just snagged a new pair of 600 ohm DT990s on amazon for $250 lastnight :D I think they sold out over night at that price though.   Fiio E9 and Titanium HD should work well with these right?

Hello everybody,   First time posting here, long time reader!   Thanks to advice from other threads here,  I have purchased the HE-400 phones. Awesome   What I'm wondering is if my Fiio E9 is holding them back?   If my E9 is holding them back, is there anything else for $250 or...
