So I'm looking to purchase a set of headphones to replace a cheap headset that I originally had for gaming. I've done some research, and, in a price range of £300 came up with the AKG K550 paired with a Fiio E17. Obviously because I will be basing the purchase on threads, reviews, etc the Denon...

I have a free giftcard from amazon and am lookin to buy an amp for my iPhone 4S and Gr07. Which ones do you recommend? Thank you!

Hello !   I just bought an HD25-1 ii for portable use (iphone 4S and Nano) and also to use it with my macbook pro 2010, both with flac files, should i buy an E17 or the quality gain would be too weak to spend more money ?   thanks :)

Hi folks, I just picked up a Fiio E17 and have been trying to use them with my SRH-840s but I can hardly tell the difference between the E17 and the built in DAC/amp in my 11" MacBook Air. In fact plugging directly into the air makes the music sound slightly more "alive". Forgive me if I'm not...

In a continuing battle of wills to drive my Hifiman HE-500s to that ever-elusive 'sweet spot' (or so it seemed), I have found myself on a perpetual motion of experimentation (until now!). Having heard good things about the Fiio E11 and HE-500 synergy, I never figured I could take that good...

Looking at these 3 DAC/Amps for use with Beyer 770 Pros (80ohm). Which would be my best option?

  I've been looking to make my first hop into world of "not so terrible" audio. I believe I've got my self pointed down the right path and I'm looking for a sort of multi-purpose setup. I was looking at the E17, paired with an E9.   I will primarily be listening via my home PC where I...

Hi Guys, I am looking for an all around AMP/DAC, and am looking at these two options. All around as in I will be using this 50% with my computers (laptops/desktops) and 50% on the go. How do these two amps compare? I am mainly looking at the E17, however the D2+ Boa is attractive to me because...

I am looking at buying new portable gear. I have so far just been using ipod touch and klipsch image s4.   Now from reading on the net some people claim that HifiMan 602 is crap, and that its frequency curve isn't straight. I have a hard time believing that it is truly bad though, having...

Hi, I'm looking for a DAC to use with my StepDance and Senn HD-650.   1) I checked E10 and E17's specs. It seems that they share the same chips for the DAC section. Are they the same (DAC only) in terms of SQ as well? 2) If I purchase E10 through MiccaStore@Amazon, should it be immune to...

I think I've narrowed my choices to these two. Do you guys think the D1 is worth getting over the E17 for sound quality reasons? They're both around the same price so I'm not really sure which to go with if I really dont intend to carry it around. The thing is that it'd be nice to nestle the e17...

Hello guys! So I just got back from my vacation and going to NYC I went to J&R and picked up an Asus Xonar DG sound card for cheap. Looking through my city's local craigslist, someone's selling the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic for like $20 which I can easily get. Suppose I have...

Hello collegues!   I finally decided to upgrade from a Sennheiser HD555 (and my beloved 2005's Shure e4c) to a HD 650 and I bought a FIIO E17... the difference is incredible. (mmm... I also got a super bargain of 25euros Koss Porta Pro for using exclusively in my job desk... the HD 650 are...

Hi just some background - started on hifis and determined Sonus Faber Cremona M setup is beyond reach in my lifetime so started on head-fi journey.   current equipment - laptop FLAC source (home) - MeElectronics A151 balanced armature earbuds - Senn HD600 (did not burn in) - Fiio E17...

I must say I am a newcomer to this headphone-world, but I love music and I appreciate a lot the world has recently opened to me.   I own now a HD555, a pair of Shure e4C and the Koss Porta Pro. I have acquired a amp/DAC FIIO E17 ALPEN and also a Sennheiser HD650.   I saw so many reviews...

Hi, I'm new here but have the following question.   I own a Sennheiser HD25 and a Sansa Fuze (v2 rockboxed) and a Cowon J3 player   I'm looking for good ear bud's (not in-ear) and found that the Yuin PK1 are highly recommended so I'm planning on buying them. I read that they require a...

I have never owned any "audiophile" DAC. The time that the sound connection broke on my PC and I had to install a sound card from 03 was probably the closest I ever got.    A while back I posted a thread asking if I would really appreciate good headphones, and I do, so now I'm wondering if I...

Hello all!    I am the proud new owner of some Sennheiser HD 558's. I love em for most applications however there are times that I want a bit more deep bass, not all the time, in fact I love using these raw for classical music, gaming, and most youtube use. However when I listen to some...

Hello,   I've decided to upgrade my listening experience for classical music to a ColorFly C4 and my preferred pairing will be the ACS T1's, but should I use a portable amplifier with this set up and if so what do more experienced people here think of the FiiO E17 as an appropriate choice...

[[Fiio E17 DAC/Amp (ALPEN) + Fiio E09K Desktop Amp (QOGIR)]]   Hi Head-Fi community! I just wanted to start off and say that I am fairly new to posting on this forum but I have been lurking here, reading and learning for quite some time. Please bear with my if I'm making some mistakes here! =p...

So I begin my journey of searching for that better quality of sound. At first I was digging the HD598's, then I learned about omns/impedance. So now I've got it down to the DT770's 250omn and the Fiio E17's. What do you guys think about this combo for music/video games

hello! ive been lurking for a weeks and decided to get some new audio equipment. i first read StratocasterMan's thread about his low budget desktop rig and decided to try it out. bought the dayton b652s and 10" sub from parts express and went with the e9k+e17 combo instead of the lepai.  ...

Hi all,   Am fairly new to all this; taking my first steps into the huge and daunting world of higher-end audio, so please go easy on me! :)   I currently own the iPod Touch  - the version that came out before the most recent one - and the iPhone 4s. I also have a Macbook Air. The...
