Hello,   I currently own a pair of Sennheiser 595's and have decided to make the move to the 650's. From what I was able to read in reviews and in this forum the 650's need an amp to really get the best out of them. The only issue is I don't have a clue as to what amp to get?   The...

I just got a Fiio E7/E9 the other day.  When the fiio is plugged in its default title is "speakers( usb audio)"   It only gives me the option of 3 sample rates, and changing the volume balance does nothing.   My udac by comparison connects as an SPDI/F interface    Any...

In the last week, I have gotten new headphones (Audio Technica ATHM50's) and I ordered a Fiio E11 portable amp witha LOD for my itouch 1st gen. The amp is great but it does not allow charging while in use and I have had the batteries run out on me during the work day. I spend most of my day at...

ok first off im kind of new to the whole audiophile thing i have had v-moda's crossfade m80s for like 8 months and im thinking ill get an upgrade which would probally be the sennheiser hd 650 and i hear they take a decent amp to use i have a fiio e11 i dont know if that is a good enough amp for...

the fiio e9 has 2 RCA's Line OUT, not RCA line in, i recently bought the dacport lx for my cousin. and we are trying to figure out what cord do i need to connect to the dacport lx. the dacport has a 1/4 headphone jack in it, I already have a 1/4 adapter already so that's not an issue. but i need...

The dacport lx has a headphone out 1/4th jack, So what cord do i need to hook the dacport lx to the fiio e9

So I've been in a committed relationship with my Sennheiser HD600's and FiiO E9 amp for a year now... I love this combo, and the sounds I've heard go into my ears since last Christmas have been amazing. However, I've been thinking back about something: should I have gotten the E7 with them? How...

Im surprised my laptop Acer 8930G(4 year old laptop) is running my sennheiser HD650 very loud without an amp, but ive already ordered the asgard + bifrost combo.   hope the combo is going to be a big improvement or else i have to return the schiit products for a full refund.     and...

Hi there! I've been reading in these forums for over a year to figure out what equipment I should buy, so I settled with a beginners package (X-Fi Titanium HD - Fiio E9 - HD650). But now I feel that I want to upgrade my sound even more, so I've been reading for days, trying to decide what amp I...

I think that I'm severely underpowering my K240 Studios and that's part of the reason why I can't stand to listen to them. I'm willing to take a chance on an amp for them as I need one anyways.   I have an E7 so I have been looking at the FiiO E9 pretty much exclusively (as I won't need to...

I like my 9V cmoy with my HD580 but as i've read it is not decent enough for my cans. Most of these products are described well on this forum but i cant decide without auditioning them all. I can only listen to the Fiio and Mistral stuff in my country. Which one would you choose? 1. Fiio E9...

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and it seems pretty awesome. I was asking a friend about some headphone suggestions and he linked me this site. I don't know that much about headphones or amps but I'm looking to buy a pair and I could really use some recommendations. I like to play games and...

Hey all,   So the documentation and the early reviews say that the E09K only works with the E17. The later reviews I see say that the most recently produced E09K will work with the E7 although all the reviewers are using the E17. It sounds like Fiio may have fixed whatever issue prevented...

My budget is no greater than $75. These will be used at home on my PC with a Xonar DG sound card so portability won't be an issue. I've looked at the FiiO E10 and E11 as well as some cMoy but still cannot make a decision.

I have a basic fiio E17/E9 combo and am possibly looking for a tube amp or ss to go well with classical music. I was looking at the Schiit Valhala or something in that price range. Any help?

So I've been powering my HiFiman HE-400's off of a FiiO e7 Amp/Dac, and it really isn't powering it as fully as it can. What are some good ~$200 DAC/AMP combos that can power the HiFiman HE-400's?

First time poster here so forgive me if this problem was addressed in another thread, I've searched and could not find anything.    I bought the Fiio e7 and e9 combo about a year and a half back, and a few months ago my computer stopped recognizing the combo when I connect via USB.   The e7...

Hi guys!!!   Since i bought my config I "fall in love" to chase the best sound for gaming. I have an Asus DX and Audio Technica ATH AD700 and I wanna improve my audio statio for gaming and few music usage.   First I pretend to maintain my sound card and buy a new fiio e9. maybe i can...

Hey,   I was thinking of buying an Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 for gaming. But will this card be able to drive my Beyerdynamic DT990 pro (250 ohm)?   If not should I buy a headphone amp with it like the Fiio E17?   PC > Creative sound card > Fiio E17 > Headphones  ...

Hi, I am wondering which would give a better performance for my HD600. The O2 amp or a fiio e9+e7. Thanks.

I've never tried a headroom amp myself but they look well made and by a solid american company. Why aren't they discussed more on head-fi? Are they too costly for the quality? Or are they just yesterday's news and need some updates?

Hi guys, I recently purchased a pair of AKG K 272HS headphones. They arrived today and compared to my Koss Porta Pros they seemed a bit muffled. I understand they are closed vs. open headphones but I'm slightly disappointed.   I do have to set the volume much higher so I was wondering if the...

Hi all,   I have an Asus Xonar Essence ST with Sennheiser IE80s plugged in, and being the audio newbie that I am, I have a couple of questions. :)   Firstly, should I be looking into getting an amp? The sound levels definitely don't need a boost, but I hear that amps are used to improve...

Hi everyone,   I have a I question about what would solution pair best with my Beyerdynamic DT-990 600 Ohms.  My usage is approximately 70% music, 30% gaming -- LoL, Skyrim, occasional FPS.   I'm currently considering a few options.  Feel free to add other suggestions to the mix.  ...

The title pretty much says it all. Amazon has the DT880 at $249 at the moment and I'm thinking of buying it while the price is still low, but I'd like to know if my Fiio E17 portable amp will be powerful enough to drive it. Any takers?
