Hello guys,   I was using Fiio E6 as the amp which connected to IPhone4's audio out(3.5mm) till today and this was working fine. Today i purchased Fiio L9 line out, and when connected as IPhone + Fiio L9 + Fiio E6 + Sennheiser HD558, there is constant static. I read on amazon that Fiio L9...

Hello,   I just recently bought a Fiio L9 for my new Fiio E11 amp. I put in the standard Fiio L8 Stereo Audio Cable 3.5mm to 3.5mm (Right Angle Connectors) that came with the E11 into the audio input on the unit (then I put the other side of it in the iPod headphone jack) and then plugged my...

Hey guys, im brand-spanking new to forums so here it goes!! Ok, i am planning on buying Audio-Technica ATHM50S headphones (unless someone shows me some that are just as good in bass, but dont build heat) and I want to get an amp for them. I only know about fiio portable amps so I have looked at...

Hi, I am confused on which portable headphone amps should I get. The amps I like are the FiiO E6 and the FiiO E11, they seem to be great amps. I am on a budget of $70. I have an iPod Touch 4th generation. I have the Audio Technica ATH-M50 White headphones. Which amp should I get?

I've had my Fiio E17 since April and use it mainly connected to my iPod touch through a Fiio L9 connector (i.e. on "Aux").   Now the AUX input is acting up -- I need to position the L9 connector just right to get sound, and even then, it's only through the left channel. I've tested with the...

I need to know what AMP I should get and If I should get a amp? I have the v moda lp2's I'm wondering what amps do and if the worth it. I'm willing to spend 50$ for the amp. Should I get a amp and what do they do to music. I want to improve the mids and I quess anything I can. How much does it...

Hi   My Gear   Ipod Touch/Nano->Line Out->JDS Labs O2->Ultrasone Pro 900   Once i was listening and accidently turned the volume on the O2 to max. The headphones were on max for around 5sec. Afterwards when i listened i heard random (not constant) popping and crackling sounds. It's...

Okay, as of now, I own a pair of Senneheiser HD 439's but the sound I am looking for isn't there. I want a pair of headphones that have good sound isolation (nothing that needs a battery like Bose) and I am also looking for headphones that I can blast (if I wear them around my neck) but at the...

Hi everyone, I own a pair of Sennheiser HD 439, they are very comfortable, and have nice sound, but I am looking to upgrade. I am looking for a pair of headphones with the following:   1.) Comfortable for long periods of time   2.) Good "thump" bass     3.) Between $100 and $250  ...

Ok, so I've read about both of these, and I've seen what you guys said about the two, but I would like your opinion on which one is more optimal for my situation. I think I am going to be getting the m50s as my headphones, and as an audio source is my trusty-yet-busted-but-soon-to-be-fixed iPod...

Hello,   I've always used my friends E17 and liked it, so i bought one myself. Maybe im bad luck Brian, but this was what happened.     Plugged the Fiio L9's 3.5 into the Fiio E17 AUX. Plugged it out, and the surround came along with it.     SPDIF IN insides are black...

I currently don't have any headphone amps. Will have them back in a week or two, but I have a question. My ipod's audio jack is srs starting to die; it randomly dies out and later comes back. Do the amps still need the jack to "work" in order for them to deliver sound? I'm not sure if it's just...

every time i move my ipod around it seems to pause the music is it normal for the ipod to pause when you bump the connector around or is there a short on my fiio l9 cable?   ( using a e17 as a amp)

i'm going to purchase the sony xb700 and i want to know which  amp would be nice for these (Under 40 bucks) 

I purchased my fiio E7 about 45 days ago. This worked perfectly with my iPad 3d through a USB/camera hookup until about a day ago. About a day ago the unit began functioning for 1-2 minutes before a "fluttering" of the music would begin, like a skipping record. If I pull the USB cord out of the...

It's been a long time coming, but I finally purchased my first headphone amp this week, the luck device in question being a JDS C421 with the OPA2227. I didn't really think that I would need a headphone amp considering my current collection is fairly low impedence-wise (highest being 44 ohms)...

Hi guys, im a new member to this forum, although i did use this website alot when choosing my headphones.    i just needed help finding a good amp for my monster turbine pro coppers. i just recently started looking into amps, and i was leaning towards either the Fiio E6 or E11. or if anyone...

My new XM6 just arrived and it sounds awesome both through USB from my macbook and from my ipod headphone out.  I have a few questions however:   1. What is a good Dock to Line Out adapter to use for my ipod to get even better sound and does using line out make it sound that much better? The...

so i bought these headphones long time ago, and havn't ever used them through an amp/dac. now that my pc is getting crappy, the sound is kinda ****. i know the problem isn't the headphones because i tryed those headphones on my ipod as well and they sound 10 times better than on the pc.  ...

  Well I picked up an E11 at B&H yesterday, an addition to FiiO's L9 LOD.  I had browsed the reviews on here before buying and it seemed like a good bang for the buck.  My ideal portable setup would include the Fostex HP-P1, but I can't justify spending that much on a portable amp right now...

I've been using my ATH-m50s with my iPod classic for a while now, and it's done the job for me for a bit. But what's bothered me for a bit is that for some songs, I have to simply turn my iPod's volume up a bit higher than usual. Should I invest in an amp of some sort? I've been looking at the...

Hello I am completely new to this world, well i already have some JAMO SAT30011 speakers and bass plugged into a Sony STR-GX415 reciever which i got for free, this rreally got me hooked on hifi audio when i was using my desktop with a ASUS Xonar D2X. Now I only have a laptop with no external...

I'm looking to buy an Amp/DAC to drive my HD-25's.  I have had an E7 for a few months and was saving up to buy an E9 to hep drive it, when all of a sudden, The DAC component of the E7 broke, and despite countless attempts just can't seem to get it working.  So at this point, I'm ruling out the...

First of all, typical new headfier here, recently decided to get into the whole (budget) audiophile scene, so after much searching I decided to get the Sony MDR-V6, fairly flat response, not very bass heavy and for casual listening reviewers agreed it was a good set, very happy with them btw...
