Hey guys, title says it all really
My source will either be an ASUS Xonar DS or a Cowon i9, and my 'phones will be either Koss Pro DJ100's or Sennheiser CX300-II's.
The Cowon i9 seems to be fine at driving earphones, but it is weak in comparison to other players which i have used when it comes to connecting over ear headphones or speakers. The sound quality is fantastic for what it is, but it sounds a little weak and lacks volume with some headphones/speakers... So i figured that a little FiiO might just do the trick
I have read that the FiiO will be good for my purpose as the EQ's will allow me to reduce the bass from my CX300-II's or increase the bass of my Pro DJ100's, as well as increasing the volume
Am i right in thinking this? And is there anything i should note or take into account? I know if it doesent do what i expect its only £20, but hey, its worth asking
Also i'm not overly sattisfied with the sound quality and clarity of my Xonar DS for listening to music when compared with the Cowon, so will the FiiO improve this as well? I have heard reports of the +6db setting improving bass and treble and tightening up the low end and adding 'punchiness' to the bass.
Thanks all
