  So what exactly does the gain switch do? It just seems to make it louder?

I think it changes the output impedance, which can be better for more 'hard-to-drive' headphones.

Okay, thanks. I can't hear a huge difference using the Fiio though, maybe subtle but it's hard to tell. I only have ATH-AD700's, could that be it? I'm getting a pair of ATH-AD900x's tomorrow.

Can someone try this DAC with a iPhone and lighting/camera connector.  I want to use this DAC for my car if it works.  I don't want to waist my time buying the  lighting/camera connector if won't work.
 
I believe there is a chance it will work cause this DAC chip is in some other devices that work with iPhone.

iPhone won't likely going to have enough power to power the E10K up.

Well with line out and amp not being used I'm thinking there is a small chance.

what is an asio driver ? Do I want it?
My e10k works just fine (win 7 64)

It allows software to connect directly to the sound card, which can decrease latency. Really helps for some software in which playback is distorted if I use DirectSound.
 
That said I recently uninstalled the ASIO driver because I am trying to figure out what's causing Blue Screen of Death on my computer. I've had no Blue Screens yesterday so I guess the ASIO driver may be the culprit.

And has anyone figured out a way to play DTS audio? Unfortunately I can't watch my Blu Rays without using my laptop's speakers now (headphone jack is broken)

hmm ok, so Maybe I shouldnt install it then

99% certain the ASIO driver was causing your problems.  WASAPI output provides the same benefits as ASIO without the instability.
 
DTS will need to be resampled before reaching your E10K.  Your audio decoder (LAV Audio Decoder, for example) should allow you to turn bitstreaming off for DD/DTS.

You mean the DTS extension? I just installed a plugin to foobar and it plays them fine, so there should be something you can install on your media player software too.

Did you have the ASIO driver for the E10K installed? (advice from FiiO HQ is to try *un*installing the ASIO driver if you do have it installed)

Try unticking DTS from the E10K's Properties->Supported Formats tab. Your player should prompt you to convert DTS to PCM or do so automatically then.

that certainly worked for me on Windows 7.

Hi gentelmens. Does this little wonder work with 2.1 systems? Edifier S730D for example. Thanks for the help.
