Why would you use a high end stuff to a passive speaker. Beware, passive speaker with 4ohm to 8ohm will harm the E7 in the long run. It supposed to amp a headphone or use as a dac to amplifier.

hi im new here.. im using iphone 4 with bose on ear headset. few days back i decided to get fiio e5 amp and L1 lod from ebay (because im in UK now) after read the good feedback from the e5 users. My question is does the amp need to 'burning in'? because the result of the amp is not as good as the comments i read from forums. maybe my bose on ear headphone is not as good as theirs? if amp is the problem im interested to try the e7 but its too expensive to try. im worried the e7 still don satisfied my needs. need advice badly here.. thanks (noob here)

Theoretically all audio equipments need burn-in, that's what believers said. To me, I believe in burning-in headphones as the results are quite obvious to me, but not headamp.

that means headamp no nit to burn in? but the sound quality does improved after some time. maybe when i got the parcel in the morning im still blur in the dream hahhaa.. btw im really confuse wanna get e7 or not.. the amp actually make the sound louder only or makes
the mp3 sounds better in clarity? im referring to E7. thanks

Goodness, why L1 Should go with L3 instead

Based on your iPhone as your source, use the E11 via L3 instead. Yes, you should get better alternative to the Bose.

Go for the E7 if you do need the USB / DAC function as an external sound card / amp for your computer.

Oh yes, what is the bit rate of your audio files

my bit rate for my audio files min 128 and most of them are 320kbps. i dont think i can use L3 since im using vapor element 4 case. only standard size adapter/dock will fit. thats why i took L1 instead of L3 which has smaller dock, correct me if im wrong. Will i get better sound in terms or clarity if i switch over to e7 Instead using the small unpromising E5.. hehee.. and i can use it as amp for my computer too i got my bose for 120 pounds which is rm600, i really cannot afford for other headphone other than this. any alternative recommends to me? thanks

Added on May 23, 2011, 3:41 ami have one question here regarding fiio e7+fiio e9

fiio e7 is dac which means convert the digital to analog but fiio e7 itself is already an amplifier. what is the purpose to connect to fiio e9 another amp? is this consider double amping the source?

noob here thanks

@shawn87
E7 will act as a DAC only when docked with E9; letting E9 do the amplification.

hmm, got specs for the e7 USB dac? also where can i get L7 LOD in malaysia n how much??

wtf lol seriusly... am i seeing wrongly or the iphone fits on top..

ordered Fiio E7 from ebay expected to get it by tmr before 1pm! cant wait to try it ~~~

PCM270(?) as USB receiver (forget which chip it is but PCM270x chip are all alike) and WM8740 as DAC chip. Support up to 16/48, I think.

The one for iPhone is called a E9i. But it can't be used for E7 anymore. The dock is different.

Yes, it is for iPhone. For those that use iPhone as a source instead of the computer.

so if without E9 the E7 itself will do the amp part izzit? in my case i don have E9 do i need an extra amp to pump the music? i only got e5 now or e7 itself will act as an amplifer.. thanks

The E7 is an USB / DAC amplifier

where can i get L7 LOD of e7 in malaysia n how much??

received my Fiio E7 today comes with standard stuff. Just the box is different its like apple iphone box. and comes with screen protector. During plug in to computer the Fiio actually glow in red colour.. overall quality is very good im very happy.

It looks like your HP is the problem. Had sold in-excess of 100 units with 2 faulty units. Both faulty units have to do with the volume control minus button not working.
