Heck yeah. Makes everything sound like you're in some kind of a "Matrixy" chamber.

well it works best with the stock laptop speakers or not it'll sound crappy.
but for the output... it's just

Yeah, I'm using Dell Insipiron 1420 too.. the sound comes out from SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC is really unbearable. At first i thought it was my newly-bought headphones problem, till i tried it with my mp3 player, it sounded better alot. Hmm, can i know why did u skip the E7? Is it really that bad compared to the Go-vibe/ordnance?

lmao.. asus has bang & olufsen, the qosmios have harman kardon and dells jbl. how...temptingg xD

Oh the E7 works well enough, but I preferred a dedicated DAC and to be honest when I was in the market for a DAC the E7 wasn't released yet; and once I heard the Ordnance DAC I was sold.

My additional reasoning is that I'd rather have one device that does what it's supposed to well and have less complications to it. Less stuff in one device means less noise. And I dislike EQ controls; my reasoning is that the musician wants you to hear the music as he recorded and mixed it, not monkey around with EQ settings e.g. the bass boost and change how his music sounds, so E7 has a strike against it already for me in that respect-- it's not really neutral anymore. Also I have the E5-- and didn't like the sound-- more or less no difference to me except with Bass Boost, and then bass went over... I got better SQ from upgrading player, source files and IEMs. So I didn't really bother to try E7 either.

If you want my honest advice-- best way is to audition all these yourself. Try and come down to KL for a day trip or 2 day trip, drop by Subang and test it. All of us here talk and talk also no use-- the truth as it stands to be heard is in your ears.

HP got Beats By Dr Dre!
that one is by far the most beautiful basic laptop I've ever seen XD
the B on the keyboard is replaced with their Beats logo.

ohya... it comes with a built in subwoofer. (not recommended... later shake shake internal hard disk suffers)

Meh. Inbuilt speakers all sound craptastic to me, TBH. No matter whether they're Harman Kardon or whatever have you. How can it sound good when there's not enough reverb, driving power, etc.?

They are only gimmicks to fool customers into thinking they're getting the best. Although they might sound better compared to others, they're still at best noise makers.

Thanks for the lengthy reply Alright, will get either the govibe/ordnance dac and then maybe get a hippo box. Just sold my E5, don't have any amp ATM Hope Jaben can give some good bundles of dac + amp

buy dac/amp terus lah

Go vibe PPK

Govibe PPK is not a DAC/AMP combo, its only an amp

oowh..SORRY..heheheh im a newbie

uhuhu but worth it PPK..nice n powerfull..syiokk..kekeke

LOL....

but honestly i also dont know much about amp+DAC because i only use fiio e5 amp only....

oowh...slightly better i guess..huh..d only amp/dac i tried before oni ordinance .25 or am i wrong again..if yes sry..hehe

ibasso d2 boa oso both..but i heard cant drive high end cans nicely though

I'm not that rich to spend so much on a dac/amp

Get a Maverick D1..
Saw got ppl selling in garage sales..
Quite worth..
STill got upgraded opamps..

Yea, that's a nice deal, still like new...zzz

Haha show us the link man.

Guys, one question. What are the prices of 3.5mm interconnects available at Jaben? I don't think I need those super-duper ones, as I'm not in a stage worthy enough(financially and sonically ) to buy those. After I've secured a job with stable pay, well that'll be a different story.
But for now......
