Hello guys.. I'm just wondering, is it worth it to buy a Fiio E3 for my earphones and headphones (not audiophile headphones )? I mainly use my SonicGear Earpump 2.. I chose the Fiio E3 because I want a clearer sound and maybe a bit more bass for the cheapest price.. My sources are my Nokia 5130, Ipod Shuffle and Laptop..

Thanks in advance!

Will the Hippo Groove do any better?

Taking.. But i have very low budget.
I know this is not a headphone/earphone thread but i wanted to reply to these guys who replied to me because it'll be easier.
I just need 1 reply back- A 'yes' or 'no'

Guys, which USB DAC is better? The GoVibe Mini USB DAC or T-Muso USB DAC? Want to use to replace my laptop soundcard..

^ nah. just want to know which is better if i want to buy it one day..

Hi guys.

I was looking at the Maverick TubeMagic D1 and was thinking of getting it.
I want to ask about the connection on the back as I'm not really sure



If i want to connect the DAC to my amp, which analog output do i use?
What is the use of the analog input when this is a D-A-C ? Is it used for the 'Headphone Out' ?

Thanks in advance

no.. USB is just in case i want to connect my laptop instead of CD player..

No.. I want to place the DAC in the living room for my dad to use with his cd player which only has coaxial and optical output.. so, i'm looking for a DAC which has coaxial input.. If the DAC has a Coaxial input, that would be enough.. What i meant was, if there is also a USB input, that would be a bonus for me as i can connect my laptop too if i wanted.. Hmm, hope this is understandable..

How's the performance of the Fiio D3 compared to those RM800-RM1000 ones?

Any other DAC better than the D3? Willing to pay high now (around RM800) because might not upgrade in the future..

Nice.. but i need one with coaxial input.. USB is optional...

Guys, I've been looking at the FireStone Fubar IV Desktop DAC/Amplifier and the FireStone Audio SpitFire MKII DAC. Are they good? I will only need the DAC part..
