QUOTE(E1 - AKG @ Jul 24 2012, 11:08 PM) Wow! You are considering 3 very different product for different applications. What are your source/s Sources varies   Just wondering if E7 DAC is enough Cuz I'm 50 outside 50 inside kinda person Which one is consider a long term investment so that I won't have to change amp anytime sooner My sources are PC or Blackberry Music format:either FLAC or 320kbps mp3 files |

QUOTE(noobandroid @ Mar 19 2015, 09:10 PM) if you are on android, can consider using otg to a usb dac amp, same method can be said for iDevices too android has less support for dac amp combos whereas iDevices support almost any self powered dac ampsthe only reason i converted to iphone for that |

QUOTE(ecitenoid @ Apr 3 2015, 08:47 AM) what is your recommendation? i may start with the affordable one first since this was my first attempt in this field. so far i do some searching looks like FiiO product have lots of review. The chain iskindly please advise. im totally noob at this. but i assumed the concept is the same as music instrument. A good guitar + good amp = wow. Player->dac->amp-> headphone Player itself usually have a dac amp built inside of it. Adding an amp will just increase the volume. Unless you could get an apple LOD which feeds your external amp with signal direct from the dac bypassing the internal amp. But then i doubt your htc on headphone would benefit much from an amp |

QUOTE(ecitenoid @ Apr 3 2015, 02:49 PM) sorry.. just going through previous pages headphone and amp thread and now i have some idea. e10k is a desktop dac amp. E1 had been in the community for very long, what they recommend could be the best you can get for your money From a band musician to music listener kinda like drive a car change to super car. based on my google effort so far i see most Ipod setup they used the LOD (images show FiiO LOD). Plan to bypass the ipod DAC. coz i more to rock/metal with high in bass sound. so current when i play a song with high bass drop music, sound like pecah. so i will discuss about the headphone on headphone section. back to amp, what amp DAC + Amp that good for starting? saw E1 - AKG recommend the FiiO e10k. hope u guys will be patient with me towards my lots of question. im trying to learn a new thing in my life now. add : thanks for sharing the chain info. really appreciate it.!!!  For my own question now Source : Laptop/iPhone 6 Equipment : Magni Requirement : DAC with DSD compatibility (able to use with phone or laptop) Budget : RM700 max was looking for the e17k and the nano idsd. Could the e17k decode dsd with iphone using CCK? |
