Thanks! im currently using the E5.. would E6 be a significant upgrade?

I am quite a bass lover so I'm considering on a portable amp purchase which goes well for bass and has come down to these two. The cmoy bass boost and Fiio E11..

can anybody suggest which?

I'm not using an IEM. I'm using a sony MDR XB700 and a Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 as my source. Pretty soon I wanna get the ATH Pro 700 MKII~

I checked them out! thanks man !


ahhh i see.. how would you rank it with the cmoy bass boost? does the ZO give real thumping bass?

hi. I'm aiming to get a Fiio E17 for the ridiculously good ratings it has received.
However, I don't know if it is practical to my needs (considering the hefty price tag ) I'm a definite bass lover and sorry to say, don't really pay much attention to mids and highs.. well at least to the point that as long as they sound averagely clear. I'm using the Sony MDR XB700s, probably considering an upgrade to the ATH Pro 700 MK2s. My source is a samsung galaxy player.

Will the e17 still be the best choice for me? Or should i just get the ibasso d-zero? or maybe the e7?

i see i see so i'll cross out dzero thanks for info. e7 and e17 bass significantly different is it?

thanks for info. I have the e5 and they suck big time.

just say that i'd get the e17 anyways coz i think occasionally id use it with my pc as well, will the bass improvements on the e17 be a whole lot better than those on the e11?

between the ZO2 and the Fiio E11, which one is more suited for bassheads?

looking at real booming bass~

aiyaa now i using e5 wanna upgrade to e11..

worthy upgrade? i also wanna get a bigger capacity battery for e11..

anybody with experience on bigger batteries? does it last significantly longer?

to me. YES. Fiio E11 is the one to go.

The e11 packs a lot of power, u can never go full volume with these because just by turning the knob little by little can get really high volume.

Also, the EQ settings are simple to tweak with, if you basshead, u will definitely love it.

Fiio e11 to me is darn powerful, drives my headphones and IEMs to become real bass monsters. battery life also not bad. can always last from 10-12 hours la. sometimes even more.

Hi guys. I just bought a Shure SRH 1440s and currently have to just power it via my Fiio E11.

I've been thinking of getting a desktop amp, because I won't be able to use it outdoors anyways. So meaning a DAC.

Looking for tube if possible, but whatever nice sounding solid state also can lah.

budget below RM1000.

Been thinking of getting the E17+E09K combo. Good ah?

I tried the bravo tube amp and I think its fair enough, but doesnt look like a DAC tho. And probably there are many other amps out there that could do the 1440s more justice.

thanks for the suggestion! checked it out and I kinda like it.

any idea where I can find this in the country? or could Jaben help?

well no it doesnt
