Hi, can someone recommend me between these 2?
FiiO E10 vs E17
I'm mostly watching anime movie, some music and some gaming (Diablo 3, etc.).
Will I feel different from those 2? Using the noob noob earphone AT CK-300M blush.gif

Or if you feels there're better suggestion can also put them here. wink.gif
Thank you very much.

Hi, I need suggestion on DAC (+AMP) for IEM of mine.
I have AT CK-300M, Creative EP-630 (rarely use) and Samsung Galaxy Note stock IEM, I also planned for FAD Adagio II.
I need one that can bring out the best from my IEM, well especially the FAD Adagio II that I'm planned to.
I like BASS (thumping bass) and clarity on mid, I'm not into high (headache with too much high pitch).
I probably will goes portable so battery is a good idea but I'm most using it on my main PC and sometimes laptop, and if my Galaxy Note has the capability of output USB audio then well, I'll probably going for that as well.
I think my condition is a bit... umm... too specific? haha... anyway I can goes up to max FiiO E17 (my first choice), if others capable of I need, please do suggest more.
Thank you in advance.

Umm... hard choice, how's Hippo Cri Cri+ compare to FiiO E17?
I did auditioned E7 before, the sound is kind of very high pitch and Hippo (can't remember the model) has much warmer and detail sound, especially on the mid!
Does E17 gives the same output of E7?

Thanks for all the input, my first DAC purchase so I don't want regrets wink.gif

E17?  brows.gif
Hmmm, read some reviews bout it, I think i will stick to e11 first la since e17's price is doubled than that of e11  sweat.gif
No money wei.. I will start funding and at the same time, go Jaben to audition them.
Oh yea, e11 and hippo box+, which one is better? Or they are good at different things?

Aww you can go Jaben to audition.
Hope local here can import the E17 and Cri Cri+ so I can choose which one I can go with... unsure.gif

Simple, DAC = Sound card.

is Hippo Cri Cri+ a good Amp/DAC to use with ATH-AD700?

Shouldn't be a problem, CriCri+ can support up to 250ohms or 300ohms if not mistaken.
Your headphone is rated at 32ohms only.
If you can auditioned it at local store then you can bring along your headphone to the store to test it out.

Guys, currently i have a setup of cricri+ with goldring headphone, as suggested by bro noobandroid, if i pair up with external dac and i will get a better sound.  Currently im eyeing on ess sabre aka UD100 since there are lots of good comments and good price too. So the question is will i get improvement from UD100 or should i just stick with the internal dac of cricri+ ?
*
No one answering... umm, anyway my UD100 is on the way here, hopefully today then I'll give you slight idea on how does both perform on my humble ears.
I have CriCri+ as well (very well burn-in) vs 0-hour (hopefully it's) UD100, if not today probably tomorrow (if Poslambat hard working enough) doh.gif

Note though CriCri+ is 24/96 and UD100 is only 16/48, so to be fair, I uses only 16/44 loseless to compare, well... most of my loseless are 16/44 blush.gif

Hippo CriCri+ is DAC+AMP @ RM490 from Jaben.
Hippo CriCri is AMP only @ RM350 from Jaben.
All in all you have to audition them yourself, I chose CriCri+ over E17 due to my taste, few seconds of song already got me poisoned with CriCri+. tongue.gif
