Hi all, need some help from any audiophile guru.

I'm currently using the FIIO E10K with Beyer DT990s.

The line out goes to my speakers and headhphone out to my DT990s.

I'm planning to get the Schiit Magni/Vali and more interested in the Vali due to the fact that it is a hybrid tube amp and might provide a more warmer sound.

If I do get the Vali, I plan to connect it through the line out of my FIIO E10K via 3.5mm to RCA cable. My only concern is the ringing sound that occurs with tube amps when you turn them on for the first few minutes.

-Would the ringing sound affect my speakers as well?
-Should I just connect my speakers through the line out from my FIIO E10K as per usual instead of connecting my speakers through RCA from the Vali to avoid the ringing?

Kindly advise as I've heard it would be better to output the amp (Vali) through line out as opposed to headphone out. If it makes no difference, I might as well use the headphone out to the Vali and use the line out from my DAC to my speakers to avoid the ringing.

I insta bought this when i saw the price in from Jaben promotional email.
really good looking and nice sound. the clamp is very easy on the head/ears with little to none pressure.
only thing is little to none noise cancellation
for RM127 including postage, you can't find fault on this one.

The noise cancellation is quite ok for me, i used it once on outdoor cafe, with music on it basically cancel quite a huge amount of outside noise.
Yea, the deal is crazily good, i bought 2, 1 for the preparation of gift purpose.

place problem as i directly it wear it in LRT - the announcement and aunty2 sekalian voice heard clearly.
but then as you said, the music on able to suppress most outside noise.

Haha yea, i nv try it in LRT, probably it is good so you can listen to the station announcement JKJK.

honestly this is quite a good point, so you aware which station you are at. i miss a station or 2 before using iem bcoz i'm into it or half-awake.

Heard they have new product coming soon, in the range of lower end series and their high range product. Wonder what is that, probably T2?

Finally their Custom Street is arrive in Malaysia,

still waiting for their new mid range product, tried their DT1770, quite impressed for the sound, however was looking for a open can.

bro E10K can drive 990 properly?? As my DACport need almost full power only can sound properly....feel abit disappointed

No not fully, your DACport is better then e10k

wow ok...for me dacport also not full enough.....aim some budget tube amp to pair with it.....

For budget tube amp, i believe you can try out Bravo Ocean amplifier, they do have the decent power.

haha exactly what i searching...ok will give it a try....

Haha i didn't pay much attention to recent scene on desktop amplifier, however Bravo really does have the affordable range.

Just tried the latest iDX200 from Beyerdynamic, bloody hell it is good, unfortunately Beyerdynamic Malaysia only have the demo unit, they are bringing in to try out the market respond.

It is full titanium alloy on the earphone housing, i did compare with RHA MA750 ,as both have the similar build material. To me the iDX200 performs better in mid low bass, separation and slight clearer detail, while MA750 has warmer/thicker mid range.

Still pretty much unknown for local price, but if you are looking at earphone similar range, don't forget to try out this new model from Beyerdynamic, it definitely can surprise you.
