fiio E9 + E17/E7~?
im using E10 n i still cant really feel the bass on my Q701...currently 30hours of burning...

if I'm on my STX soundcard, I set them to high gain.

how did u burn them?

with the help of a good friend, they've develop a burning playlist to minimize those noises.

this is a good thing.

but bro did u manage to put some rest ie silence for 5 minutes?

You can't expect the kind of bass ala Beats from the Q701, this is an audiophile headphones.

never tried this b4.
in my playlist got some burninwave.com sounds.

ok lorh RM400...that amp new RM1k seems like overprice
u from Klang right ? Jaben has RudiStor NX-03 also...

LOL..ala beats...hahaha...

+1

it's a open air headphone afterall.

bro the Fiio you use is a DAC right?

don't you think it is the same as the Asus Xonar Essence STX?

haha ya i noe but i was hoping to b at least on par wit my old sony xb 300~ anyway, i gonna save for e9 and mayb will hlp improve the quality a lot instead of my e10~

hey guys,

I'm relatively new in the audiophiles world, expect 0 knowledge on the equipments.

I wanted to buy a AKG K242 HD
purpose - music (instrumental)
device - PC (creative pci x-fi xtreme music) & phone

do I need an amp? I have totally no idea what is DAC, tube and whatsoever stuff and their purpose LOL, but I know they're "poisonous"!

Try to poison me=D

budget ? how much u willing to spend ???

hihi, nv tried k242 b4 so cant comment on it....whether u nd an amp or not its all depends on u, some ppl feel tht the output witout amp is not enough so they get an amp to enhance the output(i think its call enhance)...DAC is digital to analog converter, it convert ur digital signal on ur pc to analog signal...sry not good at explaining...

well, basically wat an amp do is it increase the power of ur signal thus u will hv better output...u can headover to jaben in subang to try out the headphone wit n witout amp...

Never had any experience with on board sound card, been an Apple kaki since Macintosh days

erm bro, e9i and e9 the same right? can e9i insert e17/e7?

Nope, FiiO E9i is for docking the iPhone but you can still use the FiiO E7/E17 by using the FiiO L7 adapter to bypass the internal amp then hook up to the FiiO E9i via the 3.5mm input at the back.

bro, if u don't want bias answer, pls read here --> http://www.head-fi.org/search.php?search=F...nar+essence+stx

many of them said STX better than Fiio...or if u don't believe, just go to Jaben and try it urself
