Hi everyone, wanna ask u guys something.
I am using IE80 with my MacBook and I realize I can still listen to some hiss when playing songs or movies. Do u guys think getting a FiiO Q1 Mark II can solve my problem? |

QUOTE(b3x @ Nov 7 2017, 08:56 AM) Yes, it will solve the hissing problem when you connect it to macbook with USB, because the hissing means the macbook headphone jack is picking up noise from the mother board. Is this the cheapest solution?Thats what external soundcards/DAC are for; amplify the sound, away from noisy place like mother boards.  |

Can they drive IE80 easily?q1 brand new are about RM299, but no more stock in Malaysia it seems. can be found on ali too. Fiio K1 is not a bad choice too. RM199. Available on Starspicker and E1. If you dont need portability and more powerful than K1, can consider Fiio E10k. RM299. Very highly regarded. |
