QUOTE(melvintcs @ Feb 1 2018, 10:34 AM) i get my fiio e10k yesterday and work really good with my Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro. but kinda disappointed when paired with Ostry KC06A. is it becoz impedance is low on ostry? anyway, if i buy lighting to USB female from apple store, can i use e10k on my iphone 6? No idea about Iphone 6. But i can confirm that Iphone X cannot work with E10k. No power to the DAC at all. But my fren's phone was using a different converter. From DAC : micro usb to usb >usb to Apple 30-pin > Apple 30-pin to lightning.

QUOTE(Nauts @ Feb 20 2018, 08:09 AM) Isn't the E10k a desktop amp? How much power is it going to draw from the iPhone? Want to connect to iPhone, get the Fiio Q1 mk 2 For some reason , i tested on quite a few phones for E10k: 1. Iphone X - tak jalan 2. Huawei Mate 9 - tak jalan (even with the latest Android Oreo update) 3. Xiaomi Mi5 - jalan 4. Samsung Note 8 - jalan 5. One Plus 3T - jalan 6. Samsung A7 - jalan All tested with a OTG adaptor with the provided usb cable. How much power draw ? I dont hv an idea.

Want to ask about portable DAC/Amp .
I own an Ifi Nano Black Label.
I want to know if Chord Mojo is a significant upgrade over the Ifi unit ?
My cheap gears: 1. Sony MDR-1A 2. Superlux HD330 3. Beyerdynamic DT 770 250ohm 4. V-Moda Crossfade M-100 5. TFZ Exclusive 5

QUOTE(ahmadfaizadnan @ Aug 21 2019, 10:45 AM) I used to own mojo and owning nano bl now. It's not reliable to use my memory for comparison but I remember that mojo being more detail and wider in soundstage. The vocal is sweeter too with mojo. But again, take my opinion with a grain of salt. Just chime in because no one is giving their opinion yet. Thank you for your reply. Then i want to know why did you sell off your chord mojo and keep the nano bl ? Any shortcomings that i need to know ? For the amp section of the nano bl , to me it is just nice only. Not much headroom to spare though.

Need some recommendations. Recently I bought a used Schiit stack ( Modi 2U + Magni 2U ) . Good price though.
I'm very happy with the amp. Lots of power. The DAC is very disappointing to me. Lack of resolution is the best to describe it.
I have another Ifi Nano Black IDSD, if I hook it via the Line out using a 3.5mm TRS to RCA cable to the Magni 2U, it sounds so much more detailed.
My question now is, should I get a Topping D50 and does it work well with my Magni 2U ? And is it a significant improvement over the Modi 2U ?

QUOTE(Here to buy @ Dec 7 2019, 09:34 PM) let me rephrase the question. do I need an amp for superlux hd330? I'm a Superlux HD330 owner here. This thing is 150ohms. No amp really make hamper its bass output and low volume. You need at least a cheap amp like a Fiio E10k also will do. Though bewarned, the stock earpad really crappy . It is cheaply made and too shallow for me. However, HD330 design share most of the stuff with Beyerdynamic DT770 ; earpads , headband can be interchangeable . So you can buy aftermarket earpad easily.

QUOTE(Here to buy @ Dec 11 2019, 11:13 AM) is Superlux HD330 far more neutral sounding than superlux hd681(filter mod + velour pad) and koss ksc75x? I have not tried both the headphones you mentioned. I have no idea what kind of sound signature you are looking, but HD330 is very musical type of headphone, not for monitoring definitely. Slight V shaped sound signature . The only complain I have with this thing is I wish the bass is tighter, but since this is a semi open back headphone, I have to live with that compromise. Sound stage is above average though. But then if your neutral sounding means you are looking for those studio monitoring headphone, then I will tell you to buy the Samson SR850 for roughly the amount of price as the HD330
