fiio e7 + fiio l3 (lod), ur natural choice

Bro... if you are using solo maybe you should try a more powerful amp. Or else your solo will be left there crying. It deserves more...
There is a saying that your amp has to be 1.5x times the price of your music equipment.

Wah! 1.5x omg..E1-AKG is recommend E7, around the same price range, any other model?

thrs no hard & fast rules in matchg amps & hdphones, thr r ppl who loved beats by dre & thr r others who thinks its ovr priced.

When is the E11 coming out?

Just want to throw my support in for Fiio. Great amps (great player, too, right?). Can't wait for their upcoming DAP.

Hopefully before end of April. Might get a demo unit in next few weeks.

vry much lookg fwd 2 ur review

E7 new user reporting in. Item still in the box, haven't test it out yet. Can wait to go back home and rip that mother!

Edit : Ok, I'm currently testing out the E7. It blew me away! Holy crap this thing is awesome. I'm not a seasoned audiophile, in fact I just started my journey. But after plugging in the E7 to my laptop, my God.. Everything is more detail, the music seems more energetic (powerful/aggressive/whatever-the-heck). Definitely worth my money.

presume tat u r using d usb out

Yes Sir. Usb out, headphone out. Right? I can really hear the difference bro. My music seems "weak" without the E7. Sounds kinda weak. But with the E7, I need say no further. Even though I never heard of any other Amp/DAC but this thing really puts a smile on my face!

Hey guys, i'm using a Shure SRH440 with an iPod Nano 4th gen (may upgrade to Cowon S9).
Can anyone recommend me a good amp?

so it means the audio can be transferred direct form pc to end phone like this:

usb to pc -> e7 -> end output

and not

usb to pc + e7 to audio source-> end output

I've no idea what you meant. These are the 2 ways you can use the E7.

lappy soundcard(speaker out etc) -> E7 Line In -> E7 headphone out.

In this case, the E7 works only as an amp. No DAC involved.

===

lappy -> E7 USB In -> E7 headphone out.

With the USB In, your laptop/PC soundcard isn't used. E7's DAC is used instead. Now E7 works as both a DAC and amp.

If you want DAC only function, you'll need the L7. Don't think it's available at Malaysia yet though.

Just got mine today and I was about to type the same thing I'm actually surprised it's so light.
There's something I wanna ask, I use the E7 mainly on my laptop (with usb), so I was wondering if I should turn usb charging off every time it's fully charged to keep the battery life?

And another thing is, when I use the 3.5mm jack as input, the volume is very low

Spot on brother.

Not sure, for me I just leave it as it is. Wouldn't make much difference I believe.

Ermmm, other than 3.5 what are you using?

Using usb now. I just plug 3.5 to test, and I have to max out the volume to 60.

Erm, what type of file are you playing? Low bit mp3 might sound soft. But 320 mp3 and FLAC certainly blow the sound at full force even at 35. Seriously, 40 is pretty loud to me.

This may sound a little insulting but is the volume of the headphones' out of your PC turned to a reasonable level

Hmm now that you mention, the volume on my laptop is the usual volume I used to listen, I tried max out the volume on my laptop and it sounds exactly the same on usb

Most of my songs are in 320, haven't try flac yet. 20 for me is quite loud enough hehe.

And do you guys turn the keylock on? I turn it on cos I don't want the screen to stay on.
But it's pretty annoying every time I adjust the volume I have to unlock it
