Hihi.. Just created a new thread here to discuss bout the new budgeted AMP which is review good by lotsa ppl around the world.
Below are some snapshot of my Fiio. Just received today from Hong Kong. lolx 
http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archives/20...mini-review.php Just tested it and wow.. it really improve the sound by 20 - 30% of the default max volume. The down side of this amp is we can't control its volume and have to control it via mp3 player or our media player itself. lolx |

I'll be receiving my 2nd FiiO in next week or so (was given a free one by a good friend). For the price, I'll say it is good buy; for the performance, it is just okay. It does boost the bass quite a bit and give an overall warmer sound, but detail does suffered a bit. I won't recommend anyone using it on serious auditioning, but it is a really fun gadget to have around and listen to regardlessly.

QUOTE(ben3003 @ Aug 23 2008, 11:10 AM) lost in details? If you look at the freq. resp. graph of E3, you'll know why I described it as less detail. You probably won't notice much if you are using a fairly detail headphone and not listening to it on a very serious manner. I can definitely tell the lost of treble on my Triple.fi 10, and it doesn't really work very well with my SE530 (synergy issue here). I'll say E3 works best w/ brighter sounding headphone. Headphone like EP-630 (which is already very warm and dark sounding) won't get much improvement from it. |

I'm currently using Crossroad XB and the sound is fine but the downpart is that there is like click sound if i change to different mp3. Wonder if this is the effect of the amp. Even at low volume, when changing song there is hissing sound behind. lolx

Just in case any one interested in the freq. resp., I generated one of my own.
Go-vibes USB DAC is the baseline, compare to Practical Devices XM3, Travagans Colors (dogbone), and FiiO E3 of course.  Also want to add that FiiO E5 is currently under development, and will have the below features: * Independent On/Off switch * Electronic volume control to eliminate hissing after long usage * Back clip * Build-in rechargeable Li-ion battery * USB charging circuit New functions include: * Output power increases 30% * Better SNR * Less distortion * Better resistance to electromagnetic interference E5 will be roughly the same size as E3, but slimmer. No release date yet. This post has been edited by ClieOS: Sep 11 2008, 10:04 AM |

More on E5: The release date is scheduled to be before Christmas, still no specific time yet. The demo set is currently being tested, and is claimed to have 'overall improved SQ, especially on soundstage and clarity. Original bass enhancement has been kept, but is optional to accommodate different headphone'

I notice that it amplify NOISE!! crazyly loud whitenoise in background on my workstation's audigy. me and my friend also got the same issue.
we get it from DealXtreme. Using E3 with Mylar Bijou, did not notice any noticeable difference except it sound really loud, hence the amplifying part. Sound Quality still haven't show up. |

It work best in some headphone which is bright one but it doesn't improve the overall SQ a lot. For ksc75 which has a very good synergy with E3. You will hear more body on bass and sound signal much warm compare to unamped ksc75.cheers. This post has been edited by xianyao: Oct 13 2008, 05:05 PM |

Here are some picture of the up-coming E5, which I got as a sample directly from FiiO. The final product would probably be ready for market in few short weeks.

The new E5 sound promising, if the power amp chip TPA6130A inside sounds up to 70% of it's bro TPA6120 (using inside Little Dot MK1), that would be quite awesome

For all of you who don't have a credit card or paypal, don't worry. Jaben is FiiO dealer at Singapore and they are definitely bringing in the E5.So if you are interested in E5, just pay attention to yuheng or walabies' bulk buy section. I am sure they can score some stock from Jaben once it is available.

If you are using an high impedance, low sensitivity headphone (like Etymotic ER4S or Head-Direct RE) on your DAP that doesn't have a line-out, an small amp on the headphone-out actually will help a lot. It isn't optimum, but it is still better than none. |

Just got my E5 Amp today....
Does it need sometime to run like "burning-in" too? So far it works quite well for my MP3 player, but when I pair it up with laptop + E5 amp + ATH-M50, noticed the SQ is not as good as ATH-M50 directly plug into the laptop. :S |

New Fiio E5 owner, pairing with Sansa Clip output to MX400. The bass boost on/off is good for applying to certain songs. For those long session of listening can turn off the bass boost.
Also good to have it on hand in future when one upgrade to high impedance earbud/IEM.  Is it normal to hear some amount of hiss when the volume is at maximum while no music is played? This post has been edited by meowid: Mar 18 2009, 10:20 PM |

i had highly expected to E5 once i play with it.... kinda dissapoint to it's performance.. by the way, if u seeking a cool looking, punchy bass, and loud amp, it's the way u go... seeking for details and big soundstage sound? this won't work for u....

For US$20 or less, you can't really expect any magic out of it, for sure.

So max cost spent on a DIY cable just need RM20, of course u gotta do it yourself else expect another RM40 - RM60 for soldering help from other But one thing for sure, this is going to be better than stock one This post has been edited by GodLuvSxS: Mar 20 2009, 06:17 PM |

got a e5 from a bulk...i am quite disappointed with it because i found
that e5 produce a louder hissing sound compared to e3... i am using Meizu M6 SP and Koss ksc75 to test it... is there anyway to reduce or eliminate the hissing sound ? |

which kind earphone should i pair with E5 to get the most of it...
cuz i don't find any noticeable improvement or should i say difference using the E5 amp...my earphone is razer m100. and the mini mini diy cable..how to get that.? or any link to the topic? This post has been edited by vincent_on9: Mar 28 2009, 01:26 AM |

just go to music & audio related accessories section... type DIY cable in Search then will come out a few forumers that do DIY cable
i did notice some improvement... like warmer sound from the singer but that depends on what materials you use for the cable... ask the person to suggest what cable you should use PS - don't expect a lot improvement from using better cable... just slight |

we shouldnt expect too much for this little amp. do you expect such a tiny amp to perform as well as those Ray samuels amp? however, for such a a very tiny amp and considering it's price, this would be the best choice out there.

now i am actually thinking of getting a new headphone but i haven't test this setup using my headphone AudioTechnica T-22 what do you think of this setup Meizu M6 SP -> switchcraft plug with SPC(silver plater cooper) -> fiio e5 -> AudioTechnica T-22 ?

most of the people use earphone for portable usage because headphone is kinda bulky earphone and headphone give different sound signature... thus it depends on which sound signature you like |

hello guys
am keen to get a portable amp but it does seems like there is a lot of complaints on hiss on this can and how its not powerful enough for cans. My questions are 1) what is the best next upgrade from FiiO E5 amp? 2) can a portable amp work with noise cancelling headphones? PS: im using SONY MDR NC 7 (latest value model) |

QUOTE(ah liew @ Mar 29 2009, 01:52 PM) so low output amp is for low impendance phones i presume Generally, yes. You will also have to consider the sensitivity of the 'phone. Below 100dB/1mW is slightly more difficult to drive, beyond 110d/1mW is considered very easy to drive. Some headphones, though have spec that don't seems to be hard to drive, still require a lot of current reserve to perform well. For example, AKG K701. |

So if my Klipsch Custom-3sensitivity is 115dB and the impedence is 32ohm, that means it's easy to drive? Do i still need to buy these amps if it's so? I checked my Shure E2G spec,the sensitivity is 105dB but the impedence is 16ohm. is it low or high? Or medium? xD

However, just because it is easy to drive doesn't means it won't improve upon amping. As I said before, some headphone benefit from big current reserve, and you can't tell that from spec. You will have to try it out to find out. Some amp also have coloration that might be favored by the user, like the bass boost in E3 and E5. |

Here is how things work in DAP:
Music data -> CPU -> DAC -> AMP -> headphone. DAC - Digital-to-Analog Converter, turns digital data to analog sound. AMP - Amplifier, amplify the signal (music) from DAC to different set of gain (kind of like volume control). In portable device, due to size restriction, the amp section is usually kept very simple and just enough to drive normal, easy to drive headphone. Some time, cheap SMD components (tiny resistor, capacitor, lousy chips) are used to cut cost and space - these result in a headphone signal that are sub-par. In order to extract as much sound quality as possible from the portable device, we use the line-out signal. Line-out means the signal is directly from the DAC, un-amplified (so it avoids all the sub-par components in the amp section). We connect the line-out to an external amp (which replace the function of the internal amp section), which hopefully will be a lot better than the internal amp and thus provide better SQ and more power to drive difficult-to-drive headphones. Of course, the assumption is the internal amp is not going to be as good as (or as powerful as) the external amp you are going to use, or else the improvement will be really minimum (or none). |

Okay. I just grab the Fiio E5 and I was thinking of changing the small and fine stock cable but I've no idea which one to choose and they're so many seller selling the DIY able out there at the music section. Will it shows improvement after changing the stock cable I wonder?
This one 
this one OR LOD 
this type better or this type

Question.
How long usually does the E5 take for it to be fully charged? Or just wait until the red light goes off regardless of the duration? |

QUOTE(hirari @ May 13 2009, 09:27 PM) Question. Depends on the output of the USB adapter / port, but usually it is less tha 3 hrs... and yes, till the right light goes off.How long usually does the E5 take for it to be fully charged? Or just wait until the red light goes off regardless of the duration? |

Now i am using this setup
Nokia N85 > FiiO E5 > Klipsch Custom-1 I did not notice any interference when there is incoming call which is good. No hissing sound Bass Boost add oomph to the music. The price is insanely cheap rm75...value for money.. |

E7 will be amp+DAC that can be used both portably or on desktop. E1 will be be a portable amp that has a unique design.
I actually have the early spec here for feedback purposes, but I have agreed not to share any detail. All I can say is, if you like E5, then you will definitely like the upcoming amps. Of course, they will also be very affordable. |

To minimize hiss, you need to keep the source volume high (assuming you are using headphone-out) and E5's volume low. This also helps to keep the dynamic range high (SQ is better this way).

My Fiio E5 doesn't seem to improve the sound quality by much though..However, when I push the bass control button to the middle, instead to either side, the sound really does improve a lot..
I guess it's my own impression only? If anyone tries it and feels it's true, please tell me! |

Nope, it's true, I've tried as you hv suggested last time and the SQ does improve a little bit, louder with heavier bass, but not sure whether it will damage the E5 or the IEM or not xD Fiio E5 only works with certain IEM IMO, like when I was pairing it with my Klipsch C-3, the SQ improved a lot, but with IE8, I don't feel any improvement at all. So in the end, sayonara Fiio E5 I guess it's my own impression only? If anyone tries it and feels it's true, please tell me!  |

Any owner of Philips SHP 8900? What am I expecting from Philips SHP 8900 + Fiio E5?
8900 must be driven with a headphone amp and it sounds quite good with PA2V2, the Canadian amp. I'm not sure if Fiio E5 would be equal or better. |

This has been posted on Head-Fi for a few days now, but I guess I post it here as well.
----------------------- I just received an email from our friends over at FiiO (Thanks, James) with more information regarding their new amps, and this time I get the go-ahead to share them with all of you. Here is the rendering of the new FiiO E1, an in-line amp for iPod. No production shot yet since FiiO has yet to make the final production model. It utilizes the power supply and line-out signal from iPod dock connection and incorporate an digital volume control as a remote. You can think of it as the union of E5 + LOD. The ETA is around end of August / early September. Not sure about the price yet.  Here are some pre-production shot of FiiO E7, FiiO upcoming USB DAC + AMP, note that this is not the final look (but it probably won't be too far off). Battery life is expected to be >100hrs, The 5 sides of the housing are CNC'ed aluminum (with harden acrylic on the last). ETA is estimated at December (likely around X'mas like the E5). There will be a dock planned for later release, which will enable remote control function and two line-out (one variable and one not) in case you want to connect it to speaker or use the DAC function only. E7 will have a special dock connector for docking and there is also plan for further accessories development, which will allow connection to desktop amp, mini Hi-Fi set, speaker and such. E7's price is estimated to be lower than US$100.     So, any thing else you want to know? |

QUOTE(ClieOS @ Apr 6 2009, 11:19 PM) Here is how things work in DAP: thanks CliesOS Music data -> CPU -> DAC -> AMP -> headphone. DAC - Digital-to-Analog Converter, turns digital data to analog sound. AMP - Amplifier, amplify the signal (music) from DAC to different set of gain (kind of like volume control). In portable device, due to size restriction, the amp section is usually kept very simple and just enough to drive normal, easy to drive headphone. Some time, cheap SMD components (tiny resistor, capacitor, lousy chips) are used to cut cost and space - these result in a headphone signal that are sub-par. In order to extract as much sound quality as possible from the portable device, we use the line-out signal. Line-out means the signal is directly from the DAC, un-amplified (so it avoids all the sub-par components in the amp section). We connect the line-out to an external amp (which replace the function of the internal amp section), which hopefully will be a lot better than the internal amp and thus provide better SQ and more power to drive difficult-to-drive headphones. Of course, the assumption is the internal amp is not going to be as good as (or as powerful as) the external amp you are going to use, or else the improvement will be really minimum (or none).  , you summarized everything into one short fine postthe best post i've seen in headphile after reading for weeks your explanation really does help me out a lot I'm a beginner, and my budget is about 1k+ for headphone + dac + amp still reading and trying to uderstand more hope that the FiiO E7 is really worth getting |

hey guys, I'm using a Sony E436F paired with Shure I2Cs (based on the E2C).
the Fiio E5 looks mighty interesting, but I want to know will it give a significant improvement to my current setup? sometimes I feel my current setup lacks a little depth, not that I'm unhappy with it but yea, itchy backside only would almost definitely get it if I know for sure it'll improve my quality. so would like to ask you guys for feedback and opinions thanks! |

does the E436F have a Line Out? if it doesn't, the E5 (actually most other amps too) may not give so much of a difference, because it already got processed by the opamps inside the player itself before reaching the amp. maybe the bass boost would help, but all other aspects....

i found out that E5 has effect on BA driver iem only, dynamic type iem is so so effect only. E3 is having better effect on the dynamic driver especially the bass.

Some update:
A black edition E1 will be released on the next batch. Here is the new rendering of E7: Along with some inner hardware changes and the face lift, the new casing is also slimmer than the previous prototype showed before.  This is the proposed E9 prototype. Basically it is desktop amp with an iPod / FiiO dock integration. You can either 1) dock you iPod / iPhone on E9 and feed it the line-out, 2) dock the E7 and give E9 the USB DAC function (E7 will feed line level signal from E7 DAC directly back to E9 amp section). You can think of E7 as E9's DAC module. or 3) Feed E9 a line-in analog signal, just like most other desktop amp. E9 will also feature a better, newly design amp section that is different from E7. E9 is scheduled for early 2010.  |

Hmm. For all the FiiO-using sifus here: I am planning to get a FiiO E5 amp because I just got a Beyerdynamics DT-231 and my lousy Samsung YP-U3 player can't drive the headphones well at all-- have to turn the player volume up to max to hear anything like decent volume, which seems to be screwing with sound quality from the player. Will having the E5 improve matters? Also, I bought a Sansa Clip+ already, but have to wait until next year to get it from my friend in US. Should I use the E5 with the Clip+, will I get better results as well? Thanks!

E5 should be able to drive your DT-231 good enough and would synergy quite well with your sansa clip+

Hey guys, im using an ipod touch 3G with Shure SCL2. Does including a Fiio E5 make much difference to the sound quality/detail? or it only makes it louder?

I read that those expensive headphone amps have very low impedances so that it can have higher damping factor for supposely better sq. Googling around gave me some infos like ipod's output impedance to be 5ohm. I read that as general rule load impedance should be 10 times more than the source impedance so that the amp have better control of the drivers. What I can conclude is that other than amplifying the sound to suitable listening volume, the amp can provide lower output impedances to improve sound quality especially on lower impedance earphones/headphones, is this correct?
What's the impedance output of the Fiio E5? Does the impedance output of this amp affected by the input impedance(since E5 have preamp and opamp inside)? |

QUOTE(coolice @ Dec 31 2009, 01:38 PM) how about the E7? E7 shipping date depends on how fast FiiO can receive the PCM2706 USB receiver chip from Texas Instruments. It is TI slow shipping that delays the production, FiiO actually already has everything else finished and ready to go full production. Now FiiO is trying to source from other distributor enough chip to launch a small initial batch, but PCM2706 isn't something electronic suppliers usually stock in big number. The current estimation is still some time b/w later January to early Feb. |

Finally, I can found some difference after I put Apple Lossless songs into my iPod. I don't know how to describe. When I plug with my 3.5mm line out cable, the E5 makes all the sound mix togather. But after I change to LOD cable, the sound become better when I play the lossless audio. However, the lossless audio are even worse than mp3 audio if I plug my E5 with a regular 3.5mm line out cable. Thats mean, the LOD cable did some improvement on lossless audio but not so much on mp3 audio.Now even I can listen the higher sound quality music with my ipod. its ok, i will keep the lod cable at this length because the cable is order from UK. I can clip the E5 on my clothes.

I have got my iBasso D2+ Boa today. However, that amp is too big and its only does improve on the fidelity but I can't listen much on bass. Most of my songs are delivering too much of fidelity and make me so tired to listen on it. Besides, my iPod was also set an EQ at Electronic.
I'm still prefer to my E5 because I am usually listening to korean dance-pop songs which are more depending on the bass side. Besides, my E5 is good enough for listening dance music. Since I does not need much on high frequency but I need much on low frequency. |

if you use the normal mode, you will lose the bass that's below 100Hz. it's as much as -1dB at 30Hz
I'm using Eterna without the E5 now. |

If you are not, Eterna alone should be more than enough - E3 and E5 don't have really good synergy with Eterna anyway. |

will the e5 improve the volume of PL-30 without degrading music quality?
i need to push my sansa clip plus+ to about 70% volume in order to get it to the volume i want and that is quite a heavy load for the battery... thinking of getting the e5, any advise on that? |

This happens because all Ipods do not have an advance limited/pre-amp function to control the initial amplitude of the sounds... In short, if you use an Ipod, dont use the EQ that comes with it... However, the first day when I get my D2+, my first impression is really disappointed during that moments because its delivering a weak bass and too much of high frequencies. Now it is getting better than my E5 already. The bass already came back to its position and it is getting more elastic with not too boomy. The high frequencies are getting more details. The mid frequency which is the vocal really deliver a very good sound. The overall low-mid-high is quite balance. |

I'm playing most of my songs in apple lossless format in my ipod shuffle using the stock Earphone. I'm planning on changing the headphone to KSC75.
Will it be any difference if I used fiio amp with it? Is the difference marginal? |

well,i tried with my audio technica A900 headphone,also not much difference.while E3 just make the bass more boomy.
to be honest,i start to think that E1 is somewhat............... useless.maybe its just me.maybe its just my audio gadget.coz E3 seems like more "functional". and i dislike how it change my ipod navigation.where all the control are gone.and i only can next/back/increase volume/decrease volume by using the control on E1.while even my ipod touch's volume button also inactive after using E1 |

I think you should consider getting the Go-Vibe Derringer instead.

What E3 does is adding a lot of bass and warm to the music, but also take away quite a bit of treble and detail. It fair well on analytical headphone cause it makes it more musical, especially if you are not an analytical listener. If you are, E3 isn't going to be of any help. If you already have bass heavy headphone that are not very analytical, E3 will do more harm than help.
E5 is better in the sense that you get to choose whether you want the bass boost on or not, and of course it also has a much better internal than E3 so it is an overall improvement at such a small price. The down side is of course it is a warm amp even when the bass boost is off. The ideal situation of amping is 'wire with gain' - that is, you want more power and control with as little coloration as possible from the amp. I often find people thinking coloration of portable amp as an improvement. Personally, I would think it is more of a preference rather than an improvement, like people preferring EQ to add more spice to the music but it doesn't actually add more quality to the music nor adding any more power or control. E1 is what I consider to be the better of the three. It does what an amp is suppose to do, add more power and control without adding much of its own character. That is what people refer as being 'transparent' - it is there to do its job but has minimum impact to the sound signature. I would think if you can't feel any change from adding E1 to an iPod, it is either 1) your headphone doesn't benefit much from the extra power and control, 2) your headphone isn't good enough to reveal the difference, 3) you are unable to detect the change even it is there, 4) you don't think the change is that significant, or 5) combination of any of the first 4 factors. You should know that, amping is not some magic trick that can turn water to wine. More than often it is a refine of sound rather than an significant improvement. The very real fact is, a $1000 portable might only be 3% to 5% better than a $500 amp. In the audio world, price usually doesn't linear to performance increment. The benefit of an amp is often not in-plain-sight unless you have the time to discover it. It is often easier for those who has the experience to notice the difference which can very well be nothing to another person, as it takes time to train the ears to pick up micro detail. Even for an experienced person, what constitutes as 'significant' is still very much a personal judgment. At the end, it can be that you don't need an amp at all, or perhaps what you want is a much better amp. It is an process of trial and error to find what suits your taste and the synergy of your rig. |

ipods are not exactly a good source.
Decent but not really that fantastic. I'd prefer the E5 because of the versatility of the ICs used and the charging + bass boost option - i keep mine off most of the time, actually all the time. So far stock the stock IC is down right shit but then again its a beginner's amp. You pay for what you get, so if you're looking to upgrade the IC just move on to a decent amp.

hi guys.. im currently using Fiio E5 with my bijou 3. both popular with their bass level. im not really satisfy with the bass bijou 3 can pump initially. then bought a E5 to boost it further.
what i can say it like about 5% increase in bass boost for me. my ear din detect anything comfortable, still feel the light bass only. anyway, heard again. E5 3.5mm to 3.5mm doesnt really that good. and i can notice hissing sound in background all the time. so would like to ask that, any pro can test my bijou 3 n E5 is it really that low bass compared to urs.. or even better i would like to try to change the default 3.5mm to 3.5mm connector to a better cable. anyone can help me on this? Added on March 14, 2010, 2:52 amn oops, i only got xperia x1 as my music source. mayb thats the major problem. but hope my setup can try to decrease background noise.

If a 4-component-setup (file + player + amp + headphones) hisses... and when change one of the component and no more hiss... is this means that particular component cannot synnergise well within the setup?

During the weekend, I tested an E1 demo unit at shop with both iPhone 3GS and iPod 30GB Video White (5th Gen) for a short while. I can hear the obvious sonic improvement with the already very good iPhone but got some problem with iPod 5G. Is there any known compatibility issue with iPod 5G? Thanks.

QUOTE(danieltan @ Jun 7 2010, 11:39 PM) wonder any1 got compare between fiio e7 with fireye I amp... the design fiio e7 make my eyes drop out The closest compatible in terms of performance should be the Fireye II instead of the I. In form, the E7 makes the Fireye looks crude. In controls, again the E7 makes the Fireye looks ancient. |

Not only in Audiophile, but audio in general, you need to hear each and every bit of the product you would like to purchase, just like most audio shops or musician shops where the demo the TV, the all-in-one speaker system, the guitar, amplifier plus anything about audio in general, you need to hear...Just imagine if you were blind, and you have a disability to look how an ipod looks like, then it would be irrelevant to buy an ipod just because it looks cool according to the salesman or your friend right? So if you were blind and unable to read the specs or see the aesthetics, the only reason you would buy a mp3 player or Ipod is because how does it sound...Trust me when I say, blind people usually have better listening ears than the average perfect vision.. Test the equipment, because without listening for yourself, all you can see is only numbers, and fancy words such as warm, high, muddy, aggressive, bloated, and many more jargons which doesn't really tell your ears what you really need to hear.... |

hi guys,
i was considering the option of matching E3 to a USB DAC and output to a crossroad mylarone IEM.. any idea on its improvement/comments? I cant test myself at respective stores cause i'm not based in KL thanks |

QUOTE(capiche @ Oct 29 2010, 01:58 PM) hi guys, Yes it will works. But i would recomend you changing the cable to get the best out of it because of its poorer quality. Any non stock cable will do. DIY canare, hardware shop cable (I don't think you can find any short cable there), or any other cable. Just change it then you'll get a much better sound. What USB DAC are you using? Does it contain any amp? I think that adding the E3 amp will smooth out those harsh pure signal from the USB DAC into a more enjoyable sound.i was considering the option of matching E3 to a USB DAC and output to a crossroad mylarone IEM.. any idea on its improvement/comments?

Agreed. But i would say cable is still the last part to upgrade and should only be upgraded when it has become a limit to your setup. Just upgrade your source such as DAC and amp until reaching ur budget allowed then change the cable to improve the setup. Cable improvement to me is still small as compare to changing source, amp and headphone. So if on a budget some cheap diy cable will do fine until those cable has become a limit of your future setup.

@Akuma no Hana, the USB DAC i planned to use is the one currently sold by chchyong89... here, http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1578406. ya, i've sourced few sellers on audiophile to customized a canare/neutrik modules
@E1 - AKG, E7 is rather off my budget though.. and because I sometimes have my iPod with me so was thinking maybe can find a light amp which can be carried around.. and would like to ask all audiophiles maestro here, if i were to custom a 3.5 male to 3.5 female (then connected straight to my IEM).. will it improve audio quality? thanks for all the prompt responses. appreciated!This post has been edited by capiche: Oct 29 2010, 06:58 PM |

Just be careful not to break those soft part when connecting your dac. Those connector are very fragile better find some casing for it soon. And adding those usb cable together will be worth it RM3 only. For the cable i just found one cheap cable. And if you still haven't bought the cable i think this 1 will be great for budget minded people. RM25 for 15cm is enough. Don't go any further than 15cm since you will use it with ipod. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1568734@E1 - AKG, E7 is rather off my budget though.. and because I sometimes have my iPod with me so was thinking maybe can find a light amp which can be carried around.. and would like to ask all audiophiles maestro here, if i were to custom a 3.5 male to 3.5 female (then connected straight to my IEM).. will it improve audio quality? thanks for all the prompt responses. appreciated!I would suggest E5 instead of E3. Reason is that you do not need to buy AAA battery so often unless you have rechargeable AAA battery lying around. And E5 got volume control which is very useful indeed especially connected to the USB DAC. Most people said both sound very identical so you should not find any issue with E5. Running your ipod through LOD instead of headphone jack sound better. No it will not help improve since your IEM cable will be limiting it. Don't care what marketing term those people use better don't get it. If you want to custom it then you will have to custom it straight till the soldering on the earphone itself. But the cost might be high and hard to get thin wires for iem. |

@E1 - AKG, for my iPod setup i just wan easy stuff cause normally i bring tonnes of stuff along the journey.. so i was wondering mayb a e3 would suffice.
@Akuma no Hana, haha... ya i planned to made an acrylic box for it or some DIY stuff.. price is a major concern, so most prob i will go with e3.. oh i see.. just as i thought.. cause i was wondering since IEM has it own impedance.. so hooking onto a cuztomized cable wouldnt bring benefit.. anyway sifuus, is there really diff between a canare/neutrik setups compared to cat5 setup? (edited: price for canare is rather 'pretty') thanks for the input. appreciated This post has been edited by capiche: Oct 30 2010, 12:35 AM |

Just got my e5 today... To be honest, not really that impressed by it... I plug it in with my Samsung S5 Mp3 player, it increased my trebles and bass, making the highs very sharp n piercing... Well you can say it's an increase in clarity but still I prefer the original sound... Overall, I think it's good for Mp3 players with bad EQ and SQ like iPods...

QUOTE(Inspiralution @ Nov 25 2010, 01:17 PM) if u plan to use it with your iphone only u should get the e1,less cable to bring around but no bass boost Yea well initially I thought I could use it with myMp3 player as well.. The amount of cable is the same what.. If use the LOD I dun need to use the 3.5-3.5mm plug |

QUOTE(eugenechiuu @ Nov 25 2010, 03:06 AM) Just got my e5 today... To be honest, not really that impressed by it... I plug it in with my Samsung S5 Mp3 player, it increased my trebles and bass, making the highs very sharp n piercing... Well you can say it's an increase in clarity but still I prefer the original sound... Overall, I think it's good for Mp3 players with bad EQ and SQ like iPods... Something to do with your headphone/IEM/earbud. Fiio benefit those bigger can, you gain nothing if your earbud is already very easy to drive. |

My portable headphones system is
IPOD Shuffle + FIIO L2 cable + FIIO E5 + PHILIPS SHP8900 headphones All songs rip into Apple Lossless Format from my music cds. This system sounds great, although E5 lacks a little bit power to drive my headphones! But I am still happy with it. At least I can listen to my favourite songs while travelling, without sacrifice a lot in sound quality. Really! |

Cheap amp will only spoil the listening pleasure. u need something better. since the IE7 is a bit bass heavy...y not consider an amp which emphasizes the mids and highs. Drop by Jaben. They can help u get what u need. |

Just wondering if anyone compared the E7 with an Ibasso D4 Mamba?
I've got myself a pair of SR125i's a few weeks back. I have a Sansa clip and I've been using it on my laptop most of the time (home use anyways) and I find the output from my laptop to be decent......... UNTIL......... my mate came over and plugged in his gamma2. Sound felt much more detailed and 'full'. Soundstage seems to open up as well. So I've been looking around for alternatives. Was looking at the D2+ and it looks great! Not sure how it sounds but reviews seem to compare it with the E7. And the E7 looks great too in my opinion! and at its price, I guess its a real bargain.After further scouting I found the D4 mamba which...... is gonna stretch my budget a little but I was just wondering if it won't be much of an improvement over the E7? I've never tried any of them though and I'm stuck in the UK. I basso products cost an extra arm compared to Msia but the E7 is just a little more expensive |

I bought in E9 because my E5 lacks some power to drive TAKSTAR HI2050 headphones.I still prefer E5's BASS BOOST mode so I decided to use E5 as a "bass booter" since E9 does not has this feature. Result? Much better than I aspected! Very fast, rich, tighter bass come out from my headphones. E9 not only has more power but much better control compare to E5. |

Is e5 good enough to power up Monster Studio headphone? Will it make a big difference?
Also, my laptop is giving me white noise when I listen to my headphone because apparently, it is a noisy source. So, should I go for e5 or e7 when I listen through the laptop? Cheers. |

For E5 and E3, it sound very similar, one with recharged battery features where one are AAA battery operated. However, the drawback of E1 is where it will consume your phone internal battery. But it does really make it sound better for your headphone. For me i think E3 and E5 will not be good for you. Since you may just go to E1. |

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.

QUOTE(d3m0n @ Apr 1 2011, 06:02 PM) 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! 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 This post has been edited by noobandroid: Apr 5 2011, 08:30 PM |

These are the 2 ways you can use the E7.usb to pc -> e7 -> end output and not usb to pc + e7 to audio source-> end output 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. |

QUOTE(d3m0n @ Mar 31 2011, 11:57 AM) 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! Just got mine today and I was about to type the same thing 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. 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 This post has been edited by iitadakimas: Apr 6 2011, 02:55 PM |

But 320 mp3 and FLAC certainly blow the sound at full force even at 35. Seriously, 40 is pretty loud to me. |

Lol, the never ending journey of audiophiles. And they didn't simply just strip out the DAC off the E7 and call it the E11, they actually improve on the amp. So not only are we gonna get it cheaper, amp wise, it's going to be better! Planning on getting this thing to power up my Grado SR60i. I dunno why people say these are easy to drive. In fact, because of the low sensitivity(and low impedance), it actually demands more volume on my source to match the volume of my IEMs, and this is in a quiet room. Not wanting to drain the battery of my HM601 too fast, and also wanting a bit of low-end freq punch, I thought I'd give this a go once they come out. |

so now with my new (2nd hand) X-Fi extremeGamer on my PC, do i actually still need the Fiio headamp to pump the performance of my HD681? or just use the SC out to the phone will be enough?

I'd say if it sounds good, why bother with an amp? You'd be using it more as an equalizer rather than to drive it better.

There will be a difference with an amp but it is subjective to your preference. |

And there's the new DAP that Fiio is cooking up, when is that going to come out?
If it sounds close to the HM-601, then maybe........ This post has been edited by tunertoobe: May 6 2011, 10:28 AM |
