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.

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.

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........

I'm not to sure, but you could check the hardware manager when you plug in your DAC.
How can it be disabled that easily, just from the volume icon?
