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!

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.

Yeah! Bro, a lot of funny reation in that thread! LOL!

My E9 just arrived few days ago. I will let it run-in for a while before posting my HI2050 review.

Thanks for asking!

Looking for a USB DAC to match my E9.
Won't consider E7 for its bright sounding according to some reviews.
Budget is less than RM400.
Any good suggestions?

Not actually.
E7 doesn't has the bass mode is also another reason(can't live without strong bass ).
Shall I upgrade my PC's sound card or what?
Thanks!
