Reddit mentions of FiiO E09K High Output Desktop Headphone Amplifier and Dock for E07K or E17

You want portable or is this just at home?

If you're only at home O2/ODAC combo or the Magni/Modi combo.

Modi :http://schiit.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=0&products_id=14

O2 : http://www.jdslabs.com/item.php?fetchitem=o2full

ODAC (this is the combo and the odac by itself) http://www.jdslabs.com/storecat.php?fetchcat=5

If you want to be on the go as well at home I would say the E17/E09k combo. This way you can take the E17 on the go but dock it at home.

If you want to do away with a pricier DAC a behringer uca202 is an easy substitute.

I purchased these in August 2014. They are both still like new in box condition. I recently upgraded my desktop to utilize TRS/ XLR because the RCA connections created a static background with my powered speaker while playing games. I never had any issues while listening to music or watching videos. If you don't use a powered speaker, or if you don't play games through speakers, this is an awesome DAC/ AMP pair.

I did use the E17 in my car for about a year to act as a signal amplifier to my radio input. But I always kept it in the case so it doesn't have any scratches. They look brand new. The only issue I would mention is that the LCD screen does show a "burn in" because I have used it almost every day and so the text "USB IN" is visible on the screen. If you don't understand what I mean by LCD Burn In just ask and I will try to get a picture of it.

I'm having trouble finding the specs on FiiO's website, so I'm including these Amazon links for reference. When I get off work I'll try to do a little more digging.

I paid $248 for the pair of these, and I'm firm with my $150 price. Shipping will be $10 USPS Priority Medium Flate Rate. Paypal preferred, but I'll accept a check. They will ship once the check clears, which takes about 3-5 days.

I realize I'm new here, so I'm happy to use a middle man if that's a thing on this subreddit. I've done a few trades in both r/Starcitizen_trades and r/pkmntcgtrades

It is a Fiio e17 Dac and Fiio e09k.

Hi, I know absolutely nothing about audio power amplifier and came here in hope for some help.
I have a Beyerdynamic 770 Pro and want to fix an amplifier to it, I have checked most of FIIIO E09K ( http://www.amazon.com/E09K-Output-De.../dp/B008J26ZL4 ) but every time I check up reviews or YouTube videos then fiioe17 is always included.
I'm guessing it's because the E09K is not DAC included, but I dont really know what kind of difference it makes. I understand it converts the signals, but I dont get what that does in practic.

So I decided to look at amplifiers with DAC included and came up with either FIIO E10K or Hegel Super(this one is more expensive but there's a 50% discount on it).

Which one should I choose? All help is greatly appreciated.

The headphones are connected to my computer, I'm not going to use an amplifier for my phone or laptop. And I dont have a sound card

So would you recommend something like this?, then?

Just so you know, the HD600's really do need amplification, and you may find volume lacking when connecting directly to your phone or computer.

For a desktop configuration, I would suggest something like the FiiO E09K. It has an included DAC and will connect to your computer, also RCA inputs so you could connect any other normal stereo component.

What record player are you using? Do you already have an amplifier for it?

Is this the E07K + E09K combo? (http://www.amazon.com/Fiio-E07K-Portable-Headphone-Amplifier/dp/B00A9LHLQ6/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1417724915&sr=1-1&keywords=fiio+e7 + http://www.amazon.com/E09K-Output-Desktop-Headphone-Amplifier/dp/B008J26ZL4/ref=pd_sim_e_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=0H50ZT2069A3FRNX3AXW ?)

If so... Do they come with original packaging? I'm assuming 8-9/10 cosmetic condition and 10/10 functionality?

You want to separate the DAC and headphone amp and Speaker amp sections. Trying to find an all in one is never good.

I'd go Odac RCA version ($170) + FiiO E09K ($100) + Emotiva Mini X100 ($190)

That way you can use the 3.5mm and RCA outputs of the Odac with no splitters and feed both the E09K for headphones and the Mini X100 at the same time.

Have you considered the HD600's or HD650's? The 700's you should really listen to before you consider buying. They are a bit "unique" in their implementation and some people just can't get into the way it sounds (me included)

Tube Vs Solid state is a taste thing. If you can sample a few, do so. Just know tubes distort sound in a warm and loving way.. but are inaccurate. If you want accuracy you need a solid state.

If the amp didn't have to be HUGE the SMSL SA50 for $66 would also work

I'm trying to connect a FiiO E09K -- with active speakers and a sub -- to a Yamaha RX-V675 receiver via RCA cables. Is this possible, and if so, which connection do I use?

Background!

What I own so far:

• Logitech Z 906 5.1 Surround. Used for LCD TV, computer and gaming consoles for now.
  
• Audioengine A2 Powered Desktop Speakers (2) - Not in use. Bring stored for future.
  
• Fiio E09K Desktop Headphone Amp - Not being used. May connect to desktop rig eventually.
  
• Onkyo HT-S8409 7.1-Channel 3D Ready Network Home Theater System. Bought this with the intention of it being my home theater system. Probably outdated by now.
  
• Onkyo HT-RC430 5.1-Channel 3D Ready A/V Receiver - Not used prob going to sell.
  
• Sennheiser HD 595 headphones Main PC Desktop drivers.
  
• Sennheiser HD 600 Barely used! Want a good amp to use them with.
  
  What I'm looking to get/upgrade to:
  
  
• Better 7.1 system or at least receiver. I'm looking to prep with a decent 7.1 system for the future. Onkyo used to be really great but everyone keeps saying Denon is better.
  
• A really good tube amp that won't break the bank. The whole DAC/Amp thing confuses me. Would use it for audio out on my Desktop to Sennheiser headphones. Had my eyes on some stuff from Schiit such as the Lyr 3, Valhalla 2, but open to suggestions!
  
  Some extra info:
  
  
• Don't really care about internet streaming because I use Google Chromecast, Sonos etc that will hook into a receiver. Sonos does most everything but I have two Play:5's (old and new) with the 3.5 jack if needed.
  

My first and most idiot-proof MP3 player: Creative NOMAD MuVo 128 MB MP3 Player. Yes, an indomitable ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-EIGHT MEGABYTES. Absolute INSANITY.

Other keys features: no display, hot red color, plays MP3 AND WMA, and holds 4 whole hours of WMA music. What more do you need?

The icing on the cake? I knew nothing about audio formats, so I would convert all of my songs to the lowest possible bit-rate. I used to brag about how many songs I could cram on that thing. Cringe-worthy in retrospect.

As for giveaways, I would suggest this DAC or this amp.

Actually, just spend $17 more dollars and raffle this.

I've been thinking about buying a pair of semi quality headphones for a while now. The DT770 seems like the best choice for it's price but I'm very new to all of this so I don't really understand most of this stuff.

Budget: Around 250€, but for a good reason I can up it a bit.

Source: PC only. Probably.

Isolation: I'll use them solely at home so not too necessary. Though it would be great if it blocked out my roommates voice(from the next room) if we're in the same voice chat.

Type: Full-size.

Balance: A bit of bass is alright but I'd like them balanced.

Past headphones: Some cheap <50€ stuff..

Preferred Music: Any and everything.

So unless you guys have so brilliant ideas I think I'm going with the DT770, but I'd need some advice with the amplifiers. A friend of mine suggested the FiiO E07K but since I'll almost definitely will use it only on my desktop would something like E09K be a better choice? Like I said, I'm fucking clueless when it comes down to these so all help is appreciated.

Links for clarity:

E07K

E09K

Or both?

Thanks in advance.
