Does anyone know if this is the same "insides" of a Fiio L9 but with different connections? trying to decide which to buy. Thanks!!

The difference in audio is that the L9 uses Oyaide ic and makes the sound more full/warm. Otherwise as others have stated the L11 obviously using different connection and allows to charge your device while connected.

The L11 is the same as the other FiiO LODs except that it adds the mini USB port for charging your idevice while listening through the LOD. Also, you will need a 3.5mm to RCA plugs (or other) stereo cable if you are connecting to headphone amp or other stereo line level input components.

If I were you I'd get this one. It allows you to charge or iPhone or iPad while you listen I had the L9 for a while but lost it. I like this much better, they are pretty much the same thing.

The internals might be similar, but it depends on how you want to use it. If you want to plug your iPod into an amp then headphones into the amp, the l9 is the way to go. If you want headphones directly into the line out then the 11 is better. The fiio e1 is a better option for plugging headphones directly into the line out because you get volume control, which the l11 does not offer.

The Fiio L11 is a LOD which has a mini USB charging port in addition to the Line Out port. The L9 only has an attached Line Out Cable.

Since the H6 has pretty low impedance (30 ohms), you have many choices of headphone amps. From Fiio, you can try either E10 or E17. I have both and feel the E17 is better. If you want something really small, check out Audioquest dragonfly at AudioQuest DragonFly USB Digital to Analog Converter (Black) Version 1.0 (Discontinued by Manufacturer) Awesome deal at $99.

I wouldn't get this. Look into the smsl or muse amps. I have a lose connection on mine and the right speaker goes out on occasion and the headphone jack does hiss. I regret getting this one but don't have the money to find a new one yet.

i've heard that there is a ipod adapter that connects through the input where you normally charge the ipod but not sure if it's compatible with your ipod model since i myself have an android phone. however, you can hook up your earphones to the fiio e17 and from the fiio e17 there is a separate aux exit that you would need a separate aux cable (amazon $3 to $4) would go to your ipod, cell phone, pc, laptop or tablet where your earphones normally go.

I actually have 2 connected and I can't tell a difference. It still sounds good actually. Unless your an audio connoisseur, then you might be able to tell a difference but I certainly can't. Hope this helps. They may sell a longer one too though.

The V-90 is in a different higher league compared to the 1.2, to appreciate it fully you will need full size speakers and seperate amp. You may consider a Fiio X1 and connect it by audio lead. The Fiio line out mode is very good but needs about 100 hours run in time before sounding its best.

Fiio has come out with the DYI ver which is the same as the E12 except you can open it up the change the battery and the amps inside. If you remove the 2 screws on the side of the E12 it will open the same way giving you access to the battery inside. You can then replace. However at your own risk.

Will the Bluetooth will work with my Fiio E17 DAC? I use the DAC with my iPod Shuffle--the ear bud output of the Shuffle connects directly to the DAC through a DAC cable, and then you plug your ear buds into the DAC. This bypasses the iPod's internal DAC. How does the Bluetooth work then, since there is no cables involved? I'd love to have noise cancelling with the DAC too!

I've had the X3 and now the X5, no comparison between the two. I have my X5 paired with the Fiio e12 diy, that is the ultimate.

My two cents..I'm not sure how good the internal DAC/AMP in the Macbook is, but as for my HP DM4, I found the FiiO E7 to be of lesser quality than the sound card I already had in this laptop.

I own this. The V90 is a much better delivery platform for USB and Digital. It is a true DAC. It was also added to the Sterophile List of recommended components.

M. Furukawa: You're the only person I've read on this subject (and I've read hundreds of pages on Head-fi and elsewhere) who contemplated a "separate mic dongle" with the Westone ES cable. If you went that route, how did it work for you? People talk about having to "sand them down" to make them fit.

I don't really use the DAC part of mine. I use it to connect a better quality DAC that has no USB capability to a computer. It does this very well, and the $1000 plus DAC I'm using sounds light years better than the computer's internal DAC, of course. Given the low price, low weight, and small package of the Muse, I don't see how it could be a high quality DAC. It's the analog end of a DAC that determines its quality and sound, and analog quality is heavy, expensive, and bulky....power supplies, sizable capacitors, etc.

I do own the Audio Technica M50 and it dose have a great impact on the sound. I recently returned the fiio because to me I hear no difference listening through my Galexy S5. The built in DAC in the phone sound good as with the Fiio. To me the only advantage the Fiio has is the built in amp alone. Other then that it sound the same. One thing I notice is that when you use it with the smart phone and listen like Pandora, you will get EMI interfaces from time to time, especially when recieving signal. Again, recommended head phones? M50 OR M50X you will be impressed with the sound. Beats is all cosmetic and its not detailed when it comes to sound quality.

Hell Yah! This cable fits nice and Tight and also enables a lot better Audio Quality as well! I purchased this cable for use with an MP3 and a FIIO E11 Amp! This is a Decent Cable!. and very well made at that It's worth it's price. PS: just make sure you push it in good for a good connection!. Good Luck.

The E09K is just an amplifier. If you're unhappy with what your soundcard outputs you need a DAC to better massage the sound file into sweet, sweet analog sound. The E09K is an amplifier, so it takes analog sound and basically makes it louder. This model can be coupled with the E17 which acts as both a pre-amplifier and a DAC and produces some really nice sound. The E17 takes a digital input from USB or Optical and outputs it through a headphone jack. That's the setup I use and I love it.

sorry I'm not to tech savvy. I had a friend help and I didn't know much of what was going on. I do have a separate amp, which is an inuke nu1000sp, made by a behringer. I have 3 total, 1 each on three chairs. they do work really good, especially compared to the higher price ones. if I can find more info I will let you know.
