krishen 2 Posted March 6, 2013 Thinking of buying a headphone amp and seen a few good reviews on the FiiO E11 amp. Just wondering if anyone has this one or if you have something else you'd recommend? I'll be using it with my iphone (on the tube) so just looking to improve the sound quality really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted March 7, 2013 The Fiio stuff is pretty good - I have one of their smaller cheaper units and it's held up really well and does make a noticable improvement to the sound. Go for it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimyJonz 10 Posted March 7, 2013 I've had both the Fiio E5 and the E11, great little devices and definitely add some extra oomph while maintaining quality. I'd go for the E11 if space isn't a issue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I assume you are really looking for something more powerful? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I assume you are really looking for something more powerful? Yes. Looking for some more power but maintaining quality. To be honest im not sure how good the iphone amp is. My sony player sounds noticeably better compared to the iphone (imo). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
