subzero Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Greetings! I own a nice pair of Sennheiser's, and I've started to get interested in headphone amps. For reference, I use a laptop with a tinny soundcard. I've been looking at the: FiiO E7 USB DAC and Portable Headphone Amplifier and the FiiO E9 Desktop Headphone Amplifier and Dock This is going to be a really stupid question, but I don't understand the E7 and E9 relationship. What is the point of mounting the E7 on the E9? It seems like the E7 is pretty great by itself, no? What is the benefit of having both of them? I'm sorry if I'm yet another amateur that has come along and is ruining the forum. Thanks in advance! Link to comment
wrcwill Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 The E7 is a DAC/Amp, the E9 is just an amp (a more powerful one). So when docking the e7 on the e9 you get the DAC from the e7, and the amp from the e9. Denon DT1560/Dacmagic -> Nad S100 > Nad S200 > B&W Nautilus 804 Link to comment
