Hello audiophiles,. i just want to post a query, i know this might sound too Noobish coz really that's what i am.. Just recently bought FiiO E11 and im wondering whether to use the L9 connector or the 3.5 - 3.5mm connector that came along with the device.. although through much googling ive been informed of the fact that the L9 bypasses the internal amp of the Ipod or any iOS device and the 3.5-3.5mm does not, but i need expert information regarding this as to the pros and cons, thanks..

in my opinion bai and this is based on my personal sound preference since i used the 3.5mm connector with my e11 before i stumbled on reviews and articles regarding the utilization of the L9 over the 3.5mm connector that goes with the E11 and for me it does provide a sound better than i expected compared to the 3.5mm connector of the e11 for me its not a bad investment

Ok master, thank you for the response, will buy the L9 tom.. Tnx

I have only my FiiO E11 to pair with my sony mdr 7506 and of course an ipod, couldnt complain, although the low-end on my headphone is not too thick, but im not a basshead anyway so its still fair... If id have the resources id go extreme like all you guys..

wow MDR 7506. the younger brother of the legendary MDR V6. Classic!

Yes it will bypass the internal amp so it can send out a clear signal straight from the DAC to your external amp of choice.

PROs - definitely improves sound quality (how much, depends on your amp)
CONs - ipod/iphone specific only, you will still need the stock L2/L8 if you have other non-apple sources.

I was told that some apple products(new ones) dont output true DAC?

They also have Audio Technica there. Mostly Bose and low end Senn cans but they can order higher end models if you want. I go there all the time kay HT guy man ko and i personally know the owner. Same owner sa Soundroom sa SM. Nibalhin sila from Banilad (Cebu CircuitCity) to Ayala (Classic HiFi)

naa toy naka ingon nako dri na basin pwede mo reterminate ang circuitcity, naa maka confirm ani? kay duol2x na lang diay kay ayala na man diay sila. asa dapita sa ayala?

i dont know what you mean by true DAC but what i know is all Apple's DAC's either the Wolfsons (old ipod models) or the Cirrus Logics (newer ones) are only limited to 24/96 instead of the full 24/192. thats also why external portable DACs are all the rage these days
