User questions & answers

Question:	I want to use this for my Audio Technica M50xs. Worth it
Answer:	Yes
Question:	What's the Difference with the E10K & E10? I loved my E10 but it's starting to fail, so I'm looking for a new one
Answer:	Yes, unfortunately.
Question:	What outputs does it have? I see only one headphone out (small jack). Does it perhaps have RCA in the back
Answer:	I have mine connected to my headset and the back is connected to my speakers. Sound will play from both if you have both devices on
Question:	so you plug this in any usb port and voila?, how do you eq
Answer:	That's what I use the Dragonfly (Black) for. I expected a subtle improvement, but found it to be night and day! The cheapo DAC and output stage circuitry that's built into the laptop was really limiting the sound quality.

User questions & answers

Question:	can you connect you phone and headphones at the same time
Answer:	Sorry to say only one device at a time. It uses Bluetooth to connect. You have to slide and hold up the right button on the side of the Audio Technica device to put it in paring mode. You find AT-PHA50BT on either your phone or any other Bluetooth device you are trying to connect to. Once you select the AT-PHA50BT on your equipment, the Audio Technica device connects that that device. In order to change what you are paired to, you have to slide and hold up the right button on the side of the Audio Technica device again. That will loose your connection to your first device. I hope this helps.
Question:	Is the instruction manual in English? Thank you
Answer:	I only had this briefly, I had to return my unit that was faulty. The instructions were all in Japanese.
Question:	I have a samsung s8+ and bose qc35 ii's will this device allow full functions of the phone and bose headphones
Answer:	Dont know about those forward/backward buttons since I never use them. However the sound quality is superb and casing sturdy. Battery seems to be rather long lasting as well.
Question:	What are the actual dimensions (in inches)? Amazon says 7.5"x4.5"! Is that correct
Answer:	Hello.Here is the dimention from maker site.Dimensions (excluding protrusions) H69 × W39.6 × D10.3mmThank you very much.

User questions & answers

Question:	what are the differences between the 500x and the 700x? And how are these with movies
Answer:	They are the best headphones I've ever owned. The only difference is what drivers are actually used, I've never owned the 700x but I'm sure they would more than likely be sufitient.
Question:	are they good for gaming
Answer:	I added an Antlion to mine and it works great for gaming. The positional audio is solid. If you want ground-rumbling bass, well, don't use a headset. My sounds card has a good EQ and the bass and overall sound is excellent.
Question:	Does the cord have the option of detaching (unplugging) from the headset
Answer:	Yes, if you want to mod it
Question:	How does the sound quality on these compare to the ath-m40x? If you had to choose between the two for piano practice/orchestras, which would you pick
Answer:	As the m40x is closed, I would imagine your question is about recording and monitoring? A closed monitor headphone would suit that objective very well. If you meant you were planning on enjoying music in a quiet and comfort of a room somewhere the ad700x will definitely open your ears and blow your mind a bit if you've never had an experience with open headphones before. Closed for monitoring or noise area, open for quiet and most enjoyable sound. Closed may have better bass.

User questions & answers

Question:	I see the d1 has usb input. i don't have a sound card in my pc, do i still need to get one if i get d1 to improve the sound quality? thanks
Answer:	I think the answer is two part: (1) yes it will work with high resolution flac files, at least with my test over usb. I downloaded a test (24bit/352.8kHz) file and everything was fine. (2) As alx already stated, valid sampling rates are 32/44/48, so I believe down/up sampling will need to occur with other sources.
Question:	Does this DAC require LPCM or PCM in S/PDIF input signal. Most TV has option to output in PCM format but not all. My LG DU-37LZ30 has DTS/AC-3 output
Answer:	I'll test this when I get home. I haven't tried to use the toslink port on my DAC, but I'll follow up within the next five or six hours.Edit: I can only conclude that the USB connection is the only input and that the optical is out. I connected this unit via TOSLINK to my PC's optical port, and then connected the USB cable to a USB power adapter in a power strip to guarantee that no actual input is running over USB. After connecting headphones to the 3.5mm out jack and making my motherboard's optical jack the default device, I received no sound regardless of bitrate setting.I then unplugged everything and connected the USB cable to a computer instead of a power strip, making the computer's default playback device the USB DAC. I ran the TOSLINK from the Signstek DAC to a FiiO TAISHAN D03K TOSLINK to 3.5mm/RCA DAC and connected my headphones to the FiiO unit. As I type this, I'm listening to music from my computer using this configuration.It seems that the only use for this unit's optical jack is out, effectively allowing this to be both a USB DAC and a USB to TOSLINK adapter, bypassing its abilities as a DAC. Very handy if, for example, you have a laptop that lacks optical out and you have a pricey optical in-only DAC that you'd like to use with the laptop.That being said, if anyone can get this unit to behave as an optical in DAC, please let me know how you've done this. If I can replicate it, I'll happily edit my answer accordingly.
Question:	Will the analog outputs be bypassed if a headphone is connected at the same time
Answer:	The USB is the ONLY input for both power AND the digital audio signal passed from a USB device outputting a digital audio signal. The Optical and Coaxial are digital OUTPUTS to feed the digital input of another device or DAC. The Headphone and (L) (R) are analog outputs to feed the analog inputs of some kind of amplifier that then feeds speakers. If you can do without the optical digital output on this device, I suggest the slightly smaller Muse Mini USB DAC here : https://www.amazon.com/USB-DAC-PCM2704-Optical-Converter/dp/B0093KZTEA/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1482862640&sr=8-4&keywords=usb+mini+dac They have the same DAC chip and in my personal side by side comparison in my high-end desktop stereo setup I preferred the sound of the headphone outputs of the smaller unit to either the headphone or RCA outputs of the larger unit here. Yes, different implementations of the same chip sound different. Regards...
Question:	So Macs have good internal DACs, can someone comment on how much better this unit makes music sound while running off a Mac (I have a 2013 Mac Air
Answer:	Let the specs speak for themselves: FiiO E10 Specs Power Supply Standard Micro USB port Output Power 200 mW @ 32 Ω Sample Rate Maximum of 24-bit/96 kHz supported Signal to Noise Ratio ≥108 dB Digital Output 1x Coaxial digital output, stereo PCM format Frequency Response 20 Hz to 20 kHz Impedance Recommended Headphone Impedance: 16 to 150 Ω ATH-M50x Headphones Frequency Response 15 Hz to 28 kHz Sensitivity 99 dB Impedance 38 Ohms Maximum Power Handling 1600 mW

User questions & answers

Question:	What's the output impedance
Answer:	The Recommend headphones for this device is between 32- 600 ohms. Some reviewers suggest 600 ohms, As for the RCA output I'm not sure but it has enough gain to drive my Denon amp
Question:	What recommended to do? plugging the dac with usb or dc power? what will be the best option
Answer:	Hi. As far as I know, this DAC can be connected only with the power cable. No USB charge available.
Question:	I have a pair if beyerdynamic dt900! will this amp improve sound quilty and volume? using headphone for playing while drumming
Answer:	It will depend the impedance of the headphone itself, because of the fact that the amp is relatively low power, but I can’t say if it will be an improvement if I don’t know what you are comparing it to. But compared to a phone or a laptop, it is a significant improvement
Question:	Is there any line noise or pooping sound when taking in optical audio output from a computer? Any popping when music stops playing
Answer:	I’ve never had any line noise or popping using optical. That is via a TV not computer but can’t imagine it would be different. The only popping I’ve ever had was if the power was pulled from the unit and then plugged back in while the volume was up but you shouldn’t ever need to unplug it, it doesn’t run hot or draw power when the switch is off.

The cable is equipped with a mic and controls so it can also be used to operate devices in areas where Bluetooth wireless technology is prohibited or when headphone battery power is low.

Wireless Operation

For wireless use, the headphones have a mic and volume/control switch built into the left earcup, making it easy to answer calls, adjust volume and handle music and video playback (play, pause, fast-forward, reverse, next/previous track).

Comfortable Over-Ear Design

The ATH-SR6BTBK Headphones' comfortable over-ear design provides excellent sound isolation for the best listening experience in both wireless and wired modes. When traveling, the earcups fold in on the headband for a space-saving fit in the included carrying pouch.

Lithium Polymer Battery

The headphones' internal lithium polymer battery provides approximately 30 hours of continuous use (1,000 hours in standby mode) and can be recharged using the included 1.0 m (3.3') USB charging cable.
