will a fiio e6 amp make it better?

The E6 is a toy. I have an E6 and a e12. You should not go less than the E11k. I am now using the amazing c&c; bk. small sweet and powerful. Good luck.

These earphones are already spectacular by themselves. They don't need extra power to get them to sound their best.

You can use the aux input. You'll need good speakers or else the amp will just make the music rough and distorted.

The Fii0 E6 has a full range volume control. So yes, you can adjust the volume to ZERO, nil, nada if you desire. I mightsuggest a headphone volume control adapter like the "Koss VC20 Volume Control". The Koss is not an amp., but willallow you to decrease the input volume from the static level to ZERO also. And is $20 less than the Fii0 E6.I hope that helps you. marco

Yes, you will notice sound improvement unless your car's stereo system isn't good. USB cable doesn't have to be used, it's for charging iPod, but FiiO drains iPod's battery quickly, so you probably want to have it plugged in. Get it, it's worth it. (Note that this is not for newest iPod with lightning connector)

It should do fine, although you'd get a better experience with a dac/amp combo like the fiios alpen e17.

Nope. I have a hifonics 1000rms and its jist perfect. So beat bet, get one good amp or 2 decent ones for those subs. But i omly have one and people hear me a few blocks out.

I heard from other people that the Fiio E17 has slightly better and clearer highs, not really noticeable, when listening to certain music like classical, ballad, etc. The E18 has better lows, which make music like EDM, R&B;, Hip-Hop all more enjoyable. I do believe it was said that the E18 does have a bigger soundstage, but that really depends on the capabilities of the headphones/speakers connected to it. Overall, if you already own the E17, then the E18 is not really too big of an upgrade, seeing as they are essentially similar. The E18 does have some features that the E17 does not, but they are more gimmicks/goodies than actual upgrades. And that goes both ways for the E17 as well.

If your receiver is pushing more watts per channel then this amp will not be louder. But the quality of sound produced by the Emotiva will more than likely be a large improvement, unless you own a high-end receiver (normally costing thousands of dollars).

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 http://www.amazon.com/AudioQuest-DragonFly-Digital-Converter-Version/dp/B00882U782/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1386022118&sr=1-1&keywords=dragonfly. Awesome deal at $99.

Yes the IPOD is too weak; a boost will bring out the clarity in your music. I use FIIO AMPS. You will love these cans.

it works fairly well before the power amp. the truth is you will get better response from a very good eq instead

I use a high-end tube amp but I've used the HE500 with the Fiio e12 portable amp with good results. You would need to purchase a 3.5mm to 1/4 adapter, since the HE comes with a 1/4 plug and the amp is 3.5mm.

That depends. It will probably be loud enough without an amp. But would you spend this much money for headphones unless sound quality was important to you? Uncompressed audio (or at least CDs) instead of MP3 and a fairly good to very good amp will improve the sound. Fiio, Schiit (yes that really is the name and it's made in the USA), Yulong, Matrix, Denon, Oppo, SMSL and other companies make amps in the $55 to $400 range. A DAC (built-in to the amp or separate) might also improve the sound.

You won't need an amp, but it would definitely make a difference. I am a basshead and I purchased a cheap FiiO amp and it did wonders to the bass. On my HTC One, I downloaded an EQ App and it had a similar effect. So if you don't have an AMP, try a free EQ - it can make a huge difference.

I have the Emotiva amp connected to the output of a Yamaha receiver. The amp sounds pretty clear, but I would not say it is louder. One of the main reasons I got the amp was to drive my 4-ohm speakers. The amp itself (if I recall) need somewhat higher input voltage to amplify, but loudness is adequate for my room.
