Fiio E10 bad audio

[adb105]

i just got a Fiio E10 in the mail, plugged  it in and put my JVC HAFX 1X ear buds in and went to listen to some FLAC music i had downloaded. It sounded worse than when i just listen to if off my cheap motherboard on board sound. I read  the trouble shooting guide it came with and uninstalled the driver and reconnected it to a different usb pot and i get the same result.

Im no expert but i experience far more satisfying results when i listen to music off my htc desire at the same or higher volume.

 

Does anyone know why this might be or what i am doing wrong?

Possibility of poorly encoded FLAC and now with the better equipment you notice how bad it actually is.

there might be something wrong with your unit then ...

Maybe try warranty replacement, if it is bad even with m50s?

If it's bad with your M50's then you got a faulty/fake unit.

Chinese quality.

Yeah a lot of Chinese products don't have the proper components (that are all of 50 cents) for a proper clean and reliable power source that along with cheaply made PCBs = bad performance.

Weird... I thought Chinese has Asus and all the top tech companies. Even your phones are made in China by Foxconn. :lol:

Inb4 Asus might as well be Foxconn with all the components they buy off Foxconn.

There's a difference between Chinese made products, and "Made In China" quality. My Little Dot stack, ordered straight from Hong Kong, has the best build quality of anything I've ever owned (of course, I did drop quite a bit of money on it).
