Reply to comment by legabs in just got my first audiophile headphones (Hifiman he400se) and honestly, I hate them by Line6Guitarist

Apple dongle would be a step backwards, your beef with Fiio aside. I don't think OP is short on power but if they swap to just an Apple dongle they definitely would be

Apple dongle works well with lots of headphones but it is not a one size fits all and I personally would never try to run planars off one and expect them to be their best.

I said that on another thread, but with my PM3 it works perfectly, with the Aeon almost perfectly, and average with my HE400i.
My bad you're right it's better for him to test on a friend's amp than on an Apple dongle. It's just that it was the cheapest way to compare with the Fiio.

That's fair then, yeah. I guess they are pretty cheap and available to where you could just pick one up to try and then return it later. And lots of people probs just have them laying around at this point. Did not mean to come off passive aggressive!
