You can buy a L7 and connect  to E17, and them connect the line out signal from E17 to any other amp you like.

You mention that with the L7, the line-out signal is sent to whatever amp.  Is there actually a way to do that like you mentioned there's an option for this when connected to the E9?  As it is for me now, only the Pre-amp signal can be sent. 

Speaking of that, relative volume also transfers through the line out.  Mainly, this makes me question how this whole thing works.  Are all the pre-amp and volume adjustments digital (software based) in contrast to e.g., the FiiO E11, where all the adjustments are hardware based?  I thought that the only digital portion of this whole thing was the interface. 

That said, as a specific example, would a +6dB bass gain on the E17 be achieved in the same way as on the E11 set to EQ2 with the physical switch? 

Q: I've just bought the E17. I used it with my J3 and the cable provided with the E17 (that makes amping of the J3 possible - double amping I think it has been called) does not connect to the E17 well at all and frequently cuts out one channel if it's given the slightest bump. The owner of the shop pointed this out to me and showed me how the plug doesn't go in completely flush against the E17. Can this be remedied with a higher quality connector?
 

Thanks for the response - it was a user error issue. The cable that came with it is fine and I'm really enjoying it - keep up the great work.

Another quickie: Can the E17 connect to a small set of speakers via the line out if it's hooked up to a laptop?

OK got it and thanks - I think it says the same in the manual which I should have checked first. I'm considering buying the new E09K that the E17 can dock into if I can find one in Saigon.
 

Hi, I just recieved my e17 some days ago. Whenever I plug it into my pc (windows7) the only ONE setting that works is 16 bit 44100 hz. If I change it to anything lower or higher my computer will crash and give me blue screen of death. I really need help fixing this problem. Ive tried alot of stuff to try and get it working but I still keep getting BSOD -.-

I would be so freaking happy if there was a way to make it work higher bitrate without getting BSOD.

There could be many reasons but first try this with two other computers. Try it fully, as in try 96KHz through Windows or Mac Audio Midi setup settings as well if you have a Mac. This is to root out if it is device or computer problem.

At the moment, you could try

uninstalling the E17 USB driver in device manager WARNING. If you have no idea what this is, don't attempt it. Uninstalling the wrong thing will cause massive system failure. It is not as scary for advanced users..as you know which ones not to touch and generally the device will give you the full name.

Installing the updated or newest audio, or USB(Southbridge) driver. Warning, this may also cause errors if not done right or if the driver has problems.

I'm sorry that I ask technically involved questions but isn't that the point?  Questions like "what's the right kind of cable for the S/PDIF input" can easily be figured out.  Can somebody please help me?  It's getting a bit frustrating being ignored as there are other questions I've asked elsewhere, this being the simplest to explain...  If there's something I'm missing which I very well may be, could someone fill me in?  Thank you.
