I was wanting a tad more of an in depth answer but may be I should've told you what I have tried first ;-D
I figured it in the end, needed to set up a new audio device.
LET THERE BE SOUND!

Yes you may need to set as default playback device on OSX or something.

 

You need the adapter the E17 comes with and an optical cable.

Yeah I nicked the optical off my Audinst. I was impressed with the PSB's through the E17 on USB, I am now more impressed with the set up using optical. Can't wait for time off over Xmas for some serious listening sessions!

BTW, all the specification is done by AP and there may have some different with other RMAA result because the test condition is different. so just for reference and we will try to do best. hope it can help you. and thank for the hard work of our colleagues. they just done a great

 

jobs. and we will try to become a brand/company who not only provide the best products but also the best service, and I am very proud that we have more than 9,000 fans on facebook page www.facebook.com/FiiOAUDIO. :) lol, if anything we can do and not beyond our ability,

 

we will not hesitate to do to satisfy our customers.

 

Wierd.

Some numbers don't make sense, for example:

 

E10 power rating is 150mW into 32 Ohms,  but this doesn't agree with the 40 mA maximum output current.

40 mA = 50 mW @ 32 Ohms

 

Going by some of the other numbers, the main reason to buy an E17 is for the features, power rating of E17 is very similar to E11 and E07K.    I'm just sayin'.

BTW, looks like I can drive my DT880 600 Ohms with an E09K.  very cool!biggrin.gif

Power rating of amps doesn't determine everything AFAIK.
But if any case, that's what the E09K is for xP high impedance cans.

You could argue that the E09k was also designed for current hungry low impedance 'phones or low efficiency 'phones in general.

We are TMAC. Themed Monthly Avatar Comittee. We formulate a group avatar each month. This month it is Currawong December. A currawong is a bird by the way. Next month is Jude January where we will shop Jude onto posters

Anyway, we are off topic.

Up to how many ohms headphones can it drive? It is enough for Q701?

Yeah get back on track! :-D

So E17 or E07K?

It depends on each person. I needed near full power at 12dB gain and 30+ volume while others could do 6dB gain at 20 volume

If you listen loud, maybe not.

E07K uses Max amp, same DAC, and usb reveiver(i believe). It has about the same power(current and voltage and W) output as the E17. It also features dual simualtaneous headphone out sockets that E17 not have. It has new trs sockets

What is gain? and does it bring good sound quality out of Q701?
