E17 won't turn on - Page 2

Well after an hour of waiting for my fiio e17 to turn on they have not so i went back on amazon and ordered audio engine d1 premium 24 bit DAC. they arrive saturday so ill keep my fiio until then. Just to be clear i absolutely loved the way this amp made my headphones sound and loved the way i could fine tune my listening experience. I think it is truly a shame I have to send them back but after two tries I have had enough. I will reply back on the quality of the audioengine just in case anyone who is also having problems with their fiio needs an alternative.

Just listened to audio engine amp and decided to return it immediately. That amp is nowhere on the same level as the Fiio e17. It basically sounds the same as listening to music directly out of my computer. I'm going to reorder the fiio e17 for a third time and cross my fingers.

very sorry for the trouble, if you have the trouble again we will send you a free one .

Thank you for the offer. I received my third Fiio E17 three days ago and so far so good. Its a shame it has this problem because it truly is a great amp. I appreciated the quality of this amp that much more after I listened to music out of the audioengine amp and found it nowhere near as good as the Fiio. I just hope that I have no more issues with this third one and can listen to my music when i want to.

thanks, it is not a common situation I believed. anyway, we will try our best to improve the quality control step but step.  

the one i had (now given to my brother), had no issue at all. i was one of the earlier ones to get the dac/amp, as a matter of fact, i preordered it.

I have E17 and E11 and likes their sound a lot. But E17's battery does not seem to hold a charge very well. Even if I don't use E17 at all (power off and hold button on), it's battery will die after about 2 weeks (E17 won't turn on unless I charge it again for a while). Do you think that is normal?

My E11's battery holds a charge very well.

My E17 is an authentic one (I have checked the "scratch query" number at Fiio's web site).

Thank you!

Kind have the same question here, looking forward to the answer. Although I usually charge it everyday so that's not a big deal for me.
