The E17 works with the Samsung Galaxy S4 as a DAC with the help of an OTG cable!
My E17 won't turn on, what can i do?
Plug i usb connected to a computer.My E17 won't turn on, what can i do?
For those of you with an E9 as well, do you feel plugging the E17 into the E9 improves the sound as compared to just the E17 by itself?
(This is assuming you're using low impedance phones like CIEM's or portable headphones, not something like 600 ohm DT990's.)
So is android now a great option for use with the E17? Im considering what phone to get after my iPhone 4S.
A friend of mine has a FiiO E17 working with a stock Galaxy S3 using the USB Audio Recorder PRO app available on Google Play store, without any external power source.
There is a free trial version of USB Audio Recorder PRO.

USB Audio Recorder PRO is my prefered music player. I has also Neutron and Poweramp.
And I am not alone:
"From what I understand, USB Audio Recorder Pro app allows higher quality recordings to be played in their true hi-res quality because it bypasses a 16-bit/48kHz limitation in Android kernel. (The DX100 also does that with the iBasso software.) All other apps downsample to 16/48 before passing the signal to the external DAC like the Apex Glacier.
Besides that, I also find the app to output very natural sound. So I used the app quite a bit when I am in the mood for the best quality."
