I think the next logical step to improve my current setup is to upgrade my DAC. Right now my E17 is being used as a DAC only using the Fiio line out dock. Would the odac be an improvement over the DAC section of the E17?
 
Can anybody compare both?

  I see you went with the ODAC after all.  Can you answer your original question now?
 
Thanks

Just saw this post. It's been a while since I've upgraded, but yes, it was an improvement. To answer quickly, the ODAC just sounds more detailed and pure. It's definitely a better DAC than the DAC portion of the E17.
