FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought
I give up. Restarted my computer again to test and the distortion is back on everything except 16/32. There's no consistency to this. Leaving it on 16/32. Quote: Still distorted.- boomerthom

FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought
OK, I think I found the problem but have no clue how to resolve it. Strange as it sounds, the laptop coming out of sleep mode seems to be the problem.

FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought
This is screwing with my head. I downloaded Foobar and successfully played a handful of songs with no distortion on 16/44.1. I go back to my browser and accidentally hit play on a Youtube video I had open. The sound was no longer distorted. The only settings changed during this process was...- boomerthom

Very odd. After following the above steps to troubleshoot my E17, it worked fine for the rest of the night. Before I went to bed, I turned my E17 off and put my laptop on sleep mode. So I wake up today and do some internet browsing on my laptop. After about an hour, I decide to listen...- boomerthom

FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought
The only sound format when using my E17 as a DAC for my laptop is 16 bit/32000 Hz. Is this normal? In any other setting, then sound comes out crackling and heavily distorted. 16 bit/44100 Hz was the default setting so I had to turn it down. Not sure what this even does (something about...- boomerthom
