    FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought

    The Micca Store has E17s available in about 3 hours.  I love mine so much I might get a second one to use as a paper weight at work.  Good luck everyone.. the race is on.

    FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought

    I dont think anyone has tried this yet, but I was sitting at work with my XBOX360 S and didnt want to bother others, so I connected my FiiO E17 to the Optical connection and then ran my Westone ES5s to the E17 and it worked like a charm.  That extra Optical cable provided when I purchased from...

    FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought

    Quote: Bowei006: Yes, that very faint rattle is what I was talking about in your video.  I never shook mine that hard, but I could hear it from just moving it in my hand, etc.  It may be just the design or the components, but I would like an answer from FiiO.  Thanks for posting the...

    FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought

    Quote:      Yes, I only heard the rattling when moving it vertically not from side to side.  Hopefully we can get a comment, because I am a bit alarmed that something inside is actually rattling around.        Also, I am running Win7 64 on my computer and have had ZERO issues with...

    FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought

    Sigh!  I woke up this morning and was cleaning my desk and moved my E17 from one spot on the desk to another and heard a strange sound.  At first I thought it was something I dropped, but I decided to investigate.  There seems to be something loose inside my E17, because there is a rattle that...

    the Audiologists impressions thread (pun most definitely intended ;) )

    The Hearing Enhancement Center in Costa Mesa, California is an excellent place to go if your looking for impressions.  The Audiologist, Mark Dobkin, was extremely professional and the the molds he took were top notch impressions.  I just received my Westone ES5s and the fit is perfect with no...

    FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought

    I have tried my FiiO E17 with my Desktop PC, iPhone4S and Sansa Clip+ with no hissing or buzzing at all.  The only time I have actually heard a bit of hissing when no music was playing was while I was flying.  There are 5 different radios and other sensors working in the aircraft, but it may not...

    Westone ES5

    Well I know when I got my molds for my Westone ES5s, I was told by the Audiologist that he was concerned that my ears may be too small for the ES5s.  Westone never called me or the Audiologist to discuss this, so I must of just made the cut off for size.  My ES5s have plenty of sparkle and the...

    FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought

    Quote:   Mine would not turn on either (It would turn on, then right back off with the "bye bye"), till I had a significant charge on mine.  All is good now.

    FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought

    Well shame on me.  I thought according to the USPS tracker that I would receive my FiiO E17 today or Monday.  I go to check the mailbox and it came yesterday, Doh!   The package was ripped and the USPS had marked it damaged upon receipt and unsealed.  Just my luck, drat!  I opened what was...

    Westone ES5

    FedEx showed up at my door today and dropped off my Westone ES5s!   I opened the shipping container to behold my new ES5 masterpieces.  The build quality is outstanding and the flex tips are super comfortable compared to other IEMs I have tried in the past.  The music that I have listened...

    FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought

    So after reading this entire thread.. sigh.   I have one question with regard to the FiiO E17:   If I use the FiiO E17 as a DAC/AMP from my PC to my IEMs, do I need the E9?  Will the E17 provide enough power to drive my IEMs without the need for an E17/E9 combo from my PC?  I do not have...

    US Availability for FiiO E17

    I was about to pull the trigger on an Asus PC sound card since the MB onboard audio is not cutting it.  I stumbled onto the new FiiO E17 advertisement and feel this could be the answer to my audio needs.  It looks like this will work in place of a PC sound card DAC and also since I fly for work...
