Hi there, if any Fiio representative is reading this thread. Is the E17 battery replaceable? If the operation is exclusively dependent on battery, I believe my unity could not be turning the display on due to old battery. When USB plugged, audio, audio switching, everything works, only the...

I haven't used mine for some months. Last night I tried to turn it on, but the display looks like it's dead. Everything appears to be working, but I can't see anything anymore. Tried the reset button, to no avail. I've had this issue before, dead display, and the reset trick worked indeed. Not...

Well, thanks. I think you addressed bit rate, I was talking about bit depth.   I went educate myself a bit about the matter, and it seems lossy files are in general frequency based compression algorithms, which make bit depth not only unavailable (mp3 header doesn't even hold that...

Quote from here:   I'd like to know the bits per sample info of every file foobar plays, be it flac, mp3 etc.    __bitspersample not always return that info, sometimes it's "?".   But I believe every music file, be it loss less or lossy, has a fixed, obtainable number of bits per...

Hi,    I tried to do my homework and read the most of this thread posts, apologies if double asking...   I'd like to buy an E17 for using with PC and galaxy SIII.   I currently own only really low end equipment:   · Philips citiscape earphone (12-23.5kHz / 32ohm / 30mW) · SoundMagic...

nice mod man, well finished. Jackolope looks nice with them... lol...

Let's hope op don't get mad with us taking a longer detour from topic... :)   But as long as P=V^2/R is correct, it doesn't imply the potentiometer is turned down. In fact, it's usually the opposite in most designs, since the pot is usually placed in the input and, the greater its value...

Maybe I'm completely wrong, but for the sake of clarifying some ideas, I'd like to discuss the following:   Quote: True.     Not true. For example, my headphone is 32ohm/30mW max power. If you supply more, it will be damaged.     True.     It means exactly...

Couldn't retrieve Beats Solo HDs' impedance, even reading the user manual...   32 ohm maybe?   Perhaps Ninjames meant this could have happened with many other amps, not all of them. But if this headphone is 32R, one should be at least very cautious on turning that knob indeed... 

So, the problem is with wi-fi connection.   Assuming you understand the inner workings of routing/lan, I'd tell you to certify that your antivirus/internet security tool is not  blocking your new S3 (it's a new mac address).   Another thing worth looking could be if your router is...

There is some bias around asynchronous USB audio mode behaving/sounding better than sync one.   Maybe that could count as a 1st improvement coming from udac-2 to Modi.   You use it primarily with computer/notebook systems? FLACs/ALACs, 320k mp3, what do you hear the most with MMs?

that math was to give a rough idea. I've paid less, I've paid more than that.   maybe we could agree that both amounts are a bit far away from... say... fair taxing.   but that's another story... I don't mean to detour from topic.   happy with them? :)

seriously, people at Schiit should charge for faq reading...   i've laughed hard with 'about Asgard 2', for example...    it was kinda the typical jokes we used to tell in our engineering classes too... oh man... these people know how to have fun...

just wondering, changing the pot wouldnt do the trick?

Do you remember Xperia S' dac name?

Could you give us some specifics? Stuttering, poor quality, codecs not working??

Currently I'm pretty happy with the following setup:   Columns UI equalizer crossfader reverse stereo channels noise sharpening resampler PPHS Bauer stereo to binaural

That's an interesting insider point of view.   It's not far from the true either that if one spends for instance $10k+ in Stax heads/amps, but gets poor mix/master sources, be it 320kbps/flac/alac whatever,  the ending result will probably be also poor.   Once the individual...

discovered Bauer binaural component thanks to this thread. thank you.
