I Thanks for the info. I'm not using a separate amp with my computer and K5. Someone suggested turning the computer volume all the way up, and control the volume with the K5. Does that sound like the right thing to do with the setup I have?- mdyoung216

I received my K5Pro yesterday and to see how headphones sound and make sure the input works I hooked up my Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10 earbuds. The input works and they sound pretty good. Kind of hard to remember how they sounded with the E17 I replaced since as I don't listen to music that...- mdyoung216

Just to see how headphones sound and make sure the input works I hooked up my Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10 earbuds. The input works and they sound pretty good. Kind of hard to remember how they sounded with the E17 since as I said don't listen to music that often anymore. The Altec speakers have...- mdyoung216

FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought
Thanks for trying to point me in the right direction. I sent an e-mail to FiiO to ask if I have it set up right and why the computer lists it as speakers. Main thing is the computer has sound. I don't listen to music as much as I used to do, but since the E17 was getting a bit old I figured...- mdyoung216

Looked at the FAQs and answered a couple questions. 7.Why do we see different colors when we look at the indicator light carefully? Because the K5 Pro uses two RGB lamps, and the yellow color is a mixture of red and green. Due to the difference in the material of the RGB lamps, it is normal...- mdyoung216

I have it connect by the USB cable that came with it. I have the speakers connected to the line out in the back. So you think using the head phone jack for the speakers is better than using the line out in the back?- mdyoung216

Yeah, it's Sounds, but as I was saying it is listed as That's the file I downloaded and installed. Just wondering why it's calling it Speakers.- mdyoung216

It's listed as FiiO Q series and calls it Speakers. There is no Supported Formats tab. Could that be because I'm using the line out for my powered speakers? Is that something to be concerned about?- mdyoung216

FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought
The K5Pro came from Amazon today. The E17 I reset it, but screen is still dead. However, I hooked it up to my phone through the AUX and I was able to switch the input so that I could hear music through headphones and the volume controls worked. Not sure what I'll do with it, but at least I...- mdyoung216

Well I thought the E17 was working fine. Since I never mess with it, and leave it on all the time I just noticed the volume controls aren't working and the screen is dead. So I ordered from Amazon the K5 Pro.- mdyoung216

I don't need portable. The E17 stays connected to my desktop computer all the time. I attached a screen shot that shows how the E17 is recognized by my computer. Will both of these do the same?- mdyoung216
