Quote: Yeah I'm going to try a blind test later tonight with 2 laptops as I'm skeptical myself of the whole ASIO/WASAPI feature.   I think really I just want the "cleanest/purest" signal possible coming from my laptop to the E17.   I'm currently using Foobar, I may post a little...

Quote: I was afraid of that as it's very annoying when trying to skip through tracks to find certain parts fast.   Also, I have many albums that blend seamlessly between tracks, and this driver introducing a skip at the beginning of each new track does not make for pleasant listening...

Wondering if anyone else is having this problem?   When I select the "ASIO: FIIO E17 DAC ASIO DRIVER" in the foobar output, there is a lag/buffer time of about 1 second whenever a new track plays, or when skipping through a track.   This does not happen if I select the standard "DS...

Thanks, I managed to install the driver fine however I'm experiencing a problem, hopefully you can help.   When I use the "ASIO: FIIO E17 DAC ASIO DRIVER" in the foobar output, there is a lag/buffer time of about 1 second whenever a new track plays, or when skipping through a track.  ...

Could you please re-upload the foo_asio_out.zip file?

Well, I saw Amazon UK had received a few units back in stock earlier and after thinking about how tired I was of waiting I decided to pay the extra £40.   I feel this is my only option.   I'm cancelling my advancedmp3players order, and I'm going to wait until I receive my mp4nation order...

Email update from advancedmp3players: expected stock arrival now pushed back from 29th of Feb to 16th of March.   Again I'm left wondering where these dates keep coming from.   Either Fiio are giving them to the retailers and keep delaying (In which case I wish they would simply stop...

Wow, this really is never ending..   I don't want to get into a huge debate over whos "fault" it is again (agentxxl made a great post about this) however, I do wonder where mp4nation keep getting these "expected" dates from that have now been pushed back a total of 2 months.   Are they...

Gutted to be reading about everyone receiving their E17s while I'm still waiting around with no updates.   Is it just me? Has anyone else actually received a unit from the mp4nation 2nd batch/shipment yet?

Quote: Same.   I made a pre-order enquiry a couple of weeks ago. They then emailed me yesterday telling me the item was now in stock. The product page told me the item was in stock. I purchased the item and was still told it was in stock. This morning I receive an email telling me it...

Back in stock at advancedmp3players, £99 & free UK delivery!   Ordered mine just now, as soon as I receive it I'll cancel the mp4nation order.

Wow so it's back in stock at Amazon UK being sold by "AVShop" but it's £35 ($55) more expensive than mp4nation. As tempting as it is I'm not going for it out of principle.   Strangely too, the original price before the "saving" is listed as being £183 ($286) more than double the price at...

Quote:   Excellent post, that helped explain a lot.   I was getting confused/frustrated as originally advancedmp3players were advertising pre-orders for the 2nd of Feb, which later changed to the 16th of March.   At the same time mp4nation were advertising pre-orders for the...

Quote: Hmm, I assumed Fiio would have told the dealers that they would supply X amount of units on whatever date.   Feiao also gave dates of availability in this thread, which were later pushed back.   I'm trying not to make a huge deal out of this as I believe both sides are...

Quote: As I posted earlier, my reply from mp4nation when asked about this matter was:     "I am sorry that the E17 are delayed but the issue with their production is beyond our control."     At no point has Fiio said any of the retailers have/are doing anything wrong, so I'm...

This thread went off the rails a lonnng time ago. Speaking of which whatever happened to that bowie guy?? I'm worried for him.   Besides, this is important information.   A lot of people were waiting on the advancedmp3players batch and many may be placing pre-orders that will never be...

For any customers looking into that 16th of March date at advancedmp3players (the only UK supplier at the moment) I emailed asking about availability and they told me that they are only expecting, wait for it:   10 units   Unbelievable.   They said more pre-orders than this have been...

So I was eagerly awaiting Micca store's next batch arriving until they announced they will only be shipping within the US.   Feiao please update us:   Is the mp4nation batch still on schedule and can you give a specific date?   They already have my money and as of yet it's still the...

Quote: Reply from mp4nation:     "Hi Jay   I am sorry that the E17 are delayed but the issue with their production is beyond our control.   On the E17 product page we clearly state that preorders are subject to delay. Should customers NOT want to wait then they should place...

Yeah it's getting ridiculous.   Feiao can you give us some confirmation please:   How many units roughly are you sending to mp4nation? I want to know what the chances are of me getting my pre-order fulfilled or whether I should just give up.   Which other online retailers are you...

Quote:     "MP4Nation Start of March right now, but we have a few units coming tomorrow but those will be for the first preorder people who didn't get their orders shipped."     You are kidding me, where did you read this? Couldn't see any mention on facebook.   If that's...

Quote: Yes mate, been following the thread for a few weeks and surprisingly I have read it all.   I check here daily in case there's an update about UK stock availability, and there was never any mention of Amazon UK.   I placed a pre-order with mp4nation last week which came to...

From Amazon.co.uk product page:   "Date first available at Amazon.co.uk: 23 Jan 2012"   But now out of stock.   Is this true? There is 1 customer review so I'm guessing I missed it somehow.   Can anyone tell me how much it cost from Amazon UK?

Quote: Whaaat??   Right I'm pre-ordering from mp4nation, my main worry was the postage costs for sending a faulty unit back (me being from UK) and even though feiao recommended against ordering outside my region there is no way I'm waiting over 2 months (plus it's the cheapest option.)

Quote: Sure but advancedmp3players.co.uk have it for £99, mp4nation works out at £89, so not sure why amazon.de is £130   Can't believe advancedmp3players are saying 16.03.12 for stock now, that's ridiculous   Feiao when will other UK/EU retailers be receiving stock?   I think...
