Well got my new E17 today and I too was initially stumped by the fact it wouldn't switch on even thought it had the usb cable plugged in. Once I'd figured out how to change all the output settings on my laptop, now got it at 24bit 96k WASAPI plugin via Winamp, I'm really impressed. I gather that...

Nice looking & easy to find information.

Quote: Many thanks for the info. I know there 'shouldn't' be any issues but thought I'd ask before splashing the cash

I use Winamp Pro on my phone & tablet & Tune-In Pro for streaming internet radio.

I have a Rega Planner II turntable. If I play my Japanese import vinyl or 180g vinyl then it'll beat CD hands down.

Can you use the E10 with Windows 8 Pro 64bit?

Yeah that would be great, interested in building a Pi/DAC

I've used Winamp for a few years now, use it not only to play my music on the laptop & phone, but to manage my iPod. That's something it does far better than the abomination that is iTunes!

Just started with my Raspberry Pi. So far I've installed XBMC and I'm really impressed with how it handles everything. Thanks for the info above, when I get time I'll start 'fiddling'

I've currently got over 41,000 songs in my main music library.
