Honest question....... Why are you using an e17 with the X3 when they basically have the same innards (DAC / Amp, and X3 has more HO power)?

Mainly for the eq. On the e-17.

Again, same controls on the X3 and they sound just as good, the hardware bass/treble control. I'm not condemning you for enjoying it, just trying to make sense of it. I owned both devices so I have first hand experience. Using the ie-8 you can lighten your stack by not using the redundant e17.

Actually, I've just been doing that. Definitely lightens the load. Thanks

Onix -
 
I have the AK120 and Fiio x3 as well. Compared to the AK120, the AK120 has more detail and it's warmer due to the Wolfson DACs.
The SONY  is a little more analytical but pleasant at the same time. The fiio X3 has a warm sound to it but I feel the SONY has more clarity.
 
What I mentioned above is from my perspective and sure other folks might have a different opinion.

One think I would like to add is that contrary to what others have reported, the NWZ has enough power for my JH 16s and volume is no more than half way up. Also, to my ears, the player is dead silent and can't detect any his.
 
I hope this helps!

Got these today, and pretty impressed with them. Bassy, but not boated. 
 
Overall very solid headphones for the price I got them for.

What model are they I got my daughter the Beat Solo 2 and they sound pretty good. My other daughter has the older first Solo's and they sound terrible the Solo 2's are the only ones that I think actually sound ok.

These are the Studio 2.0s. I got to try them beforehand and thought they were ok so gave them a try. 
 
For under $200 they are a pretty good deal.

I just got the Solo 2 before Christmas at Radio Shack and they cost me $179, if you look there every now and then they all the Beats products on sale. The regular Solo just had to much Bass for me but if you like Bass there great.
