So, aside from being a dock for the E7, the E9 sounds better as well? If I don't plan to use the 598 portably, I could just go with an E9 and be fine?
My listening setup right now is:
iPod/Droid X -> 598
or at the desk:
Creative X-fi Fatal1ty -> Logitech G51 -> 598
This is my issue too. I have a Creative X-fi xtremegamer card, would like to amp my hd598. Not sure how much you've read but when docked, the E7 is only used as a DAC. Not sure what DAC the Fatal1ty has but assuming it's decent, you probably wouldn't need the E7 since you can use the Fatal1ty one. The amping will still be done in the E9.
It seems quite hard to find reviews, etc. of people using just the E9 though since the e7+e9 combo always seems to pop up in searches.
I found this thread an hour or so ago and was getting really excited that it would answer my exact problem, but the replies end right here!!
If anyone knowledgeable is reading, BUMP for curiosity!
