My Fiio E6 came from SMI Corp today. And guess what! Mine has a serial number sticker and the genuine Manual.
So unlike the other guy who ordered from SMI Corp and got no S/N I did. So what does this mean? Even the people who sell these don't know they are getting fakes. Someone somwhere is making fakes and selling them?
Yes I know they said "no known fakes" for the E17 but I now have an E6 with 3 or 4 (not 100% sure about the user manual as it was kind of mashed up in the bottom of a drawer) of the fake signs but "real" guts. So is mine fake? Paritally fake? Mostly real? Just MOSTLY dead?
Will I buy an E17 and find a thread here in a few months showing weird little widget things about it that may or may not be indications of fakery? I've already read threads talking about crooked screens and other little first gen. manufacturing glitches. Kinda hard to know who or what to believe.
Very true. And thus far Amazon has been very good working with me regarding this. They've treated me much better than I expected. Yeah I'll prolly pull the trigger and get my first "real" (lol) headphone amp. Hope it pairs well with my modded Senn 580 Precisions. (Oh, and for anyone reading this thread cause they're thinking about the E6...it's a great little amp. I use it on my gym rig with a 2nd gen Nano with LOD and on EQ2 it rocks!)
You can't trust anything nowadays- another reason to look at a genuine product in person b4 buying from a veritable dealer, just in case you get ripped off
I am one of the victim of a fake Fiio E6!! I talked to amazon about it on the same day I read this thread and they gave me a refund for it and returning it. The fake one is exactly what it looks like from the main post. There's no sound quality improvements except a good bass enhancement. However, if anyone can tell the sound quality differences between the real and fake one as I am planning to reorder an authentic one, or I might have to upgrade to a E7 or E11....
