why do you guys keep saying May release date?  Fiio themselves have mentioned March or April.

It is speculation based on this comment just a few up in the thread...

Can't really set a date since the prototype isn't ready yet.

However, it doesn't mean that late March or April won't happen.  It depends on how fast the product development cycle is at Fiio - given that the specs are mostly complete they surely have the circuit topology pretty much done.  We can't really know given how much we've been told (almost nothing), but I might speculate that they're working out physical manufacturability issues and parts sourcing for the final prototype.

I am just saying the prototype isn't ready for beta tester yet, not that FiiO hasn't made any prototype (for internal testing) so far. Production usually is pretty fast for FiiO. Delay often happens on the supplier side because FiiO usually bulk orders parts from the manufacturer for cost saving and quality assurance (fake parts are not uncommon in China), and U.S. manufacturers are known to be slow on delivery date after the economy crisis @ 2008. As long as FiiO didn't face any delay from the supplier, the products should be released on time, more or less.

We are all excited. However, get it right rather than get it now, no?

We will try to send some reviews sample in 15 days! and start the trial production in one month! but it is just plan so the schedule may delay!
 
BTW, some information need to share with everyone, China meet some big problem in econo, lots of worker don't want to go to work and stay on hometown, the real estate is too hot even in some very poor regions!
 
and everything is become expensive! so lots of factory is lack of worker! I am not sure how worse the situation will become! because it is a spply chain!

Yes, we are trying to reduce the disturb noise from GSM signal! but it is ok if you use WCDMA network!
 
I had to said, too many people used iPhone as their DAP! that is why we try to solve! except this , all is normal and we already purchase the IC for the trial production! 
 
btw, will update the newest information and it is worth to wait!

BTW, we had showed our engineer sample in last month in hong kong, most people who had tried is quite satify with the sound quality! and some had posted their opinion in hong kong's forum!

http://fs-digital.net/viewthread.php?tid=18485, in this thread, one had posted his opinion about E11 which he had tried!

It is... just remove the extra comma at the end.
 
In any case, here's the Google Translated version for those who can't figure it out... It's more of a brief impression than a review.

[JamesFiiO]

Sure, he just tried it in the show so there have not enough time for anyone to write a review!

 

[TheDreamthinker]

looks like the e7, imo.
 

 

[Riku540]

Just scroll to the bottom...

Here is the impression from that page:
Quote:

係耳機大會度玩過下,推力幾好
音場大而空間感好,高低頻質數都相當唔錯,只係人聲有D乾
整體算係非常超值,比同廠E7好上好多
外型小巧靚仔,輕身,呢隻amp一出我會即入

 
Rough translation:
I tried it on the headphone convention, output is pretty powerful
Wide soundstage and good sense of space, quality of  treble and bass frequency is decent as well, but vocal is slightly dry
Overall it is very good bang for the buck, much better than E7 from than same factory
It looks small and beautiful, I'll pick one up as soon as it hits the market

 

[TheDreamthinker]

vocals dry, what does he mean?
