That would be pretty sweet! But in the case that doesn't happen I'll still be ready to paint mine all black ( so It would match my iPod case and ideal future setup I have in mind) I think they should make a silicone case for it that would be pretty awesome

Jack,

Actually by retro I mean the "boxy" and "analog" look, not just the skin.
I'm not really into slim and shiny gadgets. But obviously amping ability first followed by durability
and looks.

Hey guys I just this minute got an E11 in the mail and I'm charging up the battery as a type. Whats the story with the switch under the battery-not even sure what its labelled. I listen to everything except rap and I just would like to set and forget, so what position is the best for me?? And what is the switch for....LOL????

 

[T-Willi]

The switch is for High and Low power. High for high impedance phones (650s) and  vice versa. Unless you just like/need the extra power theres no need for you to change it to high power.
 
Oh yeah it changes the battery life a bit I think by about 4 or 5 hours less or something like that

Thanks....leaving it alone I am and getting some extra battery time....TY

I haven't seen any E11s online that have the metal volume knob like the concept picture did. Are they all plastic knobs now?

 

[eclein]

Got mine today and its metal....Head Direct

I'm almost 100% that it is metal on my E11. Feels colder and I even tried it with my teeth and it doesn't feel like plastic at all.

sorry. cant help it but it's plastic for me. still, it's meaningless
anyway we'll just need to wait for the fiio sponsor to tell

The top and bottom cover is metal, the middle is plastic. and the knobs is also metal.

Hi,
 
The knob is metal on the 4 open box units we have here and the one that I use personally.
 
Good times.

thanks for clearing up.
so the black part is metal and the greay/silver plastic, it just looks the oppostite

. i was a bit worried as it was so thin and if it was just plastic i felt it would break anytime
