E11, a new start of FiiO's portable amp ( added some real photo )
Apr 3, 2011 at 12:18 AM Post #736 of 1,326
The L8 isn't available in America yet, neither is their Double L 3.5 interconnect. I had to order mine from the UK. Not sure about the L8s release status yet as far as outside of China goes. 
 
The X3 and E11 are still in prototype testing, if I'm not mistaken.

Can't wait! This plus the X3...
 
I'm just wondering where I can actually order this (these) asap. I noticed that the L8 (I think that's it - the L shaped on both ends 3.5mm connecter) is listed as being available now on the FiiO site, but when I followed the links to the 3 North American online distributors there's no mention of the product. Normally I'd just buy from Amazon, but I don't think I can wait for them to catch up!

it does is a long long thread and E11 is the first model that we can adopt some idea from our enthusiastic user.
 
I am very sorry that let you wait so long time, but good news is that the 1000pcs PCB will arrive after 2 days, so we will start to make the PCBA in SMT machine soon, 
 
But the back new is that the sales in the past two months is so great so we need to arrange the production of E3, E5, E7, E9, A1, E9i first, but we will try to finish the trial production
 
of the first 1000pcs E11 before the end of this month. 
 
BTW, all E11 had been ordered by our sales agents so it may be available in few regions first.

I am amazed at Fiio's willingness to engage the Head-Fi community. If only Fiio would enter the after market headphone cable arena. Their approach could really shake up what must be a lucrative market for some as they provide alternatives to ubiquitous models such as the Sennheiser HD series. The pricing for these cables is ludicrous at the moment but I'd happily pay around $100 for a Fiio produced silver cable, which I suspect would still have a healthy mark up (sorry to go off topic... just seeing if I can plant a seed

).
 
Btw, would it be possible for the user to swap out the E11's supplied battery for one with more mAh?

Just wanted to repeat this.
 
Also: I wanted to ask:
The main reason people are excited is the E11 uses the AD8397, which is the same one on the Arrow?
We are hoping it can match up SQ wise with much more expensive amps?

regarding the sale of fiio products
im thinking of getting a LOD
which one would be best for my iphone4/ipad2 in preparation for using it on the e11?


Your best bet would be the Fiio L1 LOD from amazon. They start at $7.99 I think. Heres the link. I ordered this for my iphone 4 and it does it job and at a reasonable price. I see no reason to spend $40.00 on a lod at all. Good luck.

ah i see thanks
any difference between that and l3?

The L3 is better shielded and has a more solid connector and wiring. On the other hand, the L1 is smaller. The price difference was negligible for me, so I went for the L3.

L3 has the Oyaide (a well known cable company in Japan) cable, so the overall build quality is better than L1.
