I would prefer a stateside carrier...thanks though.

Would you still be able use the headphone jack on the e17 when docked with the e09k? 
 
I would have liked to see the inclusion of connectivity options. Such as toslink and or coaxial.

Still can't find anywhere in the US to buy this.  Anyone?
 

 

[MattTCG]

Also still looking for a US carrier and can't find a thing. The fiio sponsor here told me "a couple of day" for it to show up with US carriers. That was about 8 days ago...

I gave up on the US availability and bought a used e9 to try out with my e17. The added features were nice on the new revision but given that the sound signature was unchanged, it wasn't compelling enough to continue waiting.

I tried the HE500, LCD-2 revision 2, and HD650 with the E9.  The HD650 pairs the best, really good sound and I enjoyed it just as much as the Burson HA160.  The HE-500 and LCD-2 r2 sound decent on the E9.  I wouldn't rush out and buy an E9 for a either the HE-500 or LCD-2 r2.
 
Edit: I'm listening to the LCD-2 thru the E9 right now and it sounds really good, so don't listen to me.  Sure there are better amps out there but the E9 sure doesn't sound bad with these. 

 
Hey, thanks for the reply. I didn't see it until now. Since I already have an E17, Maybe the HD650 and the new E09K will be my next step up without blowing my budget totally out of the water.

opps.  Well, I thought I had the whole head-fi search thing figured out myself but when I searched for this amp last week I never found anything and I even used google.  I only noticed it because it was updated at the right time - and now there are 2...
