would love to know if the e11 soundstage is larger than the sansa clip / fuze, does it improve on the presentation or does it limit it?

As far as I can tell, E11 is pretty transparent. If you feed it a good soundstage, it will present a good soundstage.

And for those who are interested to know that Fiio had also announced two DAC-only products.
 
Fiio D3 / D5 DACs

Fiio seem to have done a very good job of penetrating a mass market that would rarely, if ever, visit Head-Fi or any audio-specific site. I find posts in the oddest forums from people who are very happy with their new 'gadget', blissfully unaware of the wider headfi world out there. Those lucky, lucky people.

Yes, will release D3 next month, and D5 in July. 
 
D3 is design to use with Apple TV2, LCD TV, Xbox 350, PS2 and some Set Top Box, it will support 192k/24bit. and the price will be quite cheap.

If I ordered the E11 from the first batch (trial production) do I have anything to worry about ?

sorry, just call our engineer, E11 can not powered by any extra power source, you can only use the battery when listening. and E11 will auto power off when you plug USB power.
 
Sorry for my mistake.

any plan to solve this? or this is how E-11 works?

The E11 is all hardware, no firmware.  So this can't be fixed without a hardware revision...I think he said that it was something to do with the active ground, so it might require a complete reworking of the architecture.

Sorry, it can not be solved unless we change the power supply jack from mini USB to other jack.

Oh?  What's the problem with using USB instead of something else?

 

[JamesFiiO]

The reason is , the ground of the output in E11, is a virtual Ground but not real Ground. when someone connect the USB jack to the PC, and connect the input to the output of PC, 
 
Them, Boom, the virtual Ground is connect to the real Ground that will damage the E11, so we design a protect circuit, it will auto power off when plug the power for charge.

BTW, Just talk with Mike from Headfonia, he just post the review of E11, great review and photo. just for reference.

Did you ever consider the Sflo:2? Very nice DAP. I'm almost in tears I'm having to be without it for probably a month is not less. Love my Sansa Fuze+LOD+Leckerton UHA-4. Will definately be getting this Fiio E11 to add to my growing collection .
