I assume he asks how the E17 DAC section pairs with Little Dot MKIII.

Sweet! E17/9 Combo I'm here waiting for you!
 

What I'm asking is if I use the E17 as a DAC and the Little Dot MKIII as the amp.

You will need the L7 for that. I don't know much about the MKIII, but E17's DAC alone is still quite good. The question is, could you find a standalone DAC for the same price with better sound? For $150 and DAC only, you might also want to look into other DAC like HRT Music Stremer II as well.

FYI E17 does work with ipad2 with camera connect card and a external powered hub. I used to does this with my uDAC2.  
 
Connect powered USB Hub To Ipad2 via Camera Con Card
 
Connect E17 to one of the USB ports on Hub
 
Connect USB Hub to Ac adaptor for the USB Hub
 
Turn of battery charging on e17 and you should have a working digital output to e17. Not a portable solution but works

good to know.
 
by the way, if anyone wants to put on on FS or Ebay for profit, i'm sure many people here would pay the premium....i haven't seen one on ebay yet

Oh well I already got the E17 just ordered it today, but after reading so many reviews for the MKIII and the price of it. I feel sold on it already but if it isn't worth it then I shouldn't. 

Should i? I'm not running power hungry cans so I don't really need to but if it would improve the sound then by all means

what's the price of the mkIII?  what cans are you looking to power?

only around 200. At the moment I only have dt770 80ohms (requires nothing) but I'm just saying for future reference if it would make a good combo once I upgrade headphones one day.

One last comment: to those that missed out on the first batch (shipments 1 and 2) of the E17 - Fiio owes you nothing. If you were so seriously interested in getting the E17, you would have pre-ordered as soon as stores were listing it, like I did.

 
Excuse me, but a few of those people that missed out on the first batch and did pre-order, [size=small]particularly[/size] with mp4nation, received nothing but a sorry ass notification that their order did not ship out and had been moved to maybe the next release date. Personally, this is the reason why I finally cancelled my order with them in the first place. Though, in hindsight, I'm glad I did so I could eventually purchase locally. Initially, I felt MiccaStore was wrong in not having pre-ordering available but after awhile, I started thinking that they had the best method. Simply, if we don't have it, we don't ship it. Plus, first come, first serve. I really feel sorry for all the other people that had to suffer through a longer promised waiting pre-order period, only to find that they get nothing.

I would be one of those people. I pre-ordered a little late, on the 11th. Yet the mp4nation website did not say I was a part of the second batch until I ordered.

since we were on the topic of iphones and DACs and android/voodoo ...here's something i found:

looks like gsmarena does sound tests..      sorry to derail the thread a little.
 
 
FYI,   Mp4nation emailed me back after I told them about how miccastore had just sold in-stock E17s yesterday...  they said that those were most likely from the first batch, not the 2nd batch.........  but he seemed to contradict himself by saying that they got in another shipment recently, but they went to fulfilling the outstanding 1st preorders.

It's natural for mp4nation to want to hold on to as many customers as possible

iPhone 4 seems to measure very well. Hmmmm.

I swear trying to get ahold of a E17 is harder than an iPad2 on launch day lol!

One day, audiophilia will be commonplace and "in" to the point of people being in line for weeks waiting for the newest Amp/DAC/Headphones/Speaker set, and when that day comes, everywhere will people rejoice by listening to details in music that they never had before

I was able to place an order yesterday for an E17, so I contacted MP4Nation to cancel my order with them.  Go an e-mail saying the order was cancelled, but takes 5 to 7 days for a refund.  I have bought over a 1000 item off Ebay and it doesn't take 5 to 7 days for a refund through PayPal.  The Micca Store sent me a tracking number, but of course USPS has no record of it.  So until I have an E17 in my hand I don't believe anyone actually has one for sale.
