OK I've searched the thread but it's a long one so apologies if I missed this -
 
When in preamp mode is its lineout 2vrms at max volume?

 
In pre-amp mode with volume 60/60 and gain 0dB, it measures around 1v. With gain 6dB, about 1.95v. In line-out mode, around 1.65v. Yes, they are no the standard 2vrms, but not that many portable device uses that standard anyway. Even iPod's line-out is 0.5v.

the more I read about the E17 the more excited I am to get it. FiiO really put a lot of features into this thing

same with me. The only problem is i'm not pre ordering. I'm just waiting for Micca to get it and hopefully put it up on Amazon -__- 

. I just feel better buying and getting shipped from U.S and Amazon. Previous interations without Amazon as the middle buyer with products from the PRC have left me severley disapointed. Not that i can't get any help or anything. but the amount of effort and time and calling it takes to do things. 
 
Wishlist for this year:
E17 - more or less definatley going to buy
UE TF10 - will buy when it's $99 again. don't know if i have small ears,
 
Future purchases:
Denon AHD 2000 for a cheap price. hopefully $200 new?  
 
ClieOS has reviewed the UE TF10's already and as he knows. it is a steal at a sub $100 price range...new with Comply tips and what not. I just need to (clean) and then test out IEM's and hopefully be at least a medium

+1
 
This plus I have $120 in Amazon credit waiting around, lol.  But I always get it through them if I can.  No need to even pay return shipping if there is any kind of issue

Would you say that this is worth double the price of the e10? As in, when being compared to the e10

It depends on whether you'll need the extra features or not. But as an overall product, my answer is 'yes'.

what about as just a DAC and amp

If it is only going to be used as a desktop USB DAC, I do think E10 make better financial sense.

haha thanks for making me feel better about my purchase

Hello,
 
Do you know where is it possible to buy it when you live in France ?
 
Thanks.

So after reading this entire thread.. sigh.
 
I have one question with regard to the FiiO E17:
 
If I use the FiiO E17 as a DAC/AMP from my PC to my IEMs, do I need the E9?  Will the E17 provide enough power to drive my IEMs without the need for an E17/E9 combo from my PC?  I do not have any large cans that would require a larger E9.  I dont want to spend money on something that will collect dust on my desk.

No, you don't need the E9 to drive IEM (unless you have a custom 600ohm IEM, but I doubt that). E17 has plenty of power, just not as much as E9.

Am deciding on getting a portable amp, would a pico slim be more worth it then the e17? I know that both are in a totally different price range, am just hoping for insights if the extra amount of cash is worth it for the difference in SQ.
