Does anyone know what frequency's the bass/treble are centered on and how wide they boost aswell as the decibel increase per number, and how high does the boosts go in numbers

So how many do you think Micca got? Because he had to know there was going to be massive interest generated on Head-Fi-hard to believe it sold out so quickly.  Guess it's on to Amazon where they hopefully ordered enough.  As they say around here, you slow, you blow.

To anyone that has the E17: is there any background hiss at all?  That's the one thing I cannot stand in a component; that very faint background hiss in silent parts of songs.
 

E17 is the least hissing of any FiiO. In fact, it is very well behaved even compared to other amps of its price range when it come to hiss.

i think CLIEOS or mike from headfonia would have reported if there was.
 

You will read more about it in the final review, which should be up in next 24 hours as I have finished most of it and just need a bit more editing.

I don't expect anything any different from what ClieOS and the Headphonia review describe....or I will use their return policy (like I did last week with Digizoid and the Z02v3).
 

Me and Mike don't always agree on everything, but for the case of E17, we do share a large portion of our opinion. Perhaps just a little deviation here and there.

All of that factored in the purchase from Micca Store 

.  ClieOS doesn't know it directly (until now 

), but I've bought off of his recommendations (during my infrequent journey on Head-Fi) over the years since I've joined.

I'll be watching you

It really is best to not let batteries charge for months and months straight - like if you keep if permanently mounted to the e9.  I'm guessing that's why.
 

Yep, you need to 'cycle' Li-ion battery from time to time (drain it and fully charge it again) in order to keep it 'fresh'. It helps to prolong battery life. But you don'ty need to do it too often. Once or twice per month should be good enough.

I don't have an amp yet, but I have been looking to get one. Would this make a good amp to start with, just as an introduction to others?
It was either this or I build my own CMOYBB, any opinions either way?

I always encourage people to build a cmoy of their own (and cmoyBB is a excellent place to start) to learn a bit about electronic and soldering. It will be of great use for the rest of you life knowing how to fix basic stuff. But purely as a starter amp (admittedly E17 is a bit more expensive and advanced than a starter amp), you can't beat E17.

Bass EQ is centered around 20Hz and treble EQ is centered around 14.6kHz. I will show you all the FR curve in graph for all the different setting, so stay tuned.

Unless you have IEMs you shouldn't have a problem.

I likely won't use it much with my IEMs, but why would that make a difference in hiss?

IEMs are more sensitive to hiss. I think.
Someone knows more about this than me. ClieOS?
