Just like any electronic rechargeable device.

What is the latest FW for the E17?
 
I only have a latest version of the IPOD Nano.  What is the best way to use it with the E17?  Set the volume of the Nano to middle and tune the volume on the E17?   Thanks.

There is no FW for the E17 as it is not upgradable.

If there is no LOD cable for your nano and if what you are doing provides enough source level, then that is good as you can always turn the nano up to get more. If there is a LOD then you don't even have to use the nano's volume control at all since it's output will be at line out level through that cable.

i think my headphone jack/amplifier on the E17 is defective. After many months of experience, i notice that my fiio e17 is very susceptible to interference from smartphones, home phones, and monitors.
 
When they are near them, they make a weird noise that is not a tick or a click. However, when i move the e17 away from them (like 10 inchs or more), the chance of it happening decreases alot. The funny thing is that it only happens when i'm using the headphone jack and not when using line out.
 
any1 have insights on this issue? I might consider putting it in a anti-static bag to see if it will fixes this.

Hi guys,
I've had the E17 for a couple weeks now. Pretty happy with it thou i hear it sounds a bit better using optical in, so im getting a USB to SPD/IF device.
 
One thing that ive noticed is that generating a full digital range sine wave into it leads to some distortion. At first i though there was gain somewhere that was causing digital clipping. Ive tried WASAPI, ASIO and DS and its the same, there is distortion as soon as you get to within 0.2db of full digital range. Then I noticed this distortion was different in left or right channels. Am I correct in saying this distortion is coming from the dac output working near its maximum range? Is this normal?
 
Thanks for your time,
                           Neug

I haven't used the DAC feature yet. I got a Modi at home for that. But, it sounds great to me coming LOD (E9) from iPad > E17 > ATH-M50.

have a problem with mine...
left the USB charge option on "off" ..battery drained and now when I try to turn it on the screen appears for a second and turns off...It wont charge via USB because the option is "off"...
tried resetting but nothing...
 
any idea?

usb charging is suppose to automatically turn on when it's dead.

  usb charging is suppose to automatically turn on when it's dead. 

so actually seeing the main screen for a millisecond means that its not fully dead?
waiting is my only option I guess...
 
Thank you.

Or try holding the reset with a pin and then turning it on to see what happens.
Other than that I'd let it sit for a few hours plugged in.

trying turning it on while holding the reset does nothing....
leaving it plugged won't help because its on usb charge "off"...
guess will wait for the battery to die completely.

 

[plasmoic]

Issue resolved....
left a ticket and a prompt response suggested the same thing...when the battery dies completely the device will start charging, no matter if you leave the USB charge option "on" or "off"...
 
button is red
