Yes but getting an E17 for an X5 is pointless as the X5 has more output power than the E17 does.

im having a problem that happens often. my e17 wont turn on randomly and the only way to get it to work is hit the reset with a pin. how do i fix this?

Used this at 6gain 60volume for a month or so, now the volume sounds lower than it used to sound, had to up gain to 12 to actually sound decently loud again. Is it just me slowly going deaf or the device's fault?

You run this wide open into headphones?

Where do you control the volume from, your source? And what headphones?

Yes connected to headphones, HD598, source is TV. Volume controlled by the E17. I'm playing the same files and didn't change anything so its either the device or me.

Pretty sure it's you.
 
Because max volume with medium gain on the HD598 is flippingly loud in the first place. I know, because I've got a HD558 and it's ridiculous enough to go above 48 on the volume on medium gain (6db).

idk if this is the right palce to post, but my optical cable is stuck inside the mini toslink adapter. Any1 have a clue to get it out? 

 

[TrollDragon]

Pull? Pull Harder? The little square hole you see there is the recess for the bump on the cable that holds it in place. Try a pair of pliers to gently squeeze the mini adapter on both sides away from the holes and work / wiggle the cable out.

got it removed, i had to use those flat screw driver to push it out. Had to jab the part where the part where the black meets the gold. Hope i didn't damage anything because i heard a sound

On my last business trip a few weeks ago, I had an hour to kill so I stopped by an airport sound shop...what's in called Invision or something like that.  Anyway, chit chatted with the guy for a bit about my recent money pit hobby...that being headphones and he understood completely.  Naturally, he talked me into trying out some stuff...a pair of Beyer planar phones and a couple of IEMs.  I was proud of myself that I only walked out $150 lighter.  I couldda probably dropped a grand without a problem.  Anyway, the $150 went to an Alpen and so far I'm really loving this little thing.  OK, soundwise I probably get slightly better sound from a Ray Samuels SR-71A that I'm using, but the difference maker for me is the versatility.  I like to listen to music in bed and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the sleep control on this thing because it's not unusual that I fall asleep and wake up in the middle of the night with my phones still on.  If I'm using a portable amp like the Ray Samuels, the battery might be drained by morning.  With this sucker, I just set the sleep setting to 30 or 40 minutes and it shuts off on its own.  Love it!

Selling an E17 if anyone is interested.

HI guys
 
I have a galaxy note 3
and a Fiio E17
 
which is the right cable I have to buy to connect fiio to  note3, bypassing internal amp of note3 and  to be able to get the 24/192 ?
 
thanks!
 
ciao

The E17 supports 24/192 on Optical or Coax only, not USB.

Wish the dock connector was designed a bit better - I've just managed to fry my E17 by accidentally connecting the L7 lineout adapter the wrong way round (on mine the force required to insert it is equal with either orientation) and leaving it with USB power attached overnight.
 
Woke up to a very warm device with no signs of life other than the red charging light.

Wow that is really bad, the dock connector is really cheap and poorly designed.

Something to be said about the quality of Apple docks for sure, even the E09K dock fit is really sloppy.

I take it you have tried the reset and or letting the battery run out type stuff?
