  Someone have the E17 with Windows 10 Build 14936 and can play file with 88.2 or higher sample rate over USB?

Don't know about that Build, I have Win 10 Pro Build 14393.222 Anniversary Update and it plays anything using FooBar (DSD,24-192,mp3...).
Do not know what the real output is as the E17 read only 48K 16bit no matter what I play through it.

The E17 display 48K/16bit no matter the input is 44.1K or 48K, and 96K if the input is 88.2K or 96K.
With DS I can upsample with SoX with no problem at all but if I use WASAPI even 88.2 KHz doesn't play.

Changed some settings and lost DSD but plays everything else  and shows 96K 24bit.I'll have to dig up a 88.2k to try it if I have one.

Every time I try to upsample with SoX even at 2x I got this:
"Unrecoverable playback error: Unsupported stream format: 88200 Hz / 24-bit / 2 channels".
With WASAPI of course cause DS can play it fine.

My understanding is that FIIO has abandoned the E17 Alpen platform and are performing no authorized middleware (firmware) updates.  That means you are stuck at 96hz 24bit resolution & playback  Most applications will only do up to 48hrz 16bit which is REDBOOK quality only. Besides, I understand the Wolfson DAC can't handle 128hrz 24 bit resolution---you essentually are buying the FIIO E17 as a 3.5mm HEADPHONE mini amp for your computer/SmartPhone.

What do you mean it can't handle 128hrz 24bit, doesn't it use the same chip when playing 192 24 on optical and coax? Thank you.

How better is E17K Alpen-2 over the original E17 Alpen in both DAC and Amp performances?

Hey I just purchased an E17, and I was wondering if anyone else is having issues with youtube videos? I watch a lot of videos where people are speaking into mics, and there is often a constant hissing sound in the background. Is the E17 just revealing the background noise from their mics or is it just a youtube problem?
 
To be clear, I can play music just fine, and there is no hissing when I'm not playing anything. I'm connected using USB to my computer.

  Any of you have any experience on changing the oled of the E17 ? I'm having some serious burn-in with my E17's oled atm   
 
 

 
 
update: replaced the oled the and fixed the issue. 

Could you please elaborate on:
 
How you replaced the oled screen?
and, where you found a replacement?
 
Thanks.

That's pretty odd... I've never had that problem before. Care to give an example? Maybe I can check it with mine and see if it's a problem for me too.

yea my f17 has a very faint burn in line only noticeable when u go into the menu and in the middle. I put my device on hold whenever i can to turn off the screen.

Piece of crap. Second time I've had this problem now. The AUX input just disappeared again. I run a LOD from my iPod classic 30-pin to AUX. Now it's useless...

Last time I had to ship it to China and it took like 2 months to get it fixed

 

[vipervick]

This is the problem...

I think the original one is better. I much prefer the Wolfson DAC

Dear vipervick,
 
It is a hardware issue. When did you buy the E17? Would you like to send it back to us for repair? Sorry for bringing inconvenience to you.
 
Best regards

Thanks FiiO, but I bought it almost 4 years ago, November 2013.
