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

Dear vipervick,
 
If you would prefer to buy the renew one E17 which is named E17S instead, you can send email to support@fiio.net about that.
 
Best regards

vipervick, if you have a Fiio L7 Line out dock try pluging it in and out to see it will start working again. When Plugged in aux is disabled. Can't hurt to try.

Are these still sold anywhere? The usual suspects were OOS (discontinued)

I don't know if this is the right thread...
I bought 2 weeks ago an E17k new and use it as an AMP/DAC with micro USB-lightning connector with my iPhone 7 at volumes of 12-15/60 0 gain/bass/treble and battery life is about half of advertised.
I'm not getting near 15hrs.

I did a full charge over night and after 4hrs of use I'm done to 2 bars

I'm still in the return period ..should I get an exchange?

You can PM FiiO about it or wait for them to reply to this thread.

Dear nealh,
 
Please try to test the battery life first: Measure the battery life from the time the E17K starts playing to the time when the E17K runs out of battery and shuts down automatically. Sorry if bringing inconvenience to you. 
 
Best regards

Anyone used E17 as a DAC with "OnePlus One"? Works without issues?

Dear Subhakar,
 
The E17 is designed for the computer originally. But you may try to use the micro to USB+ mini USB cable to see whether it helps.
 
Best regards

My fiio e17 display screen is completely gone. The display is way too dark to see even under dark room. So I decided to open it up see I can replace the oled screen. It is 0.96inch oled display inside and and is widely available and it is very cheap. I ordered the screen and will replace it see if it work.
The hardest part in this repair is to open the front case cos it is glued down extremely well.

Here is the link to the image of the oled.

Hi guys, I had a friend buy me the E17 Alpen (to arrive on Monday). I will be using it paired with my Android Moto X Pure. First off, will this even work? I noticed that the e17 was designed mainly for connecting to PC, but this really won't be how I will use it. If the phone outputs digital audio via USB micro (I assume this is pretty standard these days?) then the only thing I would need to do would be to buy a usb-micro (output on phone) to usb-mini (input on e17) cable? Theoretically is this all that needs to happen? Anything I am missing?
How can I be sure my phone outputs pure digital audio via USB?

Thanks guys

Looks like all the e17 and e17k are dying in droves. I had one of each and both have frozen displays.
I had the e17 from new, died at the 5 year mark, so i got a 2nd hand e17k which also died recently.

 

[Erikesp]

Are they doing anything about it? Probably not since it has been this long

 

[garetz]

Looks like they have an inherent flaw built in that leads to failure, probably why they stopped selling them.

that is why there only 120$.
can’t expect much for a price like that I feel.
