Mp4nation, 141 USD with the L9 and IEMs, no express shipping. I wonder where the E17s will be sent from. China ? That should be good for me because I'm in Australia.

I've ordered from MP4 Nation and it took a 7 days to deliver to Brisbane and this was the week before Xmas. Fedex will probably not be worth it and i'd be surprised at more than a couple of days faster.
 
 
Mikes review is very good. Just confused as in the E10 review he says it sounds like a $130-140 product. Then goes on to say in the E17 review how it is better in just about every way over the E10 but he would be happier if it were closer to $120 than the $150. Might have to question him myself on this as these seem contradictory statements.

They sell for $134.50 pre-order price....

If you are not sure about the accuracy of headfonia's review (I tust him very much), wait for ClieOS's full impression. ClieOS is very accurate! I can guarantee on that, because everything he reviewed, that also was in my possesion, he exactly described it like how I also felt about the sound.

try to write so many reviews and you will fatally tangle your thoughts... lol

I was going to get the E17+E9, but after reading the Headfonia review for it, I think i'll just get the E17 from Amazon.  It should be enough to properly drive D7000s (I hope- what do you guys think?)  I guess I'll just wait for a new version of the E9.  Thanks for posting that review!

For the guys that ordered the E17 from mp4nation, I found the delivery time frame.

2-4 weeks to the US, and that's assuming they get it on time and it's not backordered
 
why can't I be a patient person?

Eh.. I'm cool with it being I had little other choice. Now, if amazon gets it and even with ordering late, I could have gotten it faster... damn.

Does anyone know if it works similar like the E7, where if you plug it to a Mac via USB, you cannot control volume thru the system OS, but rather through the buttons on the device only?
 
If so, then I will stick with the E10.

You can adjust volume on E17 via the PC's volume control. However, there is a good reason not to - PC volume control also affects digital data resolution. A typical music files is 16bit/44.1kHz, if you lower volume on the PC, the internal process will also lower the overall bit rate of the file, so you might only getting about 10bit on the output instead of the original 16bit (and it get worst the lower you go). That's why some manufacturer disable the volume control on the PC side.

I have posted my impression about E17+E9 on page 10, have a read.

Do you know which opamp is used on the E17 headphone section, that makes it sound better than AD8397 used on the E10? 

 

[Maxrunner]

Is there a Euro store that already lets pre order?

 

[putente]

Not that I know of. I'm trying to get information with FiiO of any possible shipping date to sellers in Europe, but I've got nothing from them so far...
