So I'm sorry if this question was asked before, but hopefully it's easy to answer
 
Can I use the SPDIF input on the E17 while it's docked with the E9?

 
Yes.

MP4 nation have just informed me they ran out of units as Fiio produced less than anticipated in the first run. What a surprise. I will be cancelling my order for now.

Wait until it comes to amazon maybe....

Guys I have an iBasso D2, and I think it's not making any difference when I connect it to my Macbook pro to a Denon D2000.
Do you think E17 will be a big step up from D2?

Same here. I was in the first batch with my order and now can't be fulfilled.  It's no headache ordering with Amazon anyway since it negates me having to pay a crapload to send the thing back from the US. The next time I'll sticking to my guns and ordering only from Amazon. Nobody else can be trusted.

I am still waiting for this to appear on the Amazon.
 
I can not find FiiO e17 yet on it.
 
Do you guys suggest anyone else sell it from US?
 
Please let me know.

I wonder if I should be nervous mp4 nation hasn't sent me any email either way... I did order toward the tail end of the pre-orders, but still before their website explained about the delay on the second batch.

Is the E17 useable with iPods?  I don't know anything about amps or DACs so this is probably a stupid question.

Yes through aux in
 
 

 

[slaw slaw]

Is there any way I can use the DAC? Or would I be better getting an E11 and L9?

With the e17? No, e17 with use in ipod can not use dac. Only amplifier through aux in will be active. If you ONLY plan to use with an ipod. I recommend the fiio e11 in conjunction with the fiio l9. If u plan to use with computer And laptop and ipod then e17

 

[slaw slaw]

OK, thanks.

Anyone know when this is released in the UK?
Good preorder price at mp4nation, and not in any rush so mid-end Feb is fine but just thinking about if I have any problems with it, it might be easier from a UK seller.

Seems the question is because Gsh1976 select the wrong playback device. please set the FiiO USB DAC-E17 as default Audio Playback device. 

 
I am not following you.  If I go to control panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Audio at the top it says sound playback and underneath is the default audio device which is listed as FiiO USB DAC-E17.  I attached a picture for your reference.

First thing first, have you tested the AUX-in yet?

The circuits are totally different. In E10, the TE7022 feeds directly to WM8740. In E17, the TE7022 feeds into WM8805 (a SPDIF transceiver), then WM8805 feeds WM8740. They might have used two of the same chip, but it doesn't mean the implementation is the same.
The amp section on E10 only employs the AD8397 to do both voltage and current gain to drive headphone. In E17, it uses two opamps (AD8692+AD8397). One acts as pre-amp while the other acts as the power amp, much like a setup you will find on the speaker world. It is that separation of jobs that makes it a better amp, so to speak, than the 'handle-all' AD8397 in E10. Of course, you also have to consider that FiiO is able to put in better implementation on the E17 as opposed to the budget and space limited E10.
 
 

Thank you, this is answer I was looking for (and the reason for me to buy it).
