XP 32bit (This was only a driver test, did not check audio)
 
Tried software and hardware reset still no luck (how long should i hold down the reset button?)
 
 



it take 3 or 4 seconds to reset E7/E17.
 
We will discuss with Tenor to see how we can do to help our user with the compatible problem about win xp, win 7, mac os!

it will take 45 days to produce the second batch of E17. very sorry for that and I guess you all know that the CNY is a big problem for all chinese brand and there are only 7 workers back to our factory now.

Ok just received my E17 and plugged it into my iPhone 4s with Headphone Out and Westone 4s.
While I am at work and dont have the mindset to fully evaluate the sound quality, the deep dark black background with no hiss at all is very obvious. I do not have much expereince with those 500+ Dollar Amps but this one seems very high quality. I can compare my Zo3 (version 3) at the moment and to my ears it is like night and day concerning that background hiss.
 
Excited to use the E17 at home with LOD and my ALAC Files

Does this mean the release date of middle of Febuary will be pushed back for the second batch? (I knew I should have ordered the first batch)

Just a quick question regarding the E9+E17 Combo: is there any way to make the E9 switch to taking the E17 as source without having to unplug the line-in cable on the E9?
=> if u have a line-in cable connected to the E9, it will always be taken as the source, E17 is not working when docked in.

Not, the first batch will includes two shipment, and there are still more E17 under production and will finish in this month due to the long long holiday for CNY. so far there are only few 
 
worker back to factory and all the current E17 were made by our engineer and office staff.

Personally i would love to have this feature, as i have a couple of DACs and Amps.
It's not really a major flaw but i would come in handy if u also use the E17 as part of ur mobile rig .
I use the E9 for bedside listening, atm with a µDAC. The E17 as DAC is a big improvement from the short listening i had till now.
I will from now on use the E9+E17 combo, but if for whatever reason I dont have the E17 at home, it would be nice to just use the µDAC then without having to (un)plug the cables.
