They will have shipped 6K E17 units alone in a few months. ...wow. it kinda shows how far spread audiophilia is these days
1: yes. you would need to use the FiiO L7 to bypass teh E17's amp and use as a DAC. the FiiO L7 also works with the E7. Make sure to use the LO bypass switch on the E17.
@weitn this is exactly what i wanna do in the future. Other users have had a hard time telling apart and justifiying half thousand or more dedicated dACs so i just wanna use the e17 as one with l7. Fo u have exp with other dacs.? Comparisson?
So tempted... Looking forward to more comparisons between this and the Audinst HUD-MX1. Sounds like I have some time to make a decision at least...
Just concerned about driving the HD580s w/ this

One interesting question,
SONY's D50 is very popular in Chinese market and regarded as one of the best portable audio device. but it seems that it is not popular in head-fi.
But D50 does supports 96k/24bit WAV and support digital output through optical output.

Listed on the specifications:
Line Output (Optical) : Output imped: 220 ohms, Load imped: 22 k ohm. Digital = Output level: -21dBm to -15 dBm
The only question is PCM-D50 is not longer available in US, but it is available in China, also SONY China promoted it as a portable music player in 2011 because they found so many
chinese people buy it for music but not for record, LOL.

Can anyone tell me if an IEEE1394 port or "firewire" cable can be used with the line in adapter to supply a 24/192 signal to the E17?
Interesting! But I guess it's quite expensive...
Still looking for some portable digital source.
Also, my laptop's fan is so noisy...my open cans can't block that annoying sound from it
Hmm... When I connect the L9 to my iPhone I occasionally hear some crackling noise... You know, the same ones you hear when your radio gets bad signals.
Anyone has experience with this? I was wondering maybe it's caused by my phone's wifi...? It's pretty annoying especially when wearing IEMs. It occurs sometimes even when wifi is off.
