Read the last page or somethinf, im on mobile, but micca commented here(shows they read our stuff) and said something about receiving end o month i think

 

[faideelah]

Anyone know when the E17 will show up on Amazon? I got some Amazon credit that I want to use towards this.

 

[bowei006]

Miccas last few posts already told or said it. Maybe and just maybe during the next batch they receive end of month(doesnt mean sale, just means they receieve it but keep in mind they sell it after they receive it inconsistently) and some might make it on amazon

I've just purchased my e17 from mp4Nation, a company in HK who specialize in fiio products, they said their shipment is expected by the end of the month also, I'm so freaking excited to receive my new amp, it plus a pair of HifiMan HE-400's and I wont need any new audio gear till i'm an old man

Is this amp good enough to run cans in the range of 250-300 ohms like the Beyer DT880-300 or Senn hd650? Thanks

 

[kalbee]

Runs DT770/880@250ohms no sweat, gain@0, volume@~34
Still lots of juice. Never tried HD650

....that's what they all said..until upgradeitis hits.. basically checking and going on head fi moves upgrade itis, you will feel the need to know more about audio and..head fi just has this tune and you see it..but you try to avoid it. it works..until it gets bad,...and then it hits hard

Enjoying my E17 immensely. The sound has continued to improve for me, up to around 3 weeks. This unit is smooth as a baby's bottom and has very good separation.
 
There are two problems I've experienced thus far.
 
I had to end up shutting off the usb battery charger because I've noticed that the battery is constantly on charge mode. It will shut down for a while but starts to charge after a short time. This is when I have the unit on or off while plugged into the usb port. I can shut it off, unplug it from usb and let it sit there for an hour, come back, and it's charging again. I do not use this unit as a portable, only plugged into my Toshiba notebook for better sound quality than what I'm receiving with the internal sound card.
 
The other problem I experience (way too often) is a constant dropout that starts on the left channel. then seems to alternate between both left & right. I have to end up unplugging the unit from usb several times to get it to go away. Yes, I've tried a different usb cable.
 
If anyone has any troubleshooting ideas on either of these problems I'm experiencing, I'm all ears (no pun intended).

Doesn't sound right. Do you experience the same thing on another PC?

I said that at least 10-12 times in my life

It was never true...
 

 

[mrAdrian]

I must not need any new audio gear till i'm an old man

@sounddreamer

The usb charge thing i get too. Its not a problem nor is it abnormal for me

I have no drops here or any channel problems here. I have and do use OPT, AUX, and USB in very often on this device

 

[Necrontyr]

I did it, I bought them  Hifiman He-400's to pair with my Alpen E17, 400 USD holy hell I'm gonna get good use out of them )))

Don't have another PC to test on. I'm starting to get the channel loss more frequently from just a few days ago.

I will try and test the digital out to see (hear) if I have a problem there.

try that..but..idk, maybe try different computers and if it still happens see if you can get a RMA ..hopefully you bought it from micca.
 
but grreeat that you like the E17, you almost went to the other side for a while
