FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought
Apr 20, 2012 at 2:04 AM Post #2,926 of 6,777
Probably a dumb question...
 
I can't select the e17 as a wasapi device with foobar 2000. I can only choose it as a direct sound option. I can see the wasapi output support under the foobar components though.
 
Any ideas?

just wanted to throw this out there and recant what i've said a couple times before in this thread even. 
 
the well amped TF10 do NOT sound exactly like my dt880 250 -_-  I noticed much better detail in the highs today...dunno what I was thinking before...but I still find them very similar and suited to my taste :)

How about a well amped DT880 250?

I feel DT880 soundstage is already good as it is. It's the tf10 which sounds more like the dt880...but with a little less detail In the highs. Overall I like the dt880 better but both phones suit my needs and wants :)

I have a quick question regarding the FiiO E17 and Xonar DX. As the FiiO E17 can only decode 2 channels, would it make no difference, when gaming, to have the audio channels set to 6/8 hence making Dolby Headphone useless?

IT is useless having a computer set to more than 2. I don't get the last part. You can add a dolby effect if you want to.

My order for my E17 went in to MP4 nation on 03/31, mailed out on 4/10, dispatched overseas to Miami, Fl. 4/16.
 
I live in North Metro Atlanta.  Does anyone have any idea how much longer I should be waiting for my gear to arrive as I'm getting a little frustrated...?

Haha. Sad part is on modern hip hop songs. A +4 - +6 distorts so hard on those headphones. +2 and +4 is the most you can do with the DJ1/HFI 580's.

That almost got me to buy from MP4Nation.... looking at things now... Not worth it, Plus I got an PL11 for $10. I have a review of the PL11's if you want to know more about it. In my signature.

Is the "Wasapit output support" bolded and not grayed out like the rest? What version is it? What module is it? Mine is Version 2.1 with module "foo_out_wasapi" if it doesn't work, delete it from the dll folder. Instal it with the components instal tool or manually add it into the dll of the main folder and restart
