Make a new thread with a poll on it.............may or may not work. As it depends if there is enough people seeing it and what not.

Hello all,

First of all, thanks to this forum I purchased my first amp (Alpen e17) and replaced my headphones (shure e215) and I am very happy with all of it (connected to an iPhone 4s).

I have 2 questions :
- what kind of battery is there inside the e17? Can I change by myself in case it becomes weak?
- I tried to connect my iPhone in an apple dock -> L9 LOD -> e17 -> senn hd 595 but doesn't work properly because the IPhone still controls the volume.

I would like to set me a fixed listening station next to my bed, the only solution I found is to purchase a E9, but I find more easy to put the source in a dock so I don't have to reconnect everything. How do you guys do?

Thanks,

Sorry, English is not my native language....

sorry, the eq is decided by hardware so it can not be upgraded to 1dB step

[elektrosteve]

Well, maybe in the next model.

It uses a lithium ion battery. As of this moment there is no found DIY self replacement battery. Another user, sounddreamer I believe took apart his E17 for.....for science of course
 
Here is his pic!

 
 
I wouldn't say the battery is insanely or would be insanely hard to find but as the E17 is just barely half a year old. You won't have many people actively trying to find a replacement battery for it themselves already
 
 
 
2:Omit using the dock...why use it anyway? To stand the iphone up? And..... if the iPhone is in a Dock then that means by the definitoin...of a dock the iphone will be plugged in already with another "Dock" connector to the bottom of the device meaning....you CAN'T have used the L9 with it.
 
3: Cheap listening station in my room would be
 
AKG K422
ipod touch 2G with L9 LOD and FiiO E5 amplifier.

Been thinking of getting a case for my E17 for a while. Dropped by at Bestbuy yesteryday and picked up this Wenger case (inside dimensions: 2.5" L x 1" W x 4.25" H). I took the E17 and UBS cable with me and tried fitting them in multiple cases there. This is the best case I found there. It is designed for small digital camera but E17, L9 and USB cable fit nicely in this case.

So I sold off my E17 and DT770 for a Lyr and HD650. 

Now I'm selling my Lyr and HD650 because I realized that I enjoy portable much more than my home rig. I'm going to be buying the E17 again along with the GR07 or IE8 (still trying to find an IEM.) 

What I would like to know is if the new L11 allows the Ipad to work with the E17. I remember before that you can't get it to work, is there a way around that now using the L11?

sorry, L11 will not make the E17 support iPad.

Thank you for all your answers Bowei006.
I emailed Fiio in order to get some info about replacement battery.
Now I will try to dig for a cheap listening station for my room, but is true I would appreciate the source to stand up / connect easily to it.

L9i is the only solution I Know but llmited to iPhone source. Maybe there is a better option out there, an inexpensive.
I also like L9 because it takes advantage of the e17 I already own but doesn't solve the source issue. Otherwise I need a source that stays connected all the time. Any idea?

Thank you.

(should I create a new thread?)

If you want to. Go ahead. Ask for other opinions
 
A dedicated room unit? How about another iPod with L11 with a good high quality($8) (don't buy super expensive) dual end 3.5mm cable connected to a desktop amp for use in your room? It's stationary?
 
The E09K has been released for "further intergration" with E17 and isn't an "upgrade" as a intergration" (in the words of CLEIOS)
http://www.head-fi.org/t/615915/fiio-e09k-announced-successor-to-e9#post_8485485
 
but I doubt you need that. E9 prices should drop if you are interested.

I recently got the E17 and the Shure SRH1840's.  You need a FIIO L10 cable to interconnect the ipad cck out - L10 - E17 -headphones.  It worked fine for me.

Is the bottom of the OLED screen supposed to squeak when I press down on it?
