Judt thought I would let you know that I purchased an e17 of amazon and I checked on the web site and it shows up as fake.just great I thought
Too much midrange? What's that?!
Okay okay, too much mids is easier to accept but some good balance is still required.
If you're a flathead then you must be a midrangehead, since we're most sensitive to midrange!
Unless you're the driver variant, then I don't know what you might be sensitive to. Will have to look at your specs sheet!

How much do the Bass/Treble adjustments actually affect the sound? eg for the M50 how much would I have to lower/change the bass and treble to get it as neutral as possible?
Good question! I was going back and forth between 0 and 6db on both the E17 and E09K and prefer everything on 0db as it keeps the dynamic range of a recording intact, even if the bass often lacks punch. That said, I found too much DR can be a problem too. I guess it also depends on how loud a recording was mastered in the first place.
My specs:
20 Hz - 20 kHz, +/- 0.1 dB
20 Hz - 20 kHz, +/- 15 degrees phase shift
S/N: >96 dB
THD: < 0.001 % @ 1 kHz
IM: < 0.001 % @ 1 kHz
SID: < 0.001 % @ 1 kHz
TIM: < 0.001 % @ 1 kHz, broadband curves available upon request.
I must be nuts......what's wrong with me.....

Thread will allow people to vote on:
are you a basshead
are you a treblehead
are you a midrange head
are you a flathead.....which is really a midrange head?
please discuss your choice
You lost me there lol.
Oh, I see what you did. Rather, seems I lost you in the previous one. Of course by a flathead driver I meant those used to fasten screws
So no you're not nuts, you're drivers. Need a wrench for nuts.
If you do make that thread, PM me the link LOL.
I guess we should stop rolling this thread into the hay.
Speaking of which, dropped my E17 the other day :< -slightly- dented the back face. Unlucky that I dropped it on some steel bolt in the bus. Just a scratch, works perfectly, still looks perfect without a proper inspection, move on!
OK guys, sorry if this has been addressed. I searched but did not find any definitive answers.
I want to purchase an E17 and use as my primary portable. I would feed it with an iPhone 5 exclusively.
Question 1: Will the E17 decode a USB signal from the iPhone5?
Question 2: Is there a full size USB adapter from Fiio? I saw some sort of adapter in the pics in the thread.
I understand that there are lightning to USB adapters from Apple but those have the DAC built in and I want to send a straight digital signal to the E17.
Thanks.
I don't think the lightning connector has any line out leads to it so there is probably no USB means for it yet. But even for 30pin connection iDevices using LOD's, I believe only those $500+ amp models can get straight digital signal out. The price point is likely in large due to the cost Apple charged them to activate that function.
As usual, if my answer is inaccurate or incorrect, feel free to correct and enlighten me!

Thanks. Maybe Fiio will make the E18 iDevice compatible. I am going to have to go to the Go-DAP X route I guess. Its the least expensive alternative right now yet still about 4 times the E17. Should have stuck with my iPhone 4S.

Thats true. If you weren't concerned about dynamic range and just needed it louder I think you'd have more punch by going with 6DB. A lot of this reminds me how car stereos are best setup,
That is if you have a stereo its best to put in an AMP and listen at volume 10 on your deck than just crank your deck to 20.
But I should probably just shut up while I'm ahead....
