Is E17 compatible with USB audio output on Synology NAS? Anyone tried it?
Thanks
Thanks
Yay, the E17 never played nice with my Dell latitude XT, but it works great with my new Lenovo X230.
So glad to have good sound with my portable writing station now
What was the problem with it and the Dell?
That model always had grounding issues, so who knows what the root problem was, but any attempt to play music over USB was met with a layer of static over the intended sound. Tested it in Windows 7, 8, and Ubuntu, no change.
If I am correct, Chris is saying that since the E17 doesn't sport as much power as E09K (designed to work for 600ohms impedance headphones), the E17 is meant for headphones with low to medium amount of impedance (let's say "medium" is around 300 ohms) with mid to high sensitivity. Sensitivity & impedance = rough idea of efficiency.
And by efficiency it's sound level per unit of power.
Only if the 3.5mm jack isn't inserted fully - it needs to click into place.
has anyone had a problem with their fiio e17 only playing music out of one side of their earphone/headphone? I have to manually adjust it for a few mins to be able to hear both channels
tried my headphones in other things such as my phone and pc and it works fine.
Not necessarily, one chap has been driving a set of HD800's (300 ohms) with great results apparently. I hope to test mine out in a week or so's time...
That chap would be me, although now that I'm home from vacation, the E9 is being used pretty much exclusively. The E17 does a fair job with my new HD800s but the E9 and numerous other even better amps are the prefered solution. I'm amazed that the E17 did an admirable job, albeit using some equalization to suit my tastes. Now with the E17 docked to my E9 and using the USB input with no equalization, the HD800s have opened up even more.
I'm looking forward to the day I have enough money to get a decent balanced cable and likely a Schiit Mjolnir/Gungnir amp/dac combo! BTW - here's a pic of my temporary setup in the living room - too much craps on my desk for my E9/E17 and my cheap-***** headphone stand.
