Good luck and check back in if that helps you out! My DAC would do the same thing (not an E17) because of the power-saving mode. Are you on a laptop or desktop?
to find one that didn't cut out after a few minutes of use. Now I'm tackling this problem.

Analog signal doesn't have bitrate / bitdepth to talk about.
Are there going to any updates to E17, like what fiio did with E7? It makes sense considering the X3 will be released soon and it will sound equal or better than E17.
That would show the bit rate, but remember that the E17 only show's 16/48, 24/96 or 24/192 on the screen.

no 24/48? that would seal the deal.
There won't be an E17 update this year. But there will be a higher end model that supersedes E17 in the line-up by the end of the year. It is called the E19.
It will play, but won't show up on the screen.
So there will be an E18 and an E19 this year? What will be better about both compared to the E17?
E18 is designed as USB DAC for Android smartphone. E19 is said to be even better than E17, but there isn't much other detail so far.
Any DAC regardless of make will cut out if your USB powers down. Not the E17s fault, although some devices are more sensitive than other in the driver side. There are also a few more tweaks you can do if that doesn't work out for you.
I'm eagerly awaiting more info about the E18. I love my E17, but docking and undocking it from the E9 every time I leave is a minor hassle. I also don't find the connector between the two because it feels super flimsy.
Here is how to get rid of a that sloppy feel when docking the E17.
