I attempted to reply to a different post sorry for the confusion
"Welcome to Head-Fi! Sorry about your wallet"
Normal font is great to use. We can perfectly see it.
That happens due to consumer responce.
Generally, you do not want the computer to have anything less than 100% for 'volume' when you have a DAC attached and that volume control is directly interfacing with the DAC. This reduces the bit depth sent.
The E7 was made with FiiO thinking that up there. That you shouldn't turn the thing down from 100%. This is to guarantee quality.
Most people don't know this and are also of circumstance where they want to do it and dont' care. This created a problem as they thought it was a problem or didn't like the E7 not allowing them to change the volume when it was connected.
FiiO thus with the E17 changed it so that you can change volume. Of course, keeping at 100% is still fully recommended, but now people can do whatever they want.
Right on. Welcome!Just got the e17 today. It's my first headphone dac/amp and i'm impressed. I wasn't expecting it to improve the sound a whole lot but it made an immediate difference when using it via usb on my 2008 macbook. Even with low impedance headphones there was a noticeable difference.
Hi, I am a complete newbie to all things hi-fi so bear with me please..
so I am thinking of getting Fiio E17 for use with my laptop (lenovo t430s) and IEMs.
my question: can I also use Fiio E17 with my mp3 player, and connect it to my integrated amp (3.5mm - RCA cable), for use with my floorstanding hifi speakers (totem hawk)? or is this ridiculous and not possible..
thanks in advance
Thanks a lot for the quick reply.
yes my mp3 player is ipod/iphone.. so in addition to E17, I should buy the L9 LOD for the ipod and L7 for connecting to my integrated amp (for my floorstanding speakers)?
Thanks again!
re: L7 - I was thinking of using a standard 3.5mm to 2x RCA cable which would go to my integrated amp (where my floorstanding speakers are connected to).
So u are saying the latest batches of the E17 got issues? How was the sound quality from the combo?
