Is the e17 out ? Can we dock into e9 instead of e7 ? What is e15 ?

Did you read any of this thread?  You can search in this thread too - there answers are there several times over including the previous page.  But no the e17 wont be out for a while - first the e11, then the e15 then the e17.

E17 have the same dock as E7, so it can be docked into E9, so the user of E9 can upgrade the combo to 96k/24bit USB decode.

when is the estimated release date of the Fiio E17?
 
If you know it, please be helpful (won't take long to type it out) rather than making me delve into this massive thread!!

FiiO generally doesn't want to keep a firm date for any future release. They just keep a relative date for the nearest release, and for what I know, E17 is not the nearest release just yet.

still waiting for e15 updates! i hope the dacs and etc... aren't outdated

So feiao, will we be able to utilize the E17's coax and optical inputs while it's plugged into the E9? Has that question been answered yet? I would love to - and probaby will - get the E17 as a portable DAC for my Iriver, being able to use my CDPs optical out with it would just be the icing on the cake.

I hope that both the E15 and the E17 will get an less than1 ohm output impedance to accommodate for low impedance headphones.

I don't know for sure, but it would really surprise me if the E17 would allow coax/optical inputs while docked to the E9. For one, it would be kind of messy to have wires stringing up to the E17 while it is docked, and optical cables are not very flexible. Of course you can use a L7 to get line out from the E17 and feed that into the E9 that way. 
 
If you are playing music from a source that only provides coax/optical output, then the E15 will make more sense if you want to keep it as clean as possible in terms of equipment clutter. The E17/E9 combo will be for those who want the versatility of a portable/desktop combo, and primarily use computer as desktop source.

Seeing how I will be getting an E9 soon and am planning on getting an E17 to connect to my Iriver via optical, it would be nice to be able to use gear I already have instead of buying yet another amp. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

You will definitely be able to do that - I just doubt you will be able to do that while the E17 is docked in the E9. You can feed optical to the E17 and use an L7 with the E17 to get line out and feed that into the E9.

I think you should have E17 out on the market before E15 then,

because there still is a large amount of E9 inventory, and people who already has E9 will be able to use it.

Rather than going to the E15, because having E15 is like stabbing your sale on E9 and E7/E17.

I think people would like my plan better.
