Hello Feiao. Why didn't you use a volume pot in e17, like e11?

Some reason:
 
1, The size limited, a potentionmeter need a lots of space to install. we need to control the size of E17, and still can dock into E9. 
 
2, The reliability, it is hard to prevent the unbalance and the adjusting noise of traditional potentionmeter.
 
3, The feature,  E17 will have balance function, also Bass and Treble adjustable.

Love the digital volume - much better for sensitive portable iems/cans to avoid deafening yourself/channel imbalance!
 
Still on track for February 2012?

Yes.

So when is the E15 coming out? If I understand it correctly this will be a one box desktop DAC and I can partner that with my E9. The DAC in the E15 will be going into the E17.
 
As it stands, I already have the E7 so If I get the E15 I will have a desktop setup (DAC/AMP) for home and also have the luxury of using the E7 as a portable? Or should I wait for the E17?

I thought the E15 was going to be a desktop DAC and Amp in one unit. Not just a DAC?

Yes E15 is an AIO unit. Holden4th has just not read anything in this thread.

Yes, I've read the thread but wasn't sure. So what you are saying is that the E15 will be a desktop DAC/amp?
 
If I get the E15 then I make my E9/E7 combo obsolete? At this stage I don't use the E7 as a portable.

 

[tme110]

you would.  But since you already have an e9 it would make more sense to wait and get the e17 to pair with it. but either way...

@sir Feiao
 
I hope you'll have a DAP by that time so that we can use the portable DAC )

 

[JamesFiiO]

everything is possible, but we must do what we should do first, E17 will released soon, and we will send some review samples to headfonia, ClieOS after 2 weeks

 

[FuzzyD]

Any news on the E15?

 

[milosolo]

I am anxiously awaiting this!

I'm also interested in news of E15, thought it was supposed to be released first?

 

[Mad Lust Envy]

My E9 has a problem with the 1/4" input where it adds a little distortion/noise/slight hiss to the right channel. I don't like the way the 3.5mm input sounds in comparison, so I either get another E9 or something else. I'd like to know the timeframe for the E15, because I'd go for that right now.

 

[hotsport]

I think the latest news is fiio decided to go with the e17 first. So I suppose we won't be seeing e15 soon.
