  Is this new model still draw too much power on an iPhone with the CCK?

 
NOT

 

[JamesFiiO]

James, is that will work with Android with OTG? FiiO will sell micro USB to micro USB OTG cables?

EDIT: Looking about, I found the FiiO L15, but do not know where I can buy it and do not know if the E17K support this function. Waiting for someone to solve this question!

 
 
The new E17K can be used as extra DAC for Android Phone with OTG featuers, and iDevice with CCK. but as you all known not every Android Phone can supports USB digital audio out , and we don't want to get a lot of question about this, so we have not put this feature on our website. 
 
but it does support.

Almost all DAPs, DACs, etc. have pretty same flat FR chart, but never the less, they sounds very different.

 
Saying the "highs roll off" is contradicted by the frequency response graphs.

Of the already owners of this e17k, can someone try it out on a PS4 and see if it works? (since usb dacs have been working with PS4, I would really like to know in order to buy one )
 
Thank you in advance

Thanks for the reply! And the micro to micro OTG, just as it has for the E18? You sell them? How can I get it?

Yes, it is the same but we just produced it for E18 and not for sale individual.

James, would you by chance have any date or "common knowledge info" regarding the amount of channel imbalance with other typical amps in the $100~$2,000 range at all?  I know many of the Fiio amps (including E18) have specs of < 0.5 dB, so just wondering how that compares to other headphone amps - cheap or expensive.  I believe there are other users out there who would also like to know too.

The X1 doesn't have a coaxial out but the X3/X5 do. Anything that has coaxial output can work with any DAC that has coaxial input.

= = = 
Thanks. Now, my curiosity is half-way satisfied. From the day I bought my X3, I was wondering if I "need" the coax out. Once the E17K lands here for sale, then I can find out if I like how my "want" is once I get to try a coax-to-coax for this pair  I can then try out the X5, then decide if I will wait for the X3K before succumbing to the X7

Looks like they're on sale now at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Fiio-E17K-ALPEN-Headphone-Amplifier/dp/B00RPD7KP8
 
Is this meant to also more or less replace the E18? It looks like it has better specs than the E18 all around.

Will it sound on par with e12 in terms of amp quality? Which one would be better for IEM? (Without thinking about DAC function)

E17k is better for IEMs. E12 has too much power, hiss and channel imbalance when pot is very low so I wouldn't use it with IEMs ever.

There is a new E12A, if u havent heard about it. I started a threa on it a while ago, its still pretty active

It's just an amp not a DAC. You can't use the line out on the Z series of cards whilst have it in Headphone mode which means no virtual surround sound.

I was talking about IEM usage. U were comparing it to the E17k. The E12A was designed more for IEMs, but can still be used for bigger cans

E12A is just an amp. E17k is a DAC and amp.
