I'm using an iPhone 6, Macbook Pro, and PC as my source with the A900x and DN-2000J as my headphones/IEMs. Any reason to choose the E18 over E17K and vice-versa?
 
Thanks.

Good questions but nobody seems to bother..

Yea oh well. I've added a Sennheiser HD 600 to my collection. Thinking about getting a tube amp like the LD MKIII. But I've decided to keep the E17K and it's been great so far.

Does it work with your iphone the E17K? (I have an android phone but I would like to know )

I don't really use it with my iPhone really, thats what IEMs are for. I've heard it works with the USB camera adapter for iPhone but that's too much cabling for me. I do know it works with android. Tried it on an HTC M8 and it ran great.

Thanks for the info brother.
 
I am going to buy one very soon. It lacks the optical in of the other model but they say that it has better sound. I was about to buy a Valve amp but there are so many choices and I get confused. Also valve amps are very expensive for my budget...

FWIW, I tried both an E17K and an E18 using the USB OTG input with my Galaxy Note 5 phone, and both worked fine with no issues. I have not decided a sound preference, but I do like the E17's digital display of bit-rate. 
 
Given 256GB micro SDXC cards, somebody needs to build a very small OTG dongle for phones with 4 connections, one to the phone, one to the headphone amp, and 2 card slots (count these as connections). This could give a very portable, phone based player solution. Most phones just don't have the storage capability for 24Bit audio.
