Ah ya right. Sorry about that.
What I mean was using E17K as a DAC via usb and then connect it to E6 as amp through LineOut.

 
Why would you use the E6 though?  The E17K has a far better amp section which si also more powerful.  So why use the E6 at all?

Oh, the joys of the audio pursuit...

Impressions?

Hi guys, Again, wanting some recommandations, from others users on Amp/Dac, for using with my combo. X3ii + Westone w4r.

E12a or E17k ?! What are the advantages from one and the others.

Thx!

Fantastic review! Love comparison to other hardware!

Is anyone running the E17K with HD600? I'm thinking of getting an E17K but want to be sure it will drive the HD600. Any help much appreciated.

You'll want at least the E09 for HD600.  Something that draws its power from a wall outlet and not a battery or USB port.

I have a question is the a cable with a micro usb on one end and lightning connector on the other?
 
I really hate to have to buy a lightning to usb adapter(the CCK from Apple).
 
Thanks

These vs fiio q1 vs fiio e10k vs e18 vse07k vs q1 vs schiit fulla? Which is the best?

Vs. the E07 which I had before, it's definitely worth the difference. One thing to be aware of if you are wanting to use an Android device as a source is that the E17K isn't designed to work with Android (according to Fiio) and may or may not work.
 
The E17K didn't work with my previous Android 5 phone. I just upgraded to an Android 6 phone and have used it once with the E17K. It works and sounds good but its display only registers 48K / 16 bit which can be a sign it is working as an amp but not a DAC. It certainly sounded better than the phone, but I only had a limited time to listen so I need to check it out again. The Dragonfly Red and Black are also strong contenders in this price range, and do work with Android.

So it won't work with an android?

Other folk here have had it work, it may depend on the phone. On listening again I'm sure that on my new phone, a Vodafone Ultra 7 running Android 6.0 the Fiio is only acting as an amp.
