I bought my E7/E9 combo because of the incredible versatility of having a DAC/AMP and an even better one when I got home. My headphone jack on my mac broke (cost $250 to fix) so I planned on carrying the E7 with me all the time. I finally received my E7/E9 combo after waiting 43 days to get my package. I put the perfectly form fitting silicone case that came with it and found that the E7 is now to fat to fit into the E9 dock. When the E7 is docked without a case there is very little gap on the back do to the fact that the E7 docks at a 20 degree angle according to my protractor. So when you put the case on it is now too large on the back to fit.
I searched on this forum and found that no one has encountered such a problem. Then I started googling pictures of docked E7s and found that not a single picture showed the docked E7 with a case. Is it just me or does anyone find this ridiculous? So I chatted mp4nation's customer service, who are actually very responsive minus the really long shipping time, and he told me that he has never heard of this problem but also admitted that he has never seen an E7 in a case that was docked. He was pretty shocked and provided the same rationale about it not fitting because of the angle of docking . Furthermore, I find it amazing that no one has broken their encased E7 trying to jam it into the E9 because it is incredibly tempting due to the fact that it is so freaking close to fitting. I am just curious how come I could not find any reports on such a trivial but troublesome flaw. I do realize I can just take the silicone case on and off as needed, but the whole reason I got the E7/E9 combo in the first place was because of its convenience and versatility. Let me know if I am just being stupid if you got know problem with your Fiio E7/E9 products.
Note to Fiio:
Please make me happy and provide some sort of dock adaptor that will make the E7 dock completely vertical so you can save everyone the hassle of taking on and off the exquisitely looking case you provide. It really is such a simple fix and I am sure will you come up with a solution. Also I know you are probably very mad at me right now, but I have had great success with your products and do have an E11 arriving in a couple of days so I am a loyal customer not just a hater.
You can see from the image that it clearly wont fit because the rubber pushed the E7 in front of the actual docking plug. Even when you take the little rubber thing off in the back of the E9 docking site, it still does not fit. I am completely confused on how such a simple flaw can go unnoticed or if I am just stupid.
