I bought the E9 a while ago to use with my Beyer 8800s. I would get static from the line out occasionally if I moved my headphone cable just a tiny bit ... Never got around to returning it (which I should have) and ended up sticking it in my closet ...
Fast forward to today, when I decide to dig it out again to try it with my new Denon D2000s ... only to find out that the right channel is gone. The Fiio E9 will NOT produce sound out of the right channel. Tried different cables, double checked the (very simple) connections ... made no difference. Removing the Fiio E9 from the chain solves the problem ...
I am pissed. I bought the Fiio because I read a lot of glowing reviews ... Now I google my issue and find out that there are other consumers with the exact same problem ... and no one has found a solution.
My advice? DON'T buy the E9.
Yes I know a bunch of people will probably respond to this post by talking about how much they love their E9s, etc, but that won't help me one bit and it doesn't change the fact that I am not the only one with this issue ...
