Thanks ,thats interesting , which generation of ipod are you using with it ? as the earlier ipods go louder than te latest models 

I have a 120GB iPod Classic (late 2008 model)
 
It sounds pretty nice stock, to my ears.
 
The Line Out is rather powerful, to my ears. Hooked up through a Cmoy (at gain of 11) makes it waaaaaay too loud.

Ipod classic via Line out is best ,hooked up to a portable amp ,25-30 % volume really rocks and makes my phones sing

i'm going to go insane, this thing keeps BEEPING !!! T.T very loudly too! around every 30 seconds, does anyone else have this issue?? please help~!
 
the beep only comes while it's connected to the pc via usb cable
 
---
 
ok, after some research, it shows that it's the "propagamma" asio driver which is causing the beep
 
1 - the fiio e7 wasn't detected out of the box on my laptop (windows 7, 64bit)
2 - checked fiio's website, they had a download for fiio e7 driver
3 - found out the downloaded driver was for a 32bit OS only
4 - i went and downloaded the 64bit version of the driver but it was only a demo and the key that comes with the download from Fiio's website does not work on this version
 
what kind of a half assed product is this?! they say it's plug and play, which it wasn't, then they provide only 32 bit driver which is useless for 64bit users
 
i gotta say... i'm pretty disappointed in the product
 
are there any 64bit windows 7 fiio e7 users out there? how did you get this damn thing to work properly?

Pretty sure it is your Windows 7. I have no problem using my E7 on my brother Dell XPS (Windows 7, 64bits as well). It did pop up at first connect saying there is no driver for it, but it then went online automatically searching for drivers. After it downloaded and installed two drivers by itself (one for USB DAC and another for USB input), I can play music on the E7 just fine.
 
I would suggest you go into the device manager and uninstall whatever drivers you have in there, then refresh the device manager and it should start looking for drivers online by itself.

Hmm.  I hooked mine up to 64-bit Windows 7 Pro, and it "just worked".  It loaded the drivers automatically and started outputing audio on the E7.  No beeps so far.
 
Any chance this is a charging issue?  You sure it isn't a low battery beep?  Is your USB charge turned "on" in the menu?

+1, same here. Plug n play worked fine for me.

Am I right to assume that there are currently two versions of the E7 floating around? One has a clear plexiglass cover and the other one metallic frames, can anyone elaborate on this?

I think that if you ordered it a couple years ago, it's gone through a couple important revisions since then.
 
Edit: they all have a plexi screen and metal frame

 

[reiserFS]

This is how it's presented on the Fiio official website:
 

 
And this is another version I've found:
 

 
So I take it the last picture shows the old version, right?

 

[JamesFiiO]

Dear all:
 
           We only make very few engineer version for our sales agents! which is full metal case! And the formal version is plexiglass cover!
 
BTW. some of our sales agent suggested us that the original version is not so fashion , and it is a little similar with Hisound's amp3! haha!

About the compatibility problem of E7!  so far we had only receive two reports under MAC OS!
 
 
And I am very sorry, it is hard for us to test all kind of PC/Mac , and XP, WIN7, MACOS, LINIX!   We can only test it in our laboratory ! and it do work great under PC/MAC/notebook/ipad, and XP,
 
WIN7, MAC OS! also, TI told us the PCM2706, whicn is used in our E7, is support WIN and MAC OS, and it do work great except very very few case!
 
So far we are still trying to solve this individual problem! but the question is we can repeat the problem in our laboratory!  and we had already contact TI to get some technical support! and hope
 
our user can share the experience if you have such problem by solve it by yourself!
 
 
Best regards!

That is my picture and it is a demo unit. The internal is identical to the final version but FiiO changed the front plate design to a full plexiglass version. Only a few demo units have the same font design as mine.

I just want to thank you and your team for all the great products you have brought out in the market. I have been using the E5 for some time and just placed my order for an E7 couple of days back. Its great to see a company that produces quality products that are built solid, re-produce great sound and are manufactured at such a low price point. I hope your company keeps growing and keeps bringing out these great products to the market.
