From what he has posted, I assume he already has an E9 and is just looking for an USB DAC that can feed it.
 

Thanks for pointing out. In that case my statement will not be valid, since you are not using the AMP from E10.

thanks for replies
 
looks like i'll be getting the E10 "soon" (is there a release date ?)
 

Within the next 5~10 days, I believe. China is currently in their national holiday week so businesses are closed at the moment. We should start to see the first batch being shipped out by mid next week, I think.

Can you compare this to Yulong U100, iBassa D2+Boa and NFB-12? Is the Fiio a winner in the <$200 dac/amp category? Btw, can the e10 be used as a pre-amp?

So where do we order from?

I have neither of them. The only iBasso amp+DAC I have now is the D-zero. The only thing I find to be better on the D-zero is soundstage, other than that, E10 is pretty much the better sounding of the two. Of course, D-zero is really meant for portable use and not quite a direct competitor to the desktop only E10.
 
No, E10 isn't designed to be used as pre-amp.

No idea, the usual FiiO dealers I guess? I know MP4 Nation already started a pre-order, but you can always contact your local FiiO dealer and ask them if they will stock it or not.

hi everybody, im planning on buying some akg k702 headphones, i already have a sony mdr-v6 headphones. I'm starting recording on a mac with a m audio interface and i also like listening to music and would like to buy a portable amp or maybe normal amp which do you recommend? my budget is no more then 150 bucks

 

[tim3320070]

I purchased from MP4Nation on Sept. 25th, I wonder if I'm in the first batch or not? Anyone know?

Hello MrAdrian

I have the HD580/E9/E7 combination and can vouch for the fact that it brings my Senns to life. The power from the E9 is, I believe, the major reason. I also use an HRT Music Steamer II as an alternative to the E7 as a DAC and this is even better still which vouches for the E9 as an amp. The HD580, despite the fact that it is well over 20 years old is a superb headphone and driven by the E9 it just shines.

I'm interested in seeing what the E17 does when it appears next year.

 

[mrAdrian]

Great news! Can't wait
 
Might be another week till I order the E9 then.

That probably makes a big difference.

Yes, preorder, not 2 so we'll see.

My E7 just died, and I was looking to get it repaired, but after reading that review, I think I'll just buy an E10 instead.

It should pair nicely with the HE-300s I'm planning to buy before the year's end.
