Is it okay to leave this and E7 on all day?

I leave my E7 on weeks on end. Last time I turned it off was probably around Thanksgiving in 2010. I am not saying that this is a recommended usage scenario, just relaying some personal experience. I do have the key lock turned on so the screen is always off unless I need to change volume or something.
 
The longest I've gone without connecting the E7 to a charge source is 2-3 days. Rest of the time, the E7 has at least a few hours each day connected to the computer, from which it charges.

Hi,
 
We do not have any additional information on this at this time.  Chinese new years is going on right now, so the entire country is sort of in vacation mode. I think if you send James (feiao on this forum) a quick PM, he may be able to respond quicker.

What about the E9? Is it fine to leave it on all day?

 

[Jack C]

Hi,

I would think so. I would definitely turn it off if it will not be used for a long time though, if only to save power. Electronics do age with use, but modern mass produced solid state electronics tend to be very reliable.

I repeat, can you use the A1 as a power supply for the E9 and improve the sound from high impedance headphones?

No , and the E9 can drive high impedance well on it's own.

Know it can, was just thinking how much better the Naim Headline gets when paired with the NAPSC PSU in terms of SQ.

Hey guys,
 
Milosz just posted a comparison between the E9 and an Audio GD amp:

As usual, great work by Milosz.

I think you meant E9 vs Beta22.
 
I hate to say it....actually no I don't... I KNEW the Fiio E9 would stand up to the big boys. Now all the HATE can finally be put to rest about the Fiio E9 not being able to compete with high end neutral amps. To be able to stand up to the Beta22 and hold it's own... this is great news indeed. Especially being able to power the LCD2 and HD800.
 
As for as I know, anything else that would be SIGNIFICANTLY better, would be based off people's personal preference in colored sound, and not how much power is being fed.

Don't you know, differences between good solid state amps here are often greatly exaggerated?

 
Off topic but the sound science forum here is quite interesting to read, especially things about audiophile myths

Yeah, I definitely knew that, lol. That's why I was so happy when the E9 came out. I knew this would be the best balance of price/performance without much if any real sacrifice to the SQ.

I just ordered an E9 from Amazon (yesterday, actually). I'm pretty excited after  perusing Fiio threads and hearing about the great performance, even with difficult loads. I have been somewhat disappointed with my AKG K701s, but now I will get to hear what they can really do. Yay!

Great! hope you can share your feeling about your setup!
