The Upgrade: Fiio E17 “Alpen”

 

e E10 and it would be nice to be able to sit down and chill for a while without having to worry that there are better things out in the market already. In this aspect, I think you really should blame Fiio, not me. My job as a reviewer is to tell you...

What’s there not to like about the Alpen? None. Well, I think it would be nice if it was priced slightly lower, say $120. Don’t get me wrong, I think $150 is a fair price, and the Alpen does sounds really nice with its midrange, soundstage, and that...

Cheap HiFi Solution

 

This is an amazing DAC & amp. Compact all-in-one but is able to produce quite significant sound. Tested Opt with my SONY D50 and I must say they sound quite similar (D50 PO and DAC to FiiO E17 PO). I like to test my equipments by driving a pair of...

The Real Deal

 

After all the hype, I didn\'t want to be disappointed. And I wasn\'t! This device is easy to use, is well built, and is a significant improvement over the build-in sound of my Apple laptop and iPhone. This is a nice combination of form and function....

Great bit of kit shame about reliability

 

I bought one of these in May 2012 from Amp3 in Edinburgh Was brilliant until October when the DAC element failed. I sent it back to Amp3 whose customer service was superb. They shipped me a replacement. The DAC element on the replacement failed within...

Excellent upgrade

 

FiiO manage to keep up the annual upgrades to their brilliant range of high-quality, low-cost headphone amps: the E17 is one of their best yet. It's a vast improvement on the E7, which it replaces (though it was good enough last year!) There's far more...
