Got a day to sit down and break out the lights and camera to record this review for you.

I have had a good amount of time hands on with the E17. I used it daily at work and have tested its sound quality and features quite extensively. Being that I have been hands on with other DAC's in a similar price range I do think that this one is my favorite of the bunch.

Fiio does have other DACs and Amps to choose from, but the E17 was my favorite of the bunch. You can add the L7 to this to use it solely as a DAC for a high end system amplifier or use it as the DAC for the Fiio E9 (E09K) (also the E07K or Fiio E7 works with the E9)

I apologize that yet once again my camera (Nikon D5100) was out of focus during the recording, that thing has a mind of its own, but the unboxing part where video matters is crystal clear while the rest has professionally recorded audio where the audio is important.

I hope you find this review entertaining and educational, please feel free to leave comments & questions and of course any likes to the video will help my channel grow so ever slightly.
