Updated FiiO Alpen 2 E17K now available for the same price.
This product has been upgraded by FiiO in favor of a thinner (12.8mm vs the E17's 15.2mm), slightly lighter (110g vs 112g) device with better sound--the FiiO Alpen 2 E17K -- for the same price. The six buttons on the front of the E17 have been replaced with a multi-purpose wheel for menu/sub menu selections and only two buttons-- power/exit and lock/input buttons on the front face. The E17K has an upgraded USB receiver (SA9027), TI's all-new PMC5102 (higher S/N ratio, lower distortion, etc) and a different micro USB/docking port connector that will work with FiiO's upcoming E9S desktop amp expected to be available by June, 2015. It will not work with the existing FiiO E9 amp. You can read all about the new E17K here: http://www.fiio.net/en/products/38BEWARE: The E17K does away with the E17's SPDIF Input (Optical, Coaxial) digital connector, and only Coaxial In is available!
