FiiO E1 + E7

Postby fuseboxx » Wed Jul 29, 2009 1:14 am

whoa.... E7 looks SEXY. Practically reposted from this thread on Head-Fi

Here is the rendering of the new FiiO E1, an in-line amp for iPod. No production shot yet since FiiO has yet to make the final production model. It utilizes the power supply and line-out signal from iPod dock connection and incorporate an digital volume control as a remote. You can think of it as the union of E5 + LOD. The ETA is around end of August / early September. Not sure about the price yet.

Here are some pre-production shot of FiiO E7, note that this is not the final look (but it probably won't be too far off). Battery life is expected to be >100hrs, The 5 sides of the housing are CNC'ed aluminum (with harden acrylic on the last). ETA is estimated at December (likely around X'mas like the E5). There will be a dock planned for later release, which will enable remote control function and two line-out (one variable and one not) in case you want to connect it to speaker or use the DAC function only. E7 will have a special dock connector for docking and there is also plan for further accessories development, which will allow connection to desktop amp, mini Hi-Fi set, speaker and such. E7's price is estimated to be lower than US$100.

i wish e1 would use the new iphone docks, which are smaller than usual. was expecting the e7 to be alot smaller too compared to the other 99$ DACs in the market. but anything can still happen before the final production =]

Is the E7 just a USB DAC?

Sorry, I meant yung DAC nya ay USB lang, i.e., walang COAX or Optical... This should compete with NuForce ($149??), Fireye II ($97)

siguro this could give us a rough idea:

the OP from the head-fi thread wrote:Here are some very rough idea of spec. Basically these are info I got very early on (few moths ago) in the beginning of the designing phase. So these could be totally wrong but I think it might give you an idea of how the actual spec might look like.

E1: Price target around US$30
Output power: 120mW
THD+Noise: 0.0080%
S/N ratio: 100dB
Frequency response: 20-40kHz
Playtime: Depend on the ipod/iphone
Power: Powered by iPod/iPhone

E7: Price target around US$80
Output power: 150mW
THD+Noise: 0.0060%
S/N ratio: 105dB
Frequency response: 20-40kHz
Playtime: >100hrs (current estimation)
Power: Build in Li-ion battery

[EDIT] Did I mention that E7 will probably have adjustable bass boost?

Kaso walang DAC :P
I have yet to measure the DC on the headphone out :D I hope someone can do this for me 'on the spot'. Hehehe.
