E7 = Portable DAC + AMP
E10 = Desktop use DAC + AMP
E17 = Upgrade version of E7? Not sure yet since it haven't officially release!

That's where you're wrong dude. If you've read any of E7 reviews or went to Fiio's website, you'll know it's a DAC/AMP.

Fiio E7 is a USB DAC Headphone Amplifier

desktop - no bat n screen
portable - got bat n screen
Can I use a DAP with E7? via (Standard 3.5mm stereo line-in jack for portable amplification with conventional audio source)
If E7 can work like Cypher Labs AlgoRhythm Solo™ that cool

Absolutely. That's what amps are made for. Usually a line-out from DAP is recommended, but some headphone-out works good too.


I think you're missing the point. What you mentioned is just the difference between E7 and E10, not desktop vs portable in general.

The use of the word portable itself is pretty vague. IMO, calling E10 a desktop DAC+AMP is a little inaccurate. Sure, it can't work as a portable AMP; thanks to having no battery and no analog input, but it's still a portable DAC+AMP combo. Mainly b'cuz I can use it anywhere w/ my laptop w/o needing a wall socket. Other DAC/AMP combo like Maverick D1 is what I call NOT portable. Another would be the Fiio upcoming E15.
