Any advantage of this L-shaped LOD versus the non-L-shaped L3? I have a 30Gb iPod classic and want to connect to the Fiio E17. Thank you...

No advantage. It's personal preference, your set up my favor one style over the other.

I also use the iPod classic. I think the advantage is the way the amp will fit in relation to the iPod. It is easier to stack the two units instead of having to place them side by side. With the wire preformed, I don't worry about crimping the wire. Hope this helps.

It makes it easier to stack devices without crimping wires. I have an iPod touch 4th Gen and a Fiio E11K that I stack with the Fiio rubber band. It works great.

The L shape allows you to "stack" the components. Just better for carrying in a smaller package.

i've heard that there is a ipod adapter that connects through the input where you normally charge the ipod but not sure if it's compatible with your ipod model since i myself have an android phone. however, you can hook up your earphones to the fiio e17 and from the fiio e17 there is a separate aux exit that you would need a separate aux cable (amazon $3 to $4) would go to your ipod, cell phone, pc, laptop or tablet where your earphones normally go.

That is up to you. It works both ways. I like using my iPod Classic to control music. When using the stereo, you are limited on searching for music. I have to say the USB port works very well. I love it. Sometimes just load up a USB memory stick plug it in and enjoy the sounds.

I've never had the SliverII. But I think it's an upgrade with HD sound quality and a more durable design. That is just based on sight and reading the description.

I have the 3rd generation (new one) 32 GB IPOD Touch. Works great with this unit. Only problem. The IPOD played perfectly with the default dock adapter, but is a little jiggly. I took that adapter out and replaced it with the one that came with my IPOD. I could not get enough clearance. The IPOD wouldn't make the connection - wouldn't play. I replaced it with the adapter it came with. No one else has this complaint. Plays great music. Also, it's my understanding that the 2nd and 3rd gen IPOD Touch are identical physically, so it shouldn't be a problem. To be safe, this is available in store at Target for $79. 90 day return policy.

The E17 has three inputs, USB, a special 18-pin Docking Interface and a 3.5mm aux input. You could connect the FiiO E17 to your headphone jack on your receiver and then connect your headphones to the E17. I am not sure how much this would improve the sound since the real use of the E17 is to convert digital audio to analogue audio. It does this very well and greatly improves the sound from a PC.

Yes, happened to my FIRST E260 that I got, locked up until the batteries died completely then worked like a champ......I still returned it for a new one though (that was after a week of owning it), ever since then, no problems whatsoever until I tried to manipulate the title of a folder already on the Sansa......no no no, don't try to change the titles of folders that are already synched on the little guy......bad juju. I updated my firmware/software 3 days ago, and it was the best thing I've done with this yet: It gave me 3 new options for the Equalizer (all bass, all treble, and Custom). I adjusted the EQ manually and it sounds just as good as any of the Ipods I looked at prior to deciding on this baby. I would buy this anyday over an ipod, my Sopranos videos play on here, if you have the patience to wait for the software to convert a .wmv to an .avi otherwise, this MP3 player rules. Question: Does anyone use this to connect to a dock that is advertised to work with an Ipod? Does it work?

Option 1: Get the Lightning to to 30 pin adapter of APPLE. (yes the APPLE brand is necessary as it will enable the DAC output.) Then use the Fiio L9 cable to connect it to the E18. Option 2: get the camera connection kit and use it to connect a micro Usb adapter to the E18Option 3: Just use the amp feature.. (get the E12 instead)

Yes, you will notice sound improvement unless your car's stereo system isn't good. USB cable doesn't have to be used, it's for charging iPod, but FiiO drains iPod's battery quickly, so you probably want to have it plugged in. Get it, it's worth it. (Note that this is not for newest iPod with lightning connector)

I've found my dock is too flimsy, and so when I put my iphone on the dock it leans back and doesn't play anymore. It does play the mini, but it is touchy. I have found that a pig tail 30 pin cord seems more durable and plays as well or better. My new ipod nano didn't have a 30 pin connection, and so I bought an adapter, but it didn't work. Not going to buy any more docks.

You shouldn't have any issue using an "L" shaped headphone jack at all.The case leaves enough space to utilize almost any type of headphone jack :)

To me it sounds notably better than the 535, but only if sourced properly. If I listen the the 535 & 846 on my IPod, I notice a difference, but not enough to warrant the change. When sourced by my Astell & Kern with FLACs, however, I notice a significant difference. The ability to change the inserts makes a difference. I use them with the warm/bass inserts and the yellow foam ear buds and they are amazing. I still use the 535s for activities (mowing the lawn, moutain biking, etc) with an iPod, but always use the 846s in other environments. I hope this helps

I use an iPod Classic (older model 20gb) and it works fine. I do not have an iPhone but play my Zune through the aux input. I also have a Google phone (Nexus 5) and play it through the aux input with good fidelity. The sound is very good and I don't play my Bose 901's in the living room anymore because the dock is so convenient and so good. I like th price/value factor of the Altec Lansing docks. I still have my first one playing in the basement...Nice!

I have the "long" one which will play for several hours (at least 6 at the volume levels I use). I found the tiny one (nearly square) which is illustrated totally unacceptable and returned it. User interface didn't work right.

yes.absolutely. i have a fiio11 and the combination of these two as the result is remarkable. you will be happy...... mehdi boulder co.

No. This is for iPods/iPhones that have the 30 pin connector. The 5g iPod Touch has the lightning connector. FiiO currently don't make a lightning line out, so you would have to get the 3.5" plug they make

hi! does any of you know if this dock is by any chance compatible with a 30g classic ipod?! i'm having trouble finding one that it is - all the info is very confusing. any input would be much appreciated.
