Me too. I am REALLY surprised by the prices of the portable amps that do not sound as good in my work rig as the FiiO E3. I'm more than willing to write some of that off as synergy, but not all. Now that the E5 is coming out at a price that is in line with the price of the E3 and the added features, I'm excited to hear it. For $20 more, to get what has been posted as a very decent-sounding IEM, well, how could I not at least give myself the opportunity to be REALLY pleasantly surprised twice? I may not be, but $20-ish is a cost-per-experiment that I can live with. That's my long way of saying, "Seems like a great deal!" just like everyone else
