The E3s are still for sale on dealextreme you know...
I reckon FiiO should give us some free E5s when they come out since this forum helped spread the word about it.

The FiiO admin James said that E3 has better oversea sale than China thanks to discussion on forum like Head-fi. I guess it won't be too out of line to suggest him for sending a few samples to head-fi'ers for some early preview.

I think he meant a source link to some of the info on the E5. That thread doesnt look like they are discussing the E5 but rather the comments of head-fi on the E3

The admin James mentioned about the spec of the upcoming E5 on two of his posts, as responses to a previous poster's suggestion to improve E3.

Maybe we can do a massive group buy or something.
Seems many of us are interested enough provided the costs doesn't go above $20.

If it is smaller, and comes with a volume control, someone with a Xin Super-Micro IV will have to compare them.
Results of a comparison may well be obvious, but it would be interesting to see how they differ, and how drastically, if in fact they do.

Colors is simply better in SQ.
Colors has better build quality, very low ground noise (inaudible to me), more accurate and more powerful. Colors also doesn't have synergy issue with most headphones, while E3 isn't particularly good with warm and dark sound 'phone.
Many people don't like UE's big stick design (or any of the float on that matter), but it never deter them from wearing them out - as long as it sounds good for its price, design shouldn't be the reason why head-fi'er won't want to use a piece of gear.
