Only a few members here (and else where) received samples for feedback purpose. No actual sell nor is the amp in final production yet, but I'll suspect it will be ready in less than a month.

Nope, there's little hiss with the E5 even with sensitive IEMs.
I really, really wish for a case though. Would make the E5 the perfect starter amplifier package.
Regardless, I'm going to buy some for christmas presents.

Nice review. It seems a lot better when your DAP is amped.

What was that about an "optional bass boost"? And how's sound quality overall? The E3's not very airy-sounding...

How is the spacing between the headphone output and the volume control? Also, when you look at the pictures, it seems the input/output is recessed into the casing.
I own a Denon D1001 and it has a thick plug that can make it hard to get a good contact, so it would be nice if someone could help me out here.
I wouldn't want to buy one of these only to find out it doesn't fit.

Small jack, normal jack, big jack (12.5mm in diameter on the base).
Not recessed. It is part of the design.

there is a switch that switches from bass boost to flat (not bass boost).

Yes, the highs and mids on the E5 are much better than the E3.
