Me too, with ems. I still don't know how good it will be with my archos5/sennheiser CX300. I hope it will be good!

Cool! I'll personally wait for Dealextreme. Should be a bit cheaper (shipping) and Ill have more money by then.
If you had PL20's in white (sister wont have anything but white) I would have got both now...

I ordered a couple of them too, can't wait until I finally get them, then I can change it up between my IEMs/buds and my arsenal of cans.
The black w/ white one will go great with my Sony MDR-NC60 Noise Canceling cans, and will give me both the volume (the NC60s's are 40-ohms with 102dB with NC on) and fuller SQ I need out of them.

Yep, which is a shame because otherwise the red/black combo looks fantastic. I'm sure a simple LED change wouldn't have been difficult to do if they had the time.
I guess I'll be the only one with a priceless red/black prototype then

Just ordered the PL-30/E5 combo. I just found about the E5 and PL-30 a couple days ago while trying to get better sound from my mp3 player. Glad I stumbled upon this place!

A question for those who tried the amp:
is there a way to understand the battery charge level?
How can we understand if the battery charge is going down and we need to recharge it?

In short, no. The battery is quoted for 20hrs per charge, but I think you should charge it after 16 hours of usage just to be safe. As typical for many portable amps, it will probably start sounding funny (volume drop, distortion and noise) once the battery is getting too low.
