Your no-name cables already sound the same as high-end cables, no need to add anything (except maybe some blingy sleeves, ferrite beads, and such). 
Seriously, if you want better sound, upgrade your speakers, or maybe simply using better encoded audio files could help as well. A headphone amp in between the sound card and the speakers won't do anything good.

I wonder how easy it would be to spray the metal part white? I wouldnt worry about masking off the logos, it would hide the nerdyness and just look like a remote

Product availability update: MP4 Nation has sold out its initial 200 unit shipment (arriving this week) and is trying to get more for yet this month. Apparently, MP4 Nation is getting the first retailer shipment. Dealextreme notes a mid/late December release date.

From what I have just read on the mp4nation forum, they are getting the first 200 units off the production line and they will have serial numbers from 1 to 200, they have about 30 e5's left and they have extended the 15% off coupon till the end of December, which is nice.

I am sure glad that I ordered 2 of them last week, I will probably be one of the first 200 to get it for sure! I can't wait to test it with my 40/100-ohm MDR-NC60 (JE) NC Headphones, and the convenience of the Japan Edition short cord will come in handy for the E5, along with the supplied cords with the E5 and also the cords I still have from my E3's I currently have.
This will be me with the E5 hooked up to them: 
Any questions?

I just order one from mp4nation. Here is hoping they completely eliminated the hiss problem like they said. Has anyone heard a finished production model after they changed the circuitry to fix the hiss issue?

Thanks for the correction--I had misread the MP4 Nation availability news; my bad. (There's still some confusion in my mind, tho, as the availability info. excludes units bought as part of combo packages. My recommendation is to buy now, if you want an E5 yet this month.)
And the 15% code thru the month is a nice touch; it gets the E5 price just below the dealextreme price.

I wonder when DX is going to start shipping.

DX still says at its website that there is a mid or late Dec. estimated release date; but MP4 Nation seems to be receiving its stock a bit quicker than expected, so maybe that will be the case for DX as well ...
And I must say, nsx 23, what a dream collection of players, amps and phones there!

I think DX should get stock in pretty soon, since James from FiiO told me they were shipping out stock last week to retailers.
I'm not in a rush or anything, since I already have the prototype to play around with, but still.

Finally broke down and ordered one from mp4nation. Hopefully I will get one from the first batch  #180 perhaps?
