I don't understand why, but an amp is better if it doesn't colour the sound in any way (unless of course you are aiming for more bass from a colour-the-sound-amp)

I will try it out with ipod touch later.
So far so good.

How does it compare with the Fiio e3? Does it have less background noise than the e3 did?
If you didn't have the e3 does the e5 have any audible background noise?

I pre-ordered my Fiio E5 from DealExtreme today for $21.51 (yeah, they added .01¢ for "tracking", even though they advertise FREE shipping), and their website indicated a shipping date of 12-10-08.
We'll see. As long as it arrives prior to Christmas, everything's cool.

I used CX300.
I don't have the E3 and never used it but if you turn down the volume on the E5 and up on the player, there will be no background noise

A friend of mine just preodered his from DealExtreme as well, and he found this on their site: DealExtreme indicating 14 days as a shipping estimate, so I hope you don't set your expectations too high for the shipping speed.

Is there any hiss using an iPod and LOD?

Well, my DX package got from HK to the UK in 6 days. Shortest ever. Shortest for me before was 10 days i think.
Remember the postal service is tuned up for Xmas. When I ordered my bits the system was boosted up, but still had the same amount of post going through - late November. Will be busier now, however it should still come in 10days or so I think due to the Xmas tune up.

It could be more faster. A couple weeks ago I've ordered something Sunday night (the night between Sunday and Monday) and Friday the mailman delivered my order. That's less than five days to ship it to me in the Netherlands!

Yeah, its down to DX though. The longest part was waiting for supplier, packing, shipping etc.
It shipped on the 3rd, arrived on the 5th (not taking into account time zones) a bit faster than normal, and DX were a bit quicker too, ordered 29th, shipped 3rd (arrived 5th).
