Finished my search!! No more spending money! The Ergo 2 are keepers! Made some conclusions out of all of this, and my wallet is quite empty now...

I have Altec Lansing iM716's and some Nuforce NE-7M's on the way.
Other earphones I have are in my profile.
Will test out the E5 with the Head-Direct RE2 later.

I received these comments from my (adult) son last evening:
"I tried out the Fiio on the PSP last night, and I noticed that it seemed to help reduce background noise (perhaps from the original MP3 file, or from the Sony PSP amp itself) on quiet sections of the tracks that I listened to. It also sounded good on games."

my amp finally shipped after almost a month. I'm not really sure how everybody else in the same batch got theirs first.
but oh well. 7-10 days, they say. I'm hoping it's on the shorter end of that estimate.

after waiting for dealextreme to get a new shipment in or something since dec 18, i decided to just cancel my order and buy the e5 from ebay as suggested by someone a few comments up in this thread. it arrived today and out of the box i am impressed. it's my first amp, to go along with my first good pair of cans, my new sr60s. the bass boost helps give a much more full sound and fills in some of the lacking bass. for 25 dollars i'm very happy.

@ beez: i ordered it too from dealextreme. I think it will arrive next week (it said delivers in 14 days), and they sent it on the January 1st. I will wait.
Will try it with my Grado sr225, as it will be my first amp. (Even if I am already searching for home amp :P)

I got mine a couple of weeks ago off head-direct.com and using it on my Cowon D2 and my Yuin ok2's. It sound like there is more sound separation and more bass and the d2's roll off it gone.

Well, most of you have just gotten your E5, or in the shipping status. Mine E5 purchased back in early December while my short visit in HK already develop a problem. The power will not come on randomly after turn off. Only way for it turn back on is to plug in usb and charge, errrr.......... damn cheap crap, now I'm stuck with leaving it on all day and charge every night.

Your not stuck, there is a warranty. You should contact your supplier for a replacement before making negative comments.
FiiO have supplied many 1000's of E5's in the last month so yours is probably just an aberration. It does happen even with the very best of electronics.
