I'm not a bit surprised. Have you noticed that more or less everything suggested here as improvements to the E3 are going to be implemented on the E5? Optional bass boost, on/off switch, better shielding, usb rechargable battery, volume control etc.

With all the extra stuff in the signal path of the E5 I'd actually think the E3 will have better SQ.
I'd like to see a well shielded E3 with top quality parts and without any switches or controls.

Wicked 
Cant wait! If it is better than my cmoy i will give my cmoy away, and use it in my portable rig as well as my bed rig (nice n small fiio's are!)
Then i wont get a D2 Boa after Xmas until i know if they are going bring out a DAC before/in the new year, i imagine the DAC would be good, maybe a bit better than my U Control + FiiO e5, and hopefully a fair bit better than my U Control + Cmoy, and miles better than my U Control alone... I hope! 
Matt

E5 Pricing
Look at my earlier thread on page 8. It will be available for about US$16 in the shops in China, figure additional postage costs when it hits the streets/ebay.

It sounds so interesting, thank you.
I hope they will be 8€ with the ship like the E3

I think it will be about $20 from DX, maybe a bit less...

That sounds about right. Sure will be nice to have a built-in rechargeable.

Yeah, i had a SuperMacro3 $200 amp, and you could only charge via mains cable or remove all 8 AAA batteries (and in my charger only charge 4 at once) but with USB you can charge with laptop (convinient for my use) or plug into an adapter.
Yeah, $16 + $2-4 shipping with DealExtreme sounds about right i think... We'll see.

Although color is moot point to most of us, I hope James and his crew over at FiiO will come out with not only black and white versions of the E5, but also silver for those of us who may own a silver DAP (and there are many on this board who do, like myself). I aleady wrecked one E3 shell by trying an "East L.A.-style" Testors silver spray-paint job on them, and I don't want to have to go through all that crap again.
With improvements like improved boost over the E3 and a few other things already mentioned in this thread, I can't wait 'til November for (at least) some shots of it to appear in the press, let alone be for sale.
BTW, I tried my E3 with my 16-ohm cling-wrap modded MDR-EX90's and they sound even louder and more heavy than straight to my HD5 (through my RM-MC40ELK remote), but I currently don't use them in my setup because of the color clash (black amp and silver accessories).

What happened? The color didn't stick?

I can't wait until this bad boy comes out. And for that matter, when my e3 finally gets here from Hong Kong...
