Nope. Actually most canned spray paint comes out in more of a flat, matte finish, plus it (the paint) was constantly sticking onto the paper base I set it on (due to excessive paint on one coat, as I am too anxious). I just wish that I could get more of an automotive OE clear-coat finish (in metallic silver) instead of the buck-and-a-half canned spray-paint job.

You could just use a chrome acrylic-based paint.

Anyone tried the e3 connected to portapros? Is the bass too crazy fat with this combo?

awesome, I just waded through the 11 pages. I've been considering a portable amp for awhile now and this seems to fit the budget just fine. I like my bass so I have the portapros and I ordered the M-audio q40s last week. The big bonus on this is the optional bass boost since I dont want to overpower the mids/highs. Volume control is also a plus as is the rechargableness. Hoping the interconnect wont be super long.
Sign me up for one as soon as they release.

No. It is tighter and well controlled. Recommended.

Would this of any benefit to me, if I already own a RSA Predator and Tomahawk amp? I'm pretty happy with the size of the Predator, so aside from size difference, does the Fiio offer any other advantages?

Are you serious? Other than the price, I can't imagine it can be an improvement over your current line up.

Cmon, it would be of huge benefit if it's anywhere near the size of the E3. At the moment I can only be bothered to carry around my Viper if I go on long trips. For everyday listening it's firmly attached to my laptop. But the E3 came with me to work and back pretty much every day (until I ran out of batteries that is). If the E5 is everything it promises to be, it'll be in my jacket pocket too.

Don't forget they are also planning a DAC version after the E5, I would guess they would name it E7.
Will send an email to James over the weekend to ask what colors the E5 will have?

Silver for me, to go with my NW-HD5, and Black to go with my RH1 and MDR-NC60 noise canceling cans, and hopefully the cord will be detachable, just like the E3 had, for easy replacement/upgrade.

A matte black color with flames would be awesome. Hot rod style FTW!
