FiiO E5 amp (E3 upgraded) - Page 74

post #1096 of 1734
I got my E5 just after xmas, better than the older E3, the internal battery is a fantastic, i was going through way to many batteries on my E3. I got them with a pair of Soundmagic pl30, they do sound good together.

The price has gone down even more, going to get a few for cheapo b'day gifts:

Nationite Edition Fiio E5 Portable Audio Amp [Fiio_E5] - $18.90 : MP4 Nation!, :: Low Priced MP4, MP3 Players and the latest scoop on the newest MP4 Player

Or have I not understood again?
Sorry if I am confusing

Except free shipping to the country I live in -.- Figures.

Btw.. you can use it while plugged in to recharge?

Then I could just use one as a cheap amp (might have to buy 2 in that case :P!).

Yeah, I get you...

Try to make the wire long enough, as to make a smooth bend.



Avoid a setup with a nasty tight wire pulling the dock up in the ipod dock, and pulling the wire up, tightly pulling on the solder joints in the dock, and straining the jack on the input of the E5, and strain on the 3.5mm jack going into the E5.

i am also from the Netherlands i ordered a e5 from deal extreme too. the only downside is the time i have to wait to get it. it is now 2,5-3weeks later and they didn't even shipped my e5 yet.


NL: waarom moet dat toch weer zo lang duren

Expected in 2 days, but not sure how accurate that is. And how many orders they'll be able to send out.

haha isn't ms paint fun?


I ask the question because I have a friend who is selling me the jumbo cryo for an amazing price.

If it does not work out, I could always leave the fiio e5 a little to the side. It is ok if I lose a little bit of portability. Thanks for your help

ROFL, a $150 cable with a $20 amp... (of course the amp can be useful, but the overpriced cable doesn't matter at all).

I'm done trolling, carry on.

I totally understand you, but as I said, I am buying it used from a friend for "an amazing price." I also may be getting the ibasso t4 or another better amp later so it will be nice to have a good cable already.

headphones, source, amp, beer, cables. in that order.
post #1109 of 1734
i just ordered one of these too. it matches the little shuffle i have but never use- maybe now i will use it!

In case DealExtreme doesn't have enough of them to ship out tomorrow, some of you guys should consider ordering from Head-Direct. I ordered mine from there about a week ago and got it in about three days. It cost a bit more, $22 when I ordered as opposed to $19 on DX, but it was worth it.
