Has anyone ever put the bass boost switch between off and on? Dead in the center, there is a third "mode" if you will. The volume is higher, the vocals and mids are much more pronounced.

yes, i've tried that by accident, it really boost the vocal, if only it can boost the vocal and bass at the same time

guess we'll have to wait for E7 ( hopefully there'll be this feature )

Fiio E5 + Koss PortaPro = Perfect sinergy

Hello

What can I say about this little device is that it is awesome. He is a little weak when used in conjunction with a heavier phone, like my Philips HP 1000, but it works wonderfully well together with my PortaPro. This is a set shooter. It also goes well with my Audio-Technica CK7 and, lastly, with my Audio-Technica CK32 (this phone is horrible and no amplifier will do miracles with it).

The rest of the set-up is composed of player Sansa Fuse and Canare cable connecting the amplifier to Fuse.

Cheers,

Peter

I have had the same problem (with the unit not turning off on the first power button press). I fixed this by pushing on the left most edge of the power button, and rolling the pressure to the right until it turns off. Works most of the time!

I tried to use the Fiio e5 with my JVC FX500 connected to the line out of my iPhone 3GS. There is a tremendous hiss, even with the Fiio at the lowest possible volume setting. The iPhone's amp is practically silent in comparison. A bit disappointing, but it is fairly cheap.

I tried the third mode (between bass boost and Flat) and wow, interesting, vocals are much louder, sounds good.

Sorry about your walle ... wait a minute, FiiO E5 isn't that expensive, these guys actually still control their urges Well, maybe in the future we'll still be sorry for your wallets

Those setups sound really nice, please do give us your thoughts on how the FiiO E5 performs with different 'phones, the higher the amount of opinions and experiences, the better

(PS. I'm writing a comprehensive review on the FiiO E5, it'll be finished within the week.)


I couldn't wait for reading your write up. I want to know did you ever hook E5 to HD 600? How about it to boost the high impedance phones? Thanks.

I just got a Sansa Clip as well and by comparison, it's crazy how much better the clip combo sounds. I should have my E5 in a few days, and hopefully it at least plays nice with my C240, since thats 9gb against my Clip's 1gb.


The muddy problem is the mark of low end amplifier.
