Only a few members here (and else where) received samples for feedback purpose. No actual sell nor is the amp in final production yet, but I'll suspect it will be ready in less than a month.

FiiO E5 amp ....sound cool. However, some report mentioned noise level are also increasing?
post #423 of 1733
Nope, there's little hiss with the E5 even with sensitive IEMs.

I really, really wish for a case though. Would make the E5 the perfect starter amplifier package.

Regardless, I'm going to buy some for christmas presents.

Nice review. It seems a lot better when your DAP is amped.

Just to confirm, there's a vol. control right?
post #426 of 1733
yes, there's one
post #427 of 1733
so with the volume control, it can be used from line-out, right?

What was that about an "optional bass boost"? And how's sound quality overall? The E3's not very airy-sounding...

Yeah, I see that as the greatest improvement.

How is the spacing between the headphone output and the volume control? Also, when you look at the pictures, it seems the input/output is recessed into the casing.
I own a Denon D1001 and it has a thick plug that can make it hard to get a good contact, so it would be nice if someone could help me out here.
I wouldn't want to buy one of these only to find out it doesn't fit.

Small jack, normal jack, big jack (12.5mm in diameter on the base).





Not recessed. It is part of the design.

there is a switch that switches from bass boost to flat (not bass boost).

the e3 reminds me very much of the black nintendo ds lite. Maybe once i get the e5, ill use the e3 for my black nds lite.
post #434 of 1733
the the previous E3 its shows that it perform better at the bass level .however it is not as good in the mid and high.. I was wondering if the e5 has improved the mid and high?
post #435 of 1733
Yes, the highs and mids on the E5 are much better than the E3.
