Ah, but then the built-in amps of portable players aren't enough. Especially for headphones with great clarity and detail (recabled K-240 Studio here).

True that, no matter how good built in amps sound, itll always sound better with an external amp

Those measurements can't be right.

No fixed date yet, but from what I read from his email, shipping date is most likely sometime next week and we will see it in stock within 2 week or so.

According to measurement unit shown in Fiio's Chinese BBS, it means millimeter (mm) instead of centimeter (cm) and I have to translate accordlingly. Either the person (James) who have posted the specifications got it wrong (probably typo error) or they are the actual measurements !!.

Anyway I am not too concern about lengths of the provided cables, as I will be using my own LOD interconnect and headphone cable. I am more concern whether to have iBasso T4 or Fiio E5 to be used with my iPod nano as really portable rig. It seems that Fiio's product launch closely match that of iBasso.

Hi, I'm kinda new in this forum and i'm about to buy a portable amp for my Archos 5/sennheiser cx300.
Will the Fiio E5 be something for me or do you guys prefer something else?
I listen to any kind of music.

Is DealExtreame also one of the dealers who is selling the E5 within two weeks?

I think I am one of the first to mention about the $20 price - people seems to misread it and took it as the final price everywhere. The original message from FiiO is that the E5 will cost about or less than US$20 in local market (= China), and the international price will be higher because of shipping cost and taxation.

I'm still waiting for my E3, maybe another week until it's here, but if it's any good I'll probably get an E5 as well. I have no need for a box/retail packaging, however I'm happy to get a short mini cable included.

Been looking forward to the E5 for a while, I can't believe that the original post was made nearly 3 months ago! I remember reading that post like it was yesterday, and now we are edging ever closer to the release.

Anyway, please let us know when you receive the release date and start the pre-sale. I'm definitely in for at least one.

Word from James is that the E5 will be shipping to sales agents next week, and that the first batch is already sold out.

He said the price is $20USD. Damn the current exchange rate.
