Would I be correct in presuming this isn't really going to do all that much for X10s?

Depends on your definition of 'all that much'. I personally don't think it will be much considering how X10 can easily driven by most headphone-out.

wonder if the bass boost would be too much with the Atrios..

Aren't the atrios very bassy already?

They would probably benefit more from the flat EQ setting I think.

Checked the track number from MP4Nation and apparently my package is going to somewhere near the Sahara (Not kidding!). Well, it is only as far as one Indian ocean plus the whole Africa continent away form where I live. It is not like I will never see it again. Really great jobs there...

Piss off +1.

Sorry to say but I already spotted a few eBay listing as high as $40. I am pretty sure some of them are Head-fi'ers (or at least lurker) trying to cash in on the high demand since they are copying info from this thread, some which was posted by me

My order was $17, so trackable with the automatically added $0.1 charge.

Took 6 days too.

I got the one I ordered on eBay last week (search "FiiO E5"), and right now it is being charged, and also because it is bowling league night, I won't be able to test it until tomorrow morning, I can't wait to try it out with my Sony MDR-NC60 Noise Canceling Headphones!!!


BTW, it is #354, if the last three digits make up the serial number.

I use a zune and the atrio's and they certainly benefit from the FIIO e3, they add a nice warm mid range bass that is slightly lacking in the artio's. Also the atrio's are not the most sensitive IEM so the volume boost is helpful along with the added mid range bass. I would suspect they will sound even better with the FIIO e5.

Cheer for MP4Nation for following up the situation and confirm that it is HK Post that bears the responsibility of the error database entry in their computer. At least now I can be sure that E5 is on my way.
