Hey there
Sorry I don't wish to use it with a dap, I am curious how it stacks up against them.
Creative Sound blaster E5 - Headphone amp + USB DAC with OTG + Toslink + aptX + recording + more.

If it is head-to-head comparison (with E5 used as DAC/amp, fed by a digital source, i.e. smartphone), I'll say they are close. I might prefer X5 a bit more (*don't have a DX90 now) as it is a more neutral sound and offer a little more detail, but there isn't something I'll refer as being night and day.

Question, can the e5 be used to record audio in iOS?
Can't find any review touching on this. I guess it's not a common function but I'm interested if I can use apps like fourtrack or garageband.
If it does work, what's the max resolution? (hoping for 24/96, if so I'm sold)

I will try it today for you.
I do know that I was listening to music before on my iPhone via bluetooth to the e5 and my boss called me.
I forgot I had been playing with the crystal voice settings and I sounded like a woman, freaked my boss te heck out.

E5 need drivers in Windows ?
It doesn't need driver for the basic functions. But if want all the features to work, better install the driver.
I don't claim these to be totally accurate as they are based on fairly crude measurement, but it should give you some idea:
16ohm: 100mW (H + L)
23.5ohm: 190mW (H + L)
47ohm: 520mW (H) + 220mW (L)

I must say this thing does just about everything.
I am not sure how I feel about its sound at this point. Some songs it seems cold and sterile. Other songs the bass seems too emphasised. It's odd.
I am giving it some time to settle. Though I may sell soon. It was more of a curiousity purchase than anything else
