Just about every Bluetooth module has its own built-in DAC (which usually doesn't sound great). The E3 however has an independent DAC outside of the Bluetooth's DAC. It is a TI's PCM5122, which actually isn't a bad DAC at all on its own.

Is that the same dac the e3 uses for usb?

No, E5 uses Cirrus Logic CS4398. E3 uses TI's PCM5122.

I'm sorry clieOS, I meant does the e3 use the same dac for its USB and blue tooth connections

That will be a 'yes'.

Thank you!

I am waiting for it.
But I am not so sure when it will be sold on the market.
The price in EU is about 199 EUR.

There was a coupon awhile back for the e1 and e3. Pretty good discount, sadly I can no longer find the page that had it :'(. Anyone remember what it was?

Review on E5? It isn't released yet, and I don't have a prototype nor know if I'll be getting one for review.

 

[UnderNewbie]

I am waiting for E5 too.
Hope it will be available in the first week of Oct!
