Wow, great, i will be getting one just to try against my chunky cmoy i use in bed. Dont carry it everyday, too big, but it makes a little difference, wonder if the e5 will be a bigger difference...
If a DAC/AMP comes out i will be getting that to test up against my U Control, $60 is a great price for optical and RCA in and out options, as well as Hp/o, and it sounds pretty good, but i am thinking about borrowing or borrowing then buying a D2 Boa to upgrade too (mainly for laptop, but for D2 bed rig [better than cmoy], but maybe not now, maybe e5 for d2 rigs, daytime too [small] and U control, or u control + e5 for laptop until Fiio DAC) if the difference is good enough, as that can be used in my d2 rig too, so we can have a DAC showdown of U Control, Boa, and Fiio dac/amp, u control RCA out -> Fiio e5 and u control RCA out -> cmoy.
I think the Boa would be best, with the Fiio following, and the U Control combos following, then the u control alone last.
Anyway, if the E5 is good i will get one for the U Control and D2 Bed/day rig, and maybe get a Boa for the Laptop, but not the d2 rigs, as it is much bigger i think, and i hope, and think they will sound close... If they do, i will be selling the Boa when the Fiio DAC/AMP comes out! Small (i guess) good sounding and pretty cheap... Small enough to be used in D2 rig, smaller than Boa and bigger than E5 i guess, and probably an equal DAC to the U Control alone, maybe even as good as the u control amped with a Fiio E3/E5/Cmoy, and cheaper than the Boa i reckon!
E5 for d2, here i come, boa for laptop here i come (soon)
Fiio DAC for d2 and laptop come soon!!!
LET THEM KNOW WE AT HEAD-FI ARE INTERESTED AS MUCH AS WE ARE IN AMPS ONLY PLEASE! PRODUCE THEM PLEASE!
