Thanks. Can you briefly describe the sound signature of the 2?

Any one here tried both E40 and IM01? I'm torn between these two.

Have you tried both?

Can anyone here compare sound signature of ATH-E40 vs ATH-IM01?  Caught between these two.

Does this pair well Sony A35 plus WMC-NH10?

  There is 2.5mm balance VE monk readily available in the market? Or we have to re-cable it to convert into 2.5mm balanced?

  A25 I mean. Does it give significant improvement to your A15's sound? Also C5D includes DAC, in order to bypass SOn's DAC, you need some sort of cable like WMC-NH10 usb conversion cable. 

My JDS Labs C5 is finally coming after several months of delays. Will post a review of sound when paired with my A25 after several weeks of use.

Waiting for my C5 amplifier to pair with my NWZ A25 and sennheiser CX215. I hope they are compatible.

Will this be available in the Philippines? specifically in Davao City?

  But it costs 4 times more than a brand new a15/a25..lol!

It has of course

Try JDS Lab C5. It got very good reviews.

Try JDS labs C5 amplifier. It has very good reviews. I am waiting for mine to arrive but Im pretty sure it will be a very good combo.

  Hiss is still there even with my cheap Sennheiser CX215 (16 ohm impedance).  When listening to songs with quiet passages especially at night when everyone else is asleep and all appliances are turned off, you will surely recognize it.
