Creative Sound blaster E5 - Headphone amp + USB DAC with OTG + Toslink + aptX + recording + more.
Hello I'm using my E5 in my PC and my Android smartphone, both with the SB Control Panel. But the main use is with my music player, a Fiio X3, connected via Line In.

Hello folks I've been using the Z5 for 2 weeks, with the MUC-M12SM1 cable. And i have serious doubts about them... To be concrete, i´m not really satisfied with the highs or treble.
