Hi, I just got a loan for this unit and while I'm searching the ifi website, I stumbled at their firmware for this unit. the latest FW (firmware) is 5.3C R2 and ifi wrote on their website that the unit is now able to decode MQA-encoded songs (I use tidal hifi) But when I have downloaded the...

Looking forward the first model ;)

Just wrote on soundblaster forum, hoping that they will add MQA-enabled for this great device. That little dragonfly already got updated firmware to have MQA audio, so I am hoping that this E5 will also able to play MQA audio ;)

  I can confirm that E5 will drive DT880 600 ohm with no issue ;) I have tested the DT880 back in september 2016 with my E5

I'm not sure if it is a silver cable.... I'll ask the builder and I will tell you ;)

Hi, Just want to share my stock MonkPlus Purple (I call it MonkPlus Widow) and recabled MonkPlus Purple     The upgraded cable has more speedy bass, especially when listening to double pedals Vocals are a bit forward, causing the soundstage is more narrow than the stock MonkPlus Purple  ...

Hi, Sorry if this was already asked before ;) So V2+ is better to work with my android phone rather than 2A? My android smartphone is using android 5.01 but it sucks when using Usb Audio Player Pro APP (already emailed the guys at extream and they told me it was my phone's kernel issue and they...

  I rarely listen to these two amazing Indonesian earbuds .... Kanzenoka Yin Yang (V1.2 I think) at the front and ELIbuds SABIA V1 at the back   when they are connected to my Soundblaster E5 DAC, SABIA has the best double pedals impact, while Yin Yang has best impact on the mid-high...

Hi, Thank you for your reply. I mean the songs that you purchase from tidal store, so you can play them on your DAPs beside smartphones and tablets ;)

What type of flac does tidal offered when we purchase an offline album? 16bit 44kHz ? Thank you for the answer.

  Thank you for answer ;)   I don't have the Believe CD but I think I should have one now ;) I have compared the songs with the ones on tidal hifi and the songs from HDTracks do sounded better.

Hi all, My apology if this post is already exist ;)   Recently I purchased a "hi-res album" from hdtracks.com It was a 24 bit 192 kHz songs from Disturbed's album Believe. At first, the songs sounded great, they were banging my headphone's drivers real hard but curiousity kills the cat ;)...

When I was bored listening music from earbuds, iems and headphones.. Just plug my old cheap altec lansing speakers (bxr 1221) via E5's line out and listen music from there ;)

Hi, I just talked with one of Raid earbud team, they will produce RAID V1 again at the beginning of February and this time for overseas market. I will be helping RAID team in promoting their earbud in here (and help them with english communication). I think they will not make a lot of RAID...
