It is said that the Lollipop OS can output 24-bit/96khz, is the E5 compatible with lollipop ? can it handle 24-bit/96khz coming from a lollipop device ?
Nope. Android 5 Lollipop only outputs up to 48kHz.

Are you using it via USB to a mobile device (and thus charging your mobile device)?I've received an used E5 yesterday and I have a question:
When the unit is lying next to me on the couch it get's quite warm on the bottom. It easily reaches 40°C while playing music. Is this the usual behaviour? I imagine the battery won't last some hours when the unit is heating that much.
I was using bluetooth when it heated up.
PS: I just tested USB at the end of my listening session for a few minutes and the iPhone did not show any charging symbol. Does the E5 only charge Android phones (actually I think charging is a bug, not a feature)?
Not a bug, but a requirement for the AOA (*Android Open Accessory) protocol that E5 is designed to work with
Well, for me it does not make sense to use this AOA with USB host mode for a DAC. Why not use the DAC as an usual client device like everywhere else? Maybe this is for controlling the DSP?

Can you hear hissing/noise when you put this on high gain mode and turn the volume knob all the way up while no music is playing ?
This can be achieved by muting all the monitoring sources: Mic, Bluetooth, Line-In, S/PDIF etc. Since mixing is done in digital domain, muting them will result a pure stream from USB.
