Panzerfan, the main difference between the E5 and G5 now is primarily the Bluetooth and "Portability" of the device.
The E5 is designed as a portable amp / dac first...so it has the battery included that will let you take it on the road and use it as a portable amp / dac with any smart device / phone, etc.
The G5 is designed as a portable sound card to be used VIA USB. So you don't have the Bluetooth capability or the internal battery.
I'll get a better breakdown of the two posted up here so it's a lot clearer where the differences are for everyone.
The main difference is also that you guys did terribly wrong with the G5 by not supporting SBX 5.1 via consoles (fed with Dolby Digital/AC3) while giving the G5 LO/optical out "Headphone Mode" support but not to your 399/499 Dollars products aka the X7/X7 LE.
