if I get this do I have to buy one of those LOD things?

I got to try this one out. I honestly wasn't impressed by the sound. Messy bass and ultra-recessed mids. Treble is decent, can get grainy.
All in all, a let down after the E7. I was surprised by its size, though, it was very small.
It's also has a lot more gain than the E7, a very loud amp considering how small it is.
It's a starter amp, at the price you can't complain, but those who have an E7 or better don't need it.
So is there any point in getting this thing if I already use a Teclast T51 / S:Flo 2? I dunno I'm looking for some kind of portable amp but it has to be better than the T51... lol.
Sure. Actually the T51 is a great example of where an amp like the E11 can really help. In my experience the headphone output of the T51 is fairly weak, so using an amp connected to the T51's line-out jack can provide a lot more usable volume.

So I'm looking for a cheap portable amp for under $100 and it seems the E11 would fit the bill. I'm thinking of pairing this with my rather flat Zune HD and into my HD25 - good idea? I need something that ups the top-end of the spectrum as well as more control of the low-end. I have read ClieOS' review and he says it's very transparent and dynamic-sounding especially with the high-gain settings, which in my opinion would come in handy for my setup. So... should I gun for it?

Ok, well I haven't needed to put the volume of of the Teclast T51 on max yet, I find it powerful enough for all the equipment I have so far, I guess I'll hold off on the E11 then, I was just concerned about sound quality not volume really, I see you have a DT880 and Senn650, I guess those are the devices the Teclast can't handle, nice to know the E11 can! Am I right? Thx.

I wonder if anybody tested E11 with re-262's and checked if there is any difference in sound when plugged directly into the amp versus using supplied TRRS-to-usual-3,5 jack converter cable.

There is no difference in sound. The 3.5mm socket FiiO used for the E11 just happens to work like a TRRS adapter.
