Eagerly waiting for my MC5 to arrive now. Also ordered Fiio E5 to see if the (cheap) amp makes any difference.
Meanwhile, been listening to S4 a lot. Love them on some tracks (some of my newer collection with pulsating music) - er6i just didn't have the bass to do justice to those tracks. But, even after 50 hours of burn-in, some of my softer tracks are sounding so much worse. These are older tracks where I am getting a lot of hiss that I never got with er6i. It may be that the recording quality is poor or whatever, but that sadly leaves out almost a third of my music that sounded just fine (actually quite beautiful) with er6i. I am encouraged with the comments on more bass than er6i in MC5 - that way, it will make it easier for me to return S4 and just keep on pair.
