The FiiO makes the SE530 hiss even more than they already do, and it also takes away some of the much needed treble. It's a pretty bad combination...

What kind of bargain are you looking for? An amp that run without battery? May be you should set your bargain standard more realistically...

I just got a FiiO E3 for $8.50 and think that for the cost it does it job very nicely. No complaints, for $8.50 one needs to be realistic!

Does any one know what is inside?

Look at the first few pages of the thread for photos of internals and amplifier details

Dear geob, Thanks found it in page 4!

I didn't hiss alot for my SportaPro but it sure hisses alot with my Sony MDR-EX76LP IEM.

I'll have to order one of these.

Although, does the site only accpet paypal or can I pay with a card?

 

[portaprostud]

So who's getting the white ones, now that the black ones are unavailable?

Just got mine but it seem to be broken. Only the left channel works most of the time, if I bend both jack slightly then it works ok for a while but returns to single channel. Sometimes with the bending comes a lot of distortion and the volume gets really low.

Bummer.

Well, I like it more for the size than anything else. I was one of those who totally shied away from the idea of lugging around an amp that was bulkier than my player. I got to try it out at Jaben when auditioning some large headphones and found it to be surprisingly good for casual/portable listening. Since I intend to get a pair of Denon D1000 soon, the little Fii0 makes plenty of sense. Now I'm rediscovering how my CX300s and PX-200 can sound with my oldiePod.

And getting a bulkier player was out of question?

 

[jigabachi]

Choice of player IS personal, ya? I just like the sound signature of the 2G iPod over the current slimmer-than-a-waif-model players. That and the instant response of the older monochrome LCD menu system. Heck, the 2G outlived my 4G iPod!

Mine should be here this week! I really hope I don't receive a bum model like a lot of people here have...

Well, take into account the fact that only a few people have posted on this forum that their FiiO was defective, and also take into account that the FiiO has been consistently sold out almost all the time, and you'll discover it's only a small percentage of people who have (reported) defective models. Mine is still going strong after nearly two months now

and I can't wait for the E5, will definately be picking one of those up.
