i sure hope they don't mean the pico, cause that means it will be around $150-$200 since the pico costs about $300-$400...

The pico costs 500

I meant the pico slim which is the only obvious comparison due to size and portability.

What about the iBasso D4. Doesn't that run about 200 dollars? That would be fairly close to twice the target price.

I don't think the Pico Slim has a DAC.

I'm about ready to order an iBasso T3 (D probably), but if this can come close in terms of SQ and pack a DAC for use with my computer, that would be very tempting. I may just have to get both

I wonder if it might not be possible to charge an MP3 player off the E7's battery; that's quite a generous capacity rating. It would be a shame for my iPod to die before my amp.

Sounds sweet. Where's my mob?

So is the e7 supposed to be an amp like the e3 or e5 but bigger with more features? I don't really get what it is since I'm not to headphone savvy.

It's a portable dac/amp combo, with future docking capabilities with the E9 which will be a desktop headphone amp (with maybe other features; it's still in the design phase)

Yes it will be an amp like the e5, plus it will also feature a DAC which will let you connect it to your computer via USB and use it as a soundcard (typically much better sounding than the on-board solutions that come with the vast majority of computers).

Looks to be about the size of an iPod Classic.

Forgive me for the crosspost, but I think my question posted in the 7th gen iPod topic is more suited here: Does the iPod 7th gen benefit from a fiio e1 when driving a sennheiser hd25-1 headphone?

is it healthy that i've been constantly checking this thread every 30 minutes for the past 2 months?

Hummm.... Cowon S9--> E7--> HD25-1 II........ I think this is my future set up. Not to mention the sexiness of 2 OLED screens
