@ClieOS I am going to pair the E11 with my SE530, and replacing E5. I can hear tiny hisssing noise with E5, with E11 is it more prominent?
 
I am also considering on getting a better source to replace my Samsumg Omnia 7, I have noticed a lot of your review feature Sansa Fuze+, is there a particular reason for you choosing it? and can you recommend a good sound source for E11 and SE530, with in ~$150 range.
 
Thanks in Advance

Hissing on E11 will not excess E5 on loudest volume. If you don't use bass boost the hissing will be even less. I am using Fuze, not Fuze+. They are two very different DAP. I am using Fuze because it is one of very few DAP outside of Apple that has a line-out that I can play with and known to have very decent SQ.. Fuze+ doesn't have LO at all. If you are thinking about amping than a source with line-out will be better but I don't have any specific recommendation for you.

Thanks for the update, i just ordered one, it seems they don't ship to Australia so had to use HopShopGo to ship it within USA, then forward to downunder. total cost is bit stiff ~$90AUD (~100USD)
 
 

 
No prob.  I checked and rechecked the site every 10 minutes, I posted it as soon as it went live  I guess I can take my tent down and pack up, as I've been camped out waiting for it to be posted for weeks heh

But i guess you have to pay the premium for early adoption!

Based on the good reviews and my experience with Fiio I went ahead and ordered one from Micca Store.  I also took advantage of the bundle deal on the Soundmagic PL-50s which made me eligible for free shipping.

I said that E11 is slightly better than T3D. T4 is not in the same league as T3D or E11. T4 is a level lower than A10 and stock cmoyBB, IMO.
 

oohhh..i thought t4 and t3 is similar, just a matter of batch difference. they look the same to me. lol
 
my apology..
 
by the way, if e11 really is better than t3d even though by a small margin, i think e11 would be the new best bang for buck portable amp

  t4 already sounds okay to me, i can't imagine how e11 would sound. eagerly waiting for it arriving in my country!!

It is funny how iBasso names the models. T4 actual came a year before T3 series so it is easily mistake that T4 must sounds better or similar to T3 series simply by their naming.

Same here, bought an L9 LOD to give it a shot. Those PL-50's have balance armatures. interesting.

Updated on first page:
 
The claimed 2050mAh BL-5B battery (from this eBay store) came yesterday and I reran the battery test in 2nd configuration (see above for detail). I don't have high hope for it at first but I reckon I should at least be able to par the stock battery at worst. Surprisingly the battery works out really well. I measured 3.64V after 12hrs, which is about the same as low power mode in 1st configuration. A simple linear estimation puts another 12hrs battery life left in the battery, making it a total of 24hrs from a single charge. To add to the plus side, I didn't pre-condition the battery when I received it, so this is the first charge and it should only get better once I recharge it several times. Of course battery generally doesn't drop in linear fashion as estimated but I think 18~20 hrs or so should be easily achievable. Now this so far isn't really a real 2050mAh yet if we compared the result with the stock 800mAh battery. If it was 2050mAh, we would have got 37hrs instead, not 24hrs - then again, I haven't conditioned the battery. Regardless, this is still a pretty decent investment for the extended battery life, especially consider a genuine Nokia BL-5B 760mAh can go for $10+ a piece from reputable seller. The listed eBay price is $16 and only to U.S. with free shipping. But if you asked the seller, he can send it to most of the world with $2 of registered mail with tracking.

That's good to hear. I've ordered a 1550mAh battery to pair with mine - there were higher-capacity ones listed but they were both significantly more expensive and significantly shadier-looking. Still, if it works to standard it should still nearly double the E11's battery life, and I can keep the stock battery on hand if need be.

 

[ClieOS]

I guess if anyone worries that the capacity might not be as advertised, a 1200~1400mAh capacity can be considered a more realistic choice.

The thing that I found odd is that I live in the same state that they are located, yet I didn't have to pay sales tax on my order.  Not a big deal, because I'm never running for politics.  However, again I'll just *beef* again on Micca Store regarding their "mail order only" policy.  It's brutal to wait 2-3 days on delivery when I work about 2 miles from where they're located.  Arg!
