Sorry if this isn't the place to ask, or has already been asked before.
 
I haven't been on head-fi in like 3 years. Anyways, I have some PK1's, and a fiio e5 and have been fairly happy for the 5 or 6 years I've owned them. Should I get an E11? Is it a big enough jump from the E5? I guess that's partly subjective, but it'd be nice to know your opinions. My wallet got a tiny bit fatter and this would be a nice gift to myself.

Thanks for the impressions, I cant wait for it to be released, just recently bought the e7+e9 combo and they were excellent

OK, as of last evening, my status has changed to "shipped" and I've received the USPS delivery confirmation number.  Any bets on how long the USPS will take to get it to my house?  It really could be today - being, that it's only a 25 mile trip.  Now, I do have to 2 options - but, one isn't really a good one.  1) Take a sick day and wait for the USPS.  or,  2) Try the "work from home" angle for the day.  However, this weekend, they whacked all of our options for getting in remotely to perform work.  The issue won't be resolved for 3-4 days.
 
Hmm ... I need to decide.  I guess either way, the can't really get mad at me and hurt my career since I'll be giving notice this next week. 

 
Then again, they were all nervous yesterday - I was getting dinged for lots of petty stuff - and my work was positive in so many aspects.  I think I work with a bunch of thankless bastages at the moment.  However, it's all going to change ... soon.

I guess the question is whether E11 truly worth 2~3 times the money from E5, and the answer is a definitely yes from me.

Any news on PJBOX? Weren't they supposed to be dispatching yesterday? I've not received any e-mail confirmation from them either way. Does anybody know where they're upto?

 

[guliver]

I will be very interested to know how the Fiio E11 compare with the Headstage Arrow since both use the same opamp but of course at 1/5 of the price I do not expect to be as good but hopefully not too far behind

Hopefully I will have an update soon from Roy at pjbox. He did say they would go out on 23rd but I just sent an email to check.

 

[gavinfabl]

Superb customer service. Pjbox emailed back. My E11 was posted today so I imagine the rest were too.

 

[gavinfabl]

Pjbox just confirmed all orders went out today and will be received tomorrow for UK mainland orders. Will update other thread too.

Would I be better off with the A10 in terms of bass for some 80 ohm DT-770's?

Awesome!  Mine was processed through the post office this afternoon a few hours ago according to the delivery confirmation number.
 
For those of you in the U.S. who made their orders through Micca-Store, those orders go through a major regional post office (Merrifield, VA) and not some Po-Dunk post office before getting into a larger regional postal center before getting some traction.  Put it this way, the lights never get turned out in the Merrifield, VA post office.  For those of you who have shipping notifications from Micca, your orders should be arriving quite soon (2-3 days) as they've indicated.  Since I live 25 miles from Merrifield, mine should arrive tomorrow.

That's very good to hear. Mine made its way into the postal system as well, according to my tracking number. 
 
I'm very excited. I've gravitated toward easy-to-drive headphones in the past because of the high cost of good amplifiers. However, found a great deal on the E7+E9 so I took the plunge and am now just getting my feet wet with harder-to-drive cans with the K701s. This will be my first portable amp, so I'm really anxious to see what a difference it makes. Even with my HFI-580 and 225i, I can hear marked improvement running through my E9. I'm hoping the E11 will help me bring some of those sound quality improvements on-the-go. 
 
I'm glad that there are companies like Fiio that put out quality products at such great values. It helps a newbie like me get my foot in the door without such a huge financial commitment.

That is good information to know.  Thanks.  I also got my USPS shipping notification today.

Someone asked a slightly bizarre question in the Headphones forum - 'Which is better, the E11 or the ZO ?'. I guess they ARE both inexpensive ways to get better sound, but via somewhat different approaches. In the fullness of time, I'm sure someone here will be able to give that lost soul and answer.

We make it a point to drop off our packages at the Merrifield location because not only is it a regional P&DC, but the post office attached to it stays open until 8pm on weekdays and even opens on Sundays. I think that post office closes exactly one day out of the year, which is Christmas.
