My e5 arrived today

the right channel was non functional. I disassembled the unit to find a cold joint on the output plug. 5 minutes later fully functional

I will admit my ears are not as good as they used to be (20 years as a metal fabricator) but I think this has warmed the midrange a bit on my QP's and my cheapies well it has helped to crisp them a bit.

Cool.

Mine doesn't say 'Nationite Edition' on the side of it. What's that all about?

And why do you have what appears to be the loudest recording in history on there. That sounds terrible.

Uh, i ordered it from mp4nation, so I'm not sure.. This thing feels cheap though... I kind of regret ordering it from them.. took 2 weeks to come, and the clip is like kinda loose.. So i use it solely for my speakers.

My iBasso T4 is here already, but I wasn't home so I have to get it tomorrow.

Oh and the T4 only took 3 days to come.

E3 and E5 sold by MP4 Nation are rebranded to suit the company own's lineup of Nationite products.

Hey guys,

I was looking at decent cheap amps and came across the Fiio E5. Did come google searches and it brought me here.

I'm currently using the headphone jack of my z5500 and it definitely does not provide enough juice for my Sennheiser HD555's. I get much less bass from the z5500 headphone jack compared to my Onkyo SR705 receiver.

Would the E5 be enough to power my HD555's? Thanks in advance guys!

The HD555's (I'm using them right now) are said to not really need much amplification, but I don't see an E5 adding a lot to these. I never did try using my E5 with them, but I would guess it would add a bit more volume to them. I can't imagine an E5 adding too much in the way of dynamics or headroom to the HD555's, but like I said, I never did try (and now I can't because the E5 died a couple months after I got it and I never bothered to get a new one). It's only like $20, you could always try it out and let me know

EDIT: Also, welcome to Head-Fi, sorry in advance about your wallet.

Ok thanks! I went ahead and ordered the E5 from Dealextreme. Hopefully it comes soon. I'll definitely report back with my findings.

Heh don't worry. Those guys at the avsforum got to me first

 

[Menasor]

By the way, for those who ordered from Dealextreme, how long did it take for the package to arrive?

Two factors: whether DX has stock or not and how long it takes for regular airmail to travel from HK to your location.

Once DX shipped your item, they will send you an email. Only till you received that email that it means your E5 is shipped. In my experience, it usually takes a weeks or so for major destinations by airmail with a small package (assuming you didn't order some other big items), but it can take over two weeks if you are in rural area.

ok thanks ClieOS. Do you happen to know how long before they come back in stock if it says "pre-order"?

DX has been listing E5 as 'pre-order' since the beginning on this thread and you can imagine how long it has been. Anyway, they do have stock, just too lazy to update the product description (not DX's strong point anyway)
