I have a question did any of you guys have a problem with the clip screw popping off? I CA'd mine on.

Anyone have any idea how these things run with a pair of UE Pro 10s?

The E5 hisses a lot with low-impedance/high-sensitivity phones like the UE10.

What would be a better choice for them for under 100?

Get a decent MP3 player, then you don't need an amp with them. Cowons and Sansas can drive multi-armature IEMs perfectly fine, Sony players can't, for example.

Not a helpful answer I feel.

Would a Nexus One/Nexus S do it?

He is trying to drive ultra-sensitive $1000 custom IEMs with a $20 amp. My recommendation of getting a better player was genuine.

Actually $95 non-custom IEMs off Amazon, but yeah. Ulitmate Ears TripleFi 10 Pros. Not UE Pro 11s

Ah, I see... UE10, as you've written above, is something rather different than the TF10. I think they're discontinued now, replaced by the UE Reference. Either way, the least expensive amps I know that don't hiss with phones like the TF10 and can drive them properly are the Corda Headsix and the Headstage Arrow.

First post (lurker), Hi. Anyways, I was just wondering if this amp would be ok to Pair with UE SuperFi 3's? I want something I can plug into my phone and listen to some flac on the go and not have to lug around anything bulky. Pockets, pockets, pockets I tell you. I've read about the hiss on some of the newer UE IEM's, so that's a little worrisome. I don't see spending $200 on an amp that's going to be in my pocket a lot. I figured I'd break out my old SuperFi 3's and get something going in ways of a super portable setup, and this looked like a quasi sensible way to do so.

The E5 sure might be a good choice to beef up a cellphone output. It should work well with the SF3.
