Some pics or a press release from FiiO would be nice.

If the E5 has rounded edges and a gun metal or chrome finish, I'll buy 12.

Head-fi Limited edition is also possible, if Jude allows FiiO to use Head-fi's logo (FiiO will contact Jude on this issue). More on the good news: E5 will be on display on Hong Kong electronic show starting from today. More news will be coming in in the nest two days.

This sounds very promising, count me in for a group buy, a Head-fi Limited edition FiiO E5 would be great.

Thanks for the update OP. I would really like to get my hands on a Head-fi edition FiiO, they would make awesome Christmas gifts too.

Time to wait for an official group buy now.

Wow, that's excellent news! A custom Head-fi edition would be awsome. I'm looking forward to hearing about more news and details in the near future. Thanks for taking the initiative, and thanks for taking the time and effort to help put this together!

I was the one who suggested it and put the ball into motion

Anyway, Lets try and decided on a color scheme.

I wouldn't mind organizing it, but I have uni exams at the moment, and shipping from Australia won't be cheap.

 

[gpkoo]

I'm interested, and shipping from Australia would be great for me!

 

[illy865]

I'm interested as well in the Head-Fi Limited E5. I'm new to group buys but this is awesome that a response by them was made so soon.

Would Fiio be prepared to send the amps to a few central people? We could have a representative from each continent to collect the amps and post them out to people accordingly- ie, 1 in the America's, 1 in Australasia, 1 in Europe, 1 in Africa and 1 in Asia- it would certainly be cheaper. It would cost more for the postage than the amp otherwise. Just a suggestion folks.

Provided the amps arrive in Early November, I have no problems with being the Australian "Agent" if people pay for shipping, packing and paypa/otherl fees.

 

[thatwunguy]

i'm in for this one. Also, I think we should get it in the shades of blue that we see with the head-fi logo.

 

[Baines93]

I'm in for one.

Choices in order of preference:
1. White Limited Edition
2. Silver Limited Edition
3. White standard
4. Silver standard
5. Blue Limited Edition
6. Black standard.

Guys and gals, please check out the Head-fi edition thread.

UPDATE: The thread has been removed by Jude for now until he gets more details about the group buy, which is fair game.
