Just tried to BSE my E5 with some leftover stuff. I'm having a hard time getting it to stick properly....

with battery charging, if its a regulated supply then it will be fine. batteries only take what they need as they need it. in most cases you can use almost any charger with any device as long as the plug fits

IMO....NO; the SE530 are very efficient and while they do benefit from amping using a line out and a decent amp; I wouldn't think they would improve too much by just amping an already decent HP out with an amp that although is definitely considered to be a giant killer; is no predator/pico/(insert favorite amp here). of course if you are using a line out with the E5 (this is possible hey its got a volume control now???) you will/should get some improvement. I think what you would be doing is called amping for amping's sake. of course since I havent heard the E5 I could be totally wrong, but on the face of things thats how I see it.

Just to add that on some countries you can see tracking info on your national post office website.
It probably varies from place to place but on my case I can see more detailed tracking info. Useful when the package is on hold because of customs and such.

Dont worry yet, the admin said that its taking along time to upload the tracking numbers for every one.

he says on the mp4 nation forum "E5s were randomly assigned, all presale placed before yesterday have gone, please avoid emailing us asking for tracking as there is about 150+ ordres we need to manually update ontop of all the other orders that also went out, lots of darn tracking that needs to be uploaded"

Thank for the infos, i didn't think the amps were randomly assigned.
I thought that there was an order of reservation, but there's no problem, the only important thing is that the amp will arrive soon.

I'll wait for updates from mp4nation.

Got mine this morning (7.30!)
My Archos 5 headphone jack is broken so I can only try it out with iriver h340/clix/e10 and there's not that much difference in sound on those players.
(With E5 of course.)

I will try it out with ipod touch later.
So far so good.

 

[Dublo7]

It doesn't sound that much different? That's sort of worrying...

What earphones/headphones are you using?
