Have been using my recently acquired Fiio E5 with both grado sr225 and shure se-210. I have also used the Fiio E3 with both, and the E5 concerning hiss it is a big improvement compared with E3.
The E3 just hisses as mad, with se-210 is quite unbearable, and it didn't really give anything good to it, however the E5 gives more life to my se-210.
After listening to a long session with my sr225 un-amped, trying the se-210 unamped disappoints me. I can't use the grados to sleep, but using the E5 with se-210 just brings them back to life. Well once you go full size you can't get back ^^ (maybe the se-530 are on a different league, but I doubt they are comparable to some full sized as sr225 or reference series) Plus the bass boost matches perfectly with the se-210 as they lack a bit of punch. On the other hand using it on the sr225 doesn't do much. Its bass is quite controlled and punchy already
I have one little complaint, it is with the sound volume control. It sometimes doesn't work when using my right thumb, however using my left thumb gives good result
I thought I could send it back to Dealextreme, but won't bother unless it stops working, regardless what thumb i use ^^
