I still don't have mine from DealXtreme... ordered well over a week ago...

Hmmm even though I don't like waiting for a very long time. I'll just have to be patient. I could've bought one in the Netherlands for 28 euros, but in the US they're half of that.

 

[gore.rubicon]

does headdirect have free shippping?

 

[kornholio360]

$2 for shipping in US.
$10 everywhere else.

Seems like the PX100 improved significantly, more transparent and wider sound stage. It completely removed what I call grain/raspy sounding vocals, everything is very smooth sounding

Quick question, would an E5 do much for an A900 or SR80 from headphone out of laptop.

I would think so from what I have read about this amp, but be sure to get another opinion.


I just ordered this amp a little bit ago, and it said it shipped already!!!!!

Just finish a battery draining test on my newest E5, thought I'll share the result w/ you guys.

Source is Sony D-EJ1000 PCDP line-out, headphone of choice is JVC HA-F130 (16 ohms, 108dB/mW). E5 has been charged only twice before, with less than 15 minutes of total usage. Volume is set to 4/20 (3/20 is my normal volume w/ the JVC). The total runtime is 18hrs 20mins (+/- 5mins), which is about 92% of the 20hrs listed in spec.

In conclusion, given that the battery in the E5 probably hasn't have enough power cycle to reach full capacity, I think reaching 20hrs of total runtime is possible if the battery is in its peak condition. In any case, 18hrs+ of runtime on such a small device isn't a shabby result as well.

That is fantastic.

Thank you for doing that test. I cannot wait to get mine.

I do not totally understand the whole conditioning batteries thing, but I do know it exists. I just bought a new laptop battery and I needed to discharge and charge it up a little twice to get it to reach 100%

BTW, charging from empty to full battery is less than 2 and 1/2 hours.

Rechargeable battery stores power by reversible chemical reaction (only to an extent, hence they break down). You apply power to charge, which actual forces the chemical reaction to go one way. Than the battery releases the power as it is trying to re-balance the reaction by going back to the other direction. If you store battery for too long, some chemical inside might start to become more stabilized and doesn't what to move (thus reducing the effective load the battery can store). So we do some power cycle (fully charge and discharge) to 'activate' or 'energize' those chemical to make sure all of them is ready for duty - a shake up if you like.

i thought i contact dealextreme about my shipment , they said it was out of stock. uh? i ordered 28 january and they are out of stock just a couple of days? what is going wrong there

 

[Burninate35]

That makes sense, thanks ClieOS.

 

[ngsm13]

I should have just paid the extra $4 to get it from head-direct....

I ordered 2/4/09 and it was in stock then... so I don't know why I don't have my product. I looked, and it hasn't even shipped yet. I go to cancel, and it says I may receive a refund OR credit by 3/4/09... What?

Hi there.
I really need your help on this one.
I have a Cowon D2 that is producing a slight hiss on my low impedance (16ohm) Denon AH-C551.
Do you think that adding the FiiO E5 will add more hiss? If that is the case do you think an impedance/resistor adaptor? Will a 33 ohm adaptor suffice, or should I aim to something more (33, 36, 68, 91, 120, 150)?

Thanks.
