I do. My opinion about the LDM+ is, 'save the money, get a cmoy.'

Just got mine. The sound quality, volume and bass volume sure picks up from iPod shuffle with this one. iPod Shuffle > E5 > DT-770 Pro/80. Bass boosts up, though still tightens up some, soundstage widens and sounds become more distinguishable. Also there is so much more volume you could kill your ears now if you wanted to.

Plugging this straight into Creative XtremeMusic X-Fi does however not make any significant changes. Sound volume boosts up, d'oh, and bass is a little more and some sounds more distinguished - but nothing major.

Also, when I plugged this lil' bugger into the XtremeMusic there is a slight low hum coming out of the headphones - What causes this? I do not know.

All in all, it certainly does it's job for portable players for its' price. I got mine for 14€ used and on a post on head-fi I can surprisingly say, I'm not sorry for your wallet!

I got my email saying it was shipped from DX on the 4th, which was 8 days ago now (ordered the 11th of Feb.), but the actual tracking thing when you go into it says it departed China on the 7th, so it's anybody's guess how long it'll actually take to get here. koven, you've probably got about a month wait time (that's to Canada anyways)

Ordered the FiiO E5 yesterday, and it already shipped today.

Took you long enough to get the E5, dfkt. What's the wait?

Heheh, indeed... I found my workout rig (Clip + PFE) to benefit from the E3 in between, but the constant hassle of pulling out the 3.5mm plug and the phantom battery drain are just annoying.

I think the E5's clip would also work nice with the Sansa's clip removed... might cut down on some bulk. Always a good thing for a jogging rig.

but why are you getting an e5, when most people use the ibasso t4 with the PFEs?

Look at my sig...

I want the E5 for my "beater" workout rig - the T4 is stuck to the Cowon O2, for use at home.

The Phonaks work well with any amp, the T4 just gets recommended that much because it sounds really nice for the price and the tiny form factor. Similar to the E5, actually.

I just got mine today from DX after missing the USPS guy 2 days ago. I actually ordered it on January 29, but they had were waiting on fresh stock and the new year chaos going on so just decided to wait. But FS, so can't complain!
