Don't worry. Last I heard, E7 will be cheaper than any AMP+DAC in the market.

BTW, The 64 steps in volume adjustment is referring to the newer batch of E5, not E7.

Will it be a extreme budget amp like the e5? Or will it be higher end? closer to 100 usd?

 

[blawhh]

Also, what would the sound be comparable to? I wouldnt want something that doesnt do very much like the e5!

 

[ClieOS]

You want it cheap and do many things? That's a bit of a tall order, won't you say? It is a budget amp+dac in the amp+dac market just as E5 as a budget amp in the portable amp market. It will do its job for what the price worths, but don't try to convince yourself or let other convince you that it will beat Pico or P51 - no way, no how.

lol, I totally agree.

So... what's the cheapest Amp+Dac currently on the market? That way we could have some idea of the price cap.

Oh yeah, knew that. I meant something cheaper. This just sets the E7 at $99.99 max (still quite a bit for a Fiio product imo).

 

[TobaccoRoad]

I say keep the old FiiO and save the money for a decent amp.

 

[blawhh]

yea thats what i meant i hope its not around $100 unless it sounds better than the not that good nuforce

Eh, doesn't really help. Clearly some of it is sometimes hilariously lost in translation ^_^

 

[blawhh]

find someone who can read chinese to translate it

First, it will not be the same or around $100. It will be noticeably cheaper, but not to a point that it will only cost $5 or $10 more than E5. I am not allow to tell you the actual estimated sell price, but you can make logical guess yourself.

Second, you won't find more info from those link then what have been posted in this thread. Allow me to recap:

E1 - portable amp, very small, iPod specific with an unique design.
E7 - AMP+DAC, cheaper than the competitors, OLED screen, small, dock-able, meant to be an upgrade for notebook user but still usable with DAP.

 

[blawhh]

wow thanks I just bought my E5

any dates you would like to share?

 

[Kpalsm]

I'd guess the E7 will probably sell between $30 and $40, let's call it $35 USD.

And the E1, maybe about the same price as the E5, or a little more expensive (if it's an improved design; I would imagine it would be) so like $$25 USD?
