The round one is a larger headphone jack. I plan on using this setup with the Alpha Dogs, and the standard cable on those does not have a 3.5mm headphone jack. The square black thing is a Sansa Clip+ with Rockbox firmware installed on it. It's my DAC. It's small and cheap, but very good.

Looking at the E12 for my first portable, I have Amperior's and Audeo Phonak PFE 122.  Any experience with the Senn's or Audeo PFE and your E12?

Snagged an E12 about a week ago from Headfoneshop Toronto.
 
Absolutely love the unit.
 
I am going to try coating the side of the amp closest to my phone with high quality 3M EMI Shielding tape to try and reduce EMI from 3G/LTE/Wifi. Using Airplane Mode until I can get my hands on it. Will let you guys know how it goes.
 
Setup is iPhone 5 -> official Lightning to 30 pin adapter -> Fiio L9 cable -> E12 -> Ultrasone Pro 900
 
Low gain, no crossfeed, no bass boost (well on some dubstep tracks I turn it on). I commute about 4 hours a day and listen to music throughout that time, and 30-45 minutes at work. I have yet to charge it in 3 days and the battery warning light has yet to show.
 
Build quality is excellent.

Nice!
It's a great amp for the money!
I must confess, sometimes I turn the bass boost on.
Don't tell anyone please?

I DEFINITELY like some color in my lows, but the Pro 900's already do that for me passively. Most of the time

Don't tell anyone, but I leave mine on permanently. Not sure if it's because it's the "version 1" or not, but I see absolutely no reason to turn it off.. love it.

I feel shame because SOMETIMES I use the bass boost.
Usually with Q701s.
 
Like I said earlier, don't tell anyone!
