It's got a few smudges here and there. I'm rough on my players

I traded a kid my Zune 30 for this and some cash. I wanted small size much more than I did capacity... I'm hoping this will hold me over until the Zune HD

@TedwardRoberts

All my players had been small capacity, I just couldn't see the need to have all my songs along with me when I'm out.

Um, why not just listen straight out of the T4 instead of double-amping with the E5???

Or straight out of the O2... it has a really good and powerful headphone out, with no hiss and low crosstalk.

I'm only using my modified T4 with the O2 since it gives me 15dB bass boost instead of the inaudible 3dB the T4 normally gives. I like that because the damn O2 has no EQ in video mode... but otherwise the O2 sounds good enough on its own with any phone and has a really powerful amp section, no need for the T4 - not to mention the E5, which clearly can only make matters worse.

Uhh.. isn't double amping a big no-no ?

 

[dfkt]

It's triple-amping, counting the headphone-out.

well, you can't really say that fio e5 is really an amp

There's a guy that's feeding his M3 amp with the headphone out on the Essence STX because he says it sounds better then feeding it directly with a line out.

There's a lot of 'rules' that get posted here.. there's also a lot of people talking out their ass like they're masters of the audio chain. Try it out. If it sounds better to YOU then it IS better.

Very well said.
My guess is that it would sound better, why else carry that around (not to talk about charging all of them), if it sounds worse.
Besides the tough looks

Well I didn't really mean it in terms of SQ, rather that I've read that double amping may cause the second amp to be overloaded. Something that uncle_erik said in another thread. Oh wait, I've found it:

"You could overload the second amp. They're designed to accept only a certain amount of input from a source - not the amount of power that comes from another amp. At best, you'll increase distortion. At worst, you could cook off something inside the second amp." - Uncle_Erik

neutrik female 1/4" to RA mini, no XLR

edit: see he answered it. on the next page LOL

I am a little confused with the triple amping too, but hey, each to their own....

would have thought the $$ and space would be better used on one really decent amp. seems by using like this, it is no longer compact or so cheap with the interconnects needed; which is the main advantage of both amps (cheap/small), I dont know many people that would choose either one if they were full size portables, but effectively that is what the rig has become the size of, maybe larger and definitely more cumbersome.


whats the draw??? BASSS???

Is it photography skills? Many of your rigs look really attractive, even the simple ones.

No Amp FTW
