Which product(s) you would like to review:
E5 Portable Headphone Amplifier (Only this since I have been passionate about the idea of this product since I heard about it).
I almost lost it when I heard Sound Blaster was releasing a portable Bluetooth amp with the power to drive 600 ohm headphones. I'm surprised I didn't have a stroke when I saw it has a 24-bit/192kHz DAC and the fact that you can still tether it with a USB cable or optical link was the end of me. It is exactly what I dreamed of for my difficult to drive
Beyerdynmaic T1 600 ohm headphones and to cut the cables away from my phones and systems.
I also have the
Grado PS500/225i/SR60, Senheiser HD650, AKG K550, Sony MDR-V55, Porta Pro, Koss KSC75 that I think would all shine with it.

Link(s) to a previous review(s):
I am not really a reviewer specifically although I spend a lot of time writing small rants about equipment I love in several communities. BUT
I am a good amature photographer and can generate a large number of beautiful images and videos with the unit and various audiophile headphones. I would also be happy to write some reviews of the sound and
relevant samples of my writing about various equipment can be found in the comments below the photos linked here. Any review that I write would be honest but as you can tell by my reviews I am very open to a variety of diff rent sound signatures and would be happy to speak about where the product excels and which headphones pair best with it.

How would you help us to evangelize the product?
I am a member of the Head-Fi community and also the
r/headphones, r/headphoneporn, r/audiophile, r/budgetaudiphile, imgur communities which become very excited about good visuals and new products. I'm not sure that evangelize is the right term but people in these communities do love a good honest review, discussion and lots of photos. I enjoy talking to people about new products and innovations. You have something really interesting and innovative here that I think is going to impress people. I would be very excited to share information about it with these communities.
Other communities I can share this product with are the
Android phone/table community and the local Ottawa headphone meet which I am hoping to join on the next meeting.
I would also do an
HD un-boxing with a production level camera, lighting and studio microphone.
