Although using the same chip as E5, but X7 headphone output is much cleaner and sounds more refined.
Any idea where to get more information about the Op-Amp configuration?
Which chip is the same... DAC? Amp? DSP? Bluetooth? If any one of those changed it should make an audible difference, though I have to admit I'm temped to pick up one of the E3's on this last day of the cyber sales week...
As far as the op-amp configuration, I honestly don't know. I have an X7 on the way, but it'll be my first device that can "roll" OpAmps. The layout may be similar enough to the ZxR that someone on the series Z, Zx, & ZxR thread might be able to help... I see lots of pics on that thread.
Does the German store ship to you?
