FiiO E1 in black from MacStudio @ LYP & BSC

What is the difference between the E1 and E5? Which one should I buy?

been using Fiio E3 for a while now but at the same time scouring the sales/bulk/audiophile for alternative amps from Fiio (or not).
managed to get a clearer and better picture from reading this thread tho'. thx guys.

though decision ahead. pheww~

If you have iphones or ipod that supports LOD then E1 is better. Otherwise E5 if the general amp to use.

I have got my iBasso D2+ Boa today. However, that amp is too big and its only does improve on the fidelity but I can't listen much on bass. Most of my songs are delivering too much of fidelity and make me so tired to listen on it. Besides, my iPod was also set an EQ at Electronic.

I'm still prefer to my E5 because I am usually listening to korean dance-pop songs which are more depending on the bass side. Besides, my E5 is good enough for listening dance music. Since I does not need much on high frequency but I need much on low frequency.

update : gotten myself a used E5. loving the USB charging and overall improvement on the on/off switch and other parts of it over my current E3.

However, thinking about wether getting a Sansa Clip+ or Ipod Touch. If decided with Ipod Touch, maybe will try to find E1 for it too! *goes and saves money*

It's best you turn off the Ipod's EQ as the EQ will distort sound and make it sound very "harsh"

This happens because all Ipods do not have an advance limited/pre-amp function to control the initial amplitude of the sounds...

In short, if you use an Ipod, dont use the EQ that comes with it...

is the e7 out yet?

I am getting an E3 via bulk order. Thinking of using this with my lap top and some standard ear phones

dunno if i have seen it selling anywhere. googling it since to suggest it's still being finalized. so maybe not yet ?

from pics damn cun, can't wait to see final version.

what the hell wrong for my E5 clip ... just clip on my cloth suddenly the screw dropping off and the clip cannot be used .... very unhappy for such problem

tyring to use the screw driver lock it back but no matter how fcking hard I used is meaningless what a bad day

aisyeh... chill down...

just screw them back tightly... problem settle.... the clip is a bit fragile thou but after i tighten nicely... the problem never occurs anymore...

the most weirdest thing is I cannot tighthen even I use the micro screw driver .... I dunno why it cannot lock it back too weird .... I try a few hours just to locking such clip but still I cannot do nothing ...... even this cannot be claim warranty also

Weird....i'm a E5 user myself and i've been using it for almost a year now, i didn't suffer from falling screw like wingster problem even i use it quite rough when traveling

had sold in excess of 100 uts & did not face any prb like tis

have both E3 and E5, albeit just started using, i have been using it quite constantly and bringing it to all kind of places, seems ok to me ...

hurms, is it the screw for the clip part ? the small screw is it ?

Yea ...the small screw ...

Looks kinda like manufacture problem because I NOT EVEN DROP IT just clip on my cloth WITHOUT any abuse then the screw loose and drop in 1 hour......... really unimagine

and yea I understand that this will not claimed by warranty because they can said I DROP THE AMP ON THE GROUND AND MIRICALLY CAUSE THE CLIP CANNOT BE USED AND THE SCREW CANNOT BE SCREW LOCKED!!!
