ipods are not exactly a good source.
Decent but not really that fantastic.

I'd prefer the E5 because of the versatility of the ICs used and the charging + bass boost option - i keep mine off most of the time, actually all the time.
So far stock the stock IC is down right shit but then again its a beginner's amp.

You pay for what you get, so if you're looking to upgrade the IC just move on to a decent amp.

a decent portable usb dac amp FiiO E7

lol, nice shilling.

wat do u mean shilling

hi guys.. im currently using Fiio E5 with my bijou 3. both popular with their bass level. im not really satisfy with the bass bijou 3 can pump initially. then bought a E5 to boost it further.

what i can say it like about 5% increase in bass boost for me. my ear din detect anything comfortable, still feel the light bass only.

anyway, heard again. E5 3.5mm to 3.5mm doesnt really that good. and i can notice hissing sound in background all the time. so would like to ask that, any pro can test my bijou 3 n E5 is it really that low bass compared to urs.. or even better i would like to try to change the default 3.5mm to 3.5mm connector to a better cable.

anyone can help me on this?

d E5 is a reali low noise amp, unless ur source is noisy.

i went to tropicana mall hoping to listen to e7's demo... but it's not available...

oh well.. at least i got to listen to e5 & e1... but both amps are still not my type...

@moniquee you should give david a call first . David still can remember me .. ?I am the 1 talked to you about e7 and k701 in the apple exhibition at saturday night .

I tried E5 before as well, the hissing prob is there no doubt, regardless of what PMP you're using.

What IEM are you using when you're testing the E5? I've nvr tried the Sansa and Cowon, but the Sony X series itself, even without amping, the hissing prob is so prominent ady xD

so its not d fault of d e5

Any news on Fiio E7 when it's going to be in and the price?

If a 4-component-setup (file + player + amp + headphones) hisses... and when change one of the component and no more hiss... is this means that particular component cannot synnergise well within the setup?

Late April or early May, and this time it should be on time. Price is around US$85, more or less.
