Planning to get this but wanna know does it really improves the SQ much or just amplify the sound? Would it be nice to be used with Shure E2G earphone?
*
depends on the earphone itself bro... i pair it with my stock iphone buds and i have to admit... the separation of instrument is really good.... the bass boost itself giving it more punchy but not the kind of fatigue bass... overall it is nice for my iphone stock buds but not my bijou, as i couldnt feel anything improving accept the bass boost....
im not sure about shure e2g phones... but if u really need some good bass boosting... i think this is one of the cheapest way u can find...

i still hear good changes eventhou im using the stock cable with mini 3.5mm.
the bass is tighten and the isolation of music is quite good, but hopefully i'll be hearing more with the LOD...(hopefully... hahahaha!)

My Fiio E5 doesn't seem to improve the sound quality by much though..However, when I push the bass control button to the middle, instead to either side, the sound really does improve a lot..

I guess it's my own impression only? If anyone tries it and feels it's true, please tell me!
*
if thats how u feel then it must be true... maybe a defect? in terms of fiio E5, it tighten the bass making the bass sound fuller and sweet.... and yeah... it makes ur phones louder.... but i do feel that (using my bijou 4 as comparison) the soundstage also improves a lot... well after i use LOD of course....
im enjoying more with my E5+bijou 4 now than ever....

E7 shipping date depends on how fast FiiO can receive the PCM2706 USB receiver chip from Texas Instruments. It is TI slow shipping that delays the production, FiiO actually already has everything else finished and ready to go full production. Now FiiO is trying to source from other distributor enough chip to launch a small initial batch, but PCM2706 isn't something electronic suppliers usually stock in big number. The current estimation is still some time b/w later January to early Feb.

waiting for this E7 actually.... guess i still have time to save some more for other things..

Agreed. But i would say cable is still the last part to upgrade and should only be upgraded when it has become a limit to your setup. Just upgrade your source such as DAC and amp until reaching ur budget allowed then change the cable to improve the setup. Cable improvement to me is still small as compare to changing source, amp and headphone. So if on a budget some cheap diy cable will do fine until those cable has become a limit of your future setup.

fiio e5 with stock cables do produce a good sound but fiio e5 with custom lod with silver wires tends to opens more details BUT....

fiio e5 with LOD silver cyro treated cables do improve the sound sonically.... brows.gif

then again.. the harga also improved sonically too!!!

thrs a gen misconception wif amps, esp d expectation of "improved" sq ... a gd amp doesnt color d sq, it basically amplifies ... thr4 gold in gold out & rubbish in rubbish out as well.  4 d case of selected mp3 players wif dock connectors, including iphone / ipod (except shuffle), certain model of sony & sansa, where d internal amp can b bypassed wif lod, then d improved clarity wil shw wif a gd amp ...

quite agree with the statement above... it is not THE BEST amp i ever heard but it is a bang for bucks amp.... need to know what is ur source files, ur connections and ur phones too....

ive been paring my e5 with bijou 4 (later broke), soundmagic PL 21 (which i give it to my friend), CK100, baby stax and DBA - 02 and it improved the sound of all the phones i mention but not sonically but still i can hear details tighten, bass sound alot more controlled than unamping it.last time i combine it with EFN custom LOD, which is good but when i got my whiplash Elite SCSCag LOD.. it sounded even better....

the thing about e5 is... its too small to be carried around lol.... but eventhou i seldom use it now... i still keep it... just a reminder how good is the amp for me...
