A personal remarks from
seller: Being involved in hi-fi business before, I was a little
sceptical when being introduced to this product, but I have to confess
that I was pleasantly surprised with this Fiio E3 and E5 amp,
it
gives a fuller body, warmer vocal, crisper bass, wider and deeper
soundstage, in short it is more MUSICAL, a step closer to a hi-fi
system. I think this is because the MP3/MP4 players in the market are
mostly underpowered, the Fiio's amp just patch up the gap nicely, yes,
just nice, and they are not over-doing it. GREAT !

OK,
just got the amp. It is TINY. I mean, really tiny. I don't know if
pictures even convery the tininess of it. I've never seen a Xin
Supermicro, but it can't be any smaller than this thing. Very nicely
packaged, seems very well-made. Obviously, there's no volume
adjustment. Between my Sony A818 and Ety ER-4Ps w/ S-cable, it sounds
good, though I haven't listened enough yet to say how good.
Volume-wise, the ER-4Ps without the 4S cable seem to have just about
the same volume as they do with the amp + cable. Which is basically
what I was looking for. So I can get the 4S sound with the 4P volume.
Soundstage seems a bit wider with the amp, and a bit more bass as well,
but those are based on very brief listening.
Two
things are for sure: 1) I'll have no trouble fitting this amp in my
shirt pocket or front pants pocket along with the A818 & 2) it
was
worth the price I paid!

OK,
I've done a lot more focused listening and here are my conclusions,
based on my listening with a Sony NWZ-A818 and Etymotic ER-4Ps (with 4s
cable):
* Volume with the 4s cable + FiiO amp is almost identical to unamped 4p
cable, but sound quality is much better
* With the 4s cable, the amp adds volume equivalent to about 8 clicks
on the A818 volume meter ^^ in other words, level 22 with the amp is
about equivalent in volume to level 30 without the amp
* Comparing equivalent volume levels with and without the amp, I prefer
the sound with the amp. Hard to pinpoint what exactly I like better,
but it's subjectively better. Soundstage is a bit wider, overall sound
seems a bit more precise and open. Bass is boosted a bit, but it's not
overwhelming and bass is still tight.
Overall,
even without the volume boost it gives me for high-impedence phones, I
prefer the sound with the amp. Given the price, size and sound quality
I'd say this is a no-brainer. If you need a volume control or power
switch (power is cut by unplugging headphone jack) look elsewhere
(A note from Kemen: We have another model E5, which is with volume
control and power switch, with built-in rechargeable battery, a little
bigger and heavier, and higher price). But if you want a tiny,
great-sounding amp at an amazing price, I'd highly recommend giving the
FiiO a try.
One
other side benefit for me: the headphone jack on the Sony is at the
bottom, and I'd always kind of wished it were at the top. With the FiiO
configured the way I have it, the headphone jack is now at the top.
P.S.
I wish there were an apparent easy & reversible way of opening
the
case to see what's inside, but there doesn't appear to be. The size
appears almost identical to Xin SuperMicro and I am wondering if they
cloned that amp (without the Xin's volume control).

I
got mine today (that was some fast shipping from Hong Kong! ), and I am
not disappointed. The sound quality is as good as my uamp107. The sound
signature, however, is different - the bass is more emphasized (which
is not a bad thing when paired with the IM716). It is a huge
improvement over the standard HP jack on my ZVM.
The amp is small
(2.17' X .9' X .58'). I saw many pictures of it, and I was still
surprised when I took it out of the box.
For what I paid
for it ($13) well worth the 'investment'. It's definitely a winner in
the SQ/$ category.
edit: dang! it's
even driving my vintage K240's (600 ohms)
BY Kabeer
Got
my today also. I will let it burn for a while before I give any
impressions. It doesn't look like it has any big caps that need to burn
in though.
EDIT: Can't help
myself, will leave some short impressions anyway.
The
fiio is (at least before burn in, but I do not believe that burn in
will change much) not completely neutral. As other have stated, it
definitely gives the sound more body. I especially belive that it has a
bumb in the lower midrange as well in the bass. This makes it add just
a bit of warmth to the sound.
