I have an E3 and yes, there is an improvement with the sound. The only con is the AAA battery, you need lots of money to buy or buy the rechargeable ones.

The FiiO E3 and E5 are already “quite” old considering they came out late last year and early this year respectively. FiiO already have E1 and E7 in the works.

IMHO, FiiO is more of an entry-level portable “audiophile” upgrade.

For the portable audiophile fanatics back there you can try googling Headfi.Org or Jaben.Net. They have very good discussions and pictures on portable hifi.

Portable hifi is quite a thing already here in SG. I have a rig before (ipod classic+lineout dock-to-miniplug cable+amplifier+Grado headphones) but realized it’s such a hassle to bring around.

JohnLloy is right, upgrade your earphones first. Good brands are Westone, Ultimate Ears, AKG, BeyerDymamics, Grado. If there’s a Grado dealer in Manila, do try the SR-60. It should be around Php3k, almost the same price as a crappy Skullcandy but with excellent sound performance.

if your into high end amp, P4 is one of most well known. Cost Twice..

YOu can also go to tipidpc.com for more reviews and insights on which of the two will suit your needs. They have an official thread for this amplifier.

It’s like a case of buying an expensive media player then nullyfying it by using a stock earphones. same goes w/ other crappy earphones for mobile phones. Then came this device to resolve this issue.

@jan – I’ve updated the post above to include contact information of the distributor.

@jhay – as long as it’s 3.5mm jack, it’s compatible.

I wish these were compatible with Sony Ericsson headphones. Oh well…
