I wish Sonic was carrying these when I bought mine. I have two of these which I use to amplify the the headphone-jack output of an mp3 player going thru an 3.5mm-to-RCA Y-connector into the RCA input of a car amplifier (mp3 mounted on handlebar of a MoTo going to a car amp). Especially if you have to branch the two outputs further into 4 outputs for a 4-channel amp, because doing so further halves the voltage. The battery-life on these things is friggin' great. I'll forget about charging it for a long darn time until one day it shuts-off, and I go "Oops!". They seem to stay charged for quite a long time during periods of no use as well.

FiiO E5 is used as a "pre-amp" for a pair of Logitech external powered speakers hooked up to my large Sony flat screen TV. My previous TV had a "headphone out" jack, but the new one does not. Having only an Audio Out jack, the signal level was too low to really drive the speakers. So I used Velcro for the E5 to the back of the TV, Audio Out to E5 input, E5 output to external speakers. E5 volume up, and the external speakers really kick. Sounds great!

When ordering I originally had little expectations for this amp. Cheap price, small unit, how powerful could it be? The unit is built fairly solid. Also I have tested this on several over the ear, in ear, and just all around different situations like multiple outputs. Overall for the price this is a very good value. Under certain situations like spliting to 2 or more unit did it really have an impact on loudless. With thatbeing said the amp cleans up output greatly. For audiophiles like me this is great! The rechargeable battery lasts quite some time on a single charge. Overall yes I would definitely recommend this amp over more expensive units because of the price vs quality. This tiny unit will greatly clean up output while upping output a tad.
