I'm looking to replace a small cheap headphone amp ( runs on 2x AAA batts ) I purchased from Maplin a few years ago to run in the car and on a pair of headphones
used On an apple Touch and a Nano On Car Stereo via the Aux input - current amp works fine in the car I also have a USB charger Sennheiser PXC-450 Noise reduction headphones Bass boast maybe useful - when on noise reduction loses a bit of bass I have been looking at the Fiio E range and yep, a little confused I would like to use while charging - I know some do - But if theres a big advantage for the modek that does not charge than happy to put up with that I like the extended battery life 80hrs mentioned on one of the models I will also purchase the ipod cable, as this is mentioned in a few reviews as improving quality so what do i know I'm tempted by the E7 - £50 Batt life 80 hrs , no noise hiss, can NOT be used while charging 150mW 16ohm E6 - much cheaper £20 - still no noise hiss, can be used while charging battery life 10hrs - poor build quality compared to F5 - but F5 has hiss E11 Approx £40 can NOT be used while charging battery life 10hrs battery that is easily replaceable 300mW - 16ohm - so is this really twice the power of the E7 E10 now very confused so a little confused on what will work best Do not want for PC sound - just the headphones any help will help - thanks also any alternative suggestions |

The E6 sounds like it would work out really well - It is the best fit for the job, doesn't have features which you would pay for but not use, it is small and light. I Take your point about build quality, but I quite like the fact they didn't put it in a flashy metal case and charge twice as much for it, it is really impressive when compared to its predecessor.
