Hi anyone have any input on comparing this to a Creative E5? The decision for me must be made before the drop ends for the E5. Thanks in advance.

ameanlAs someone who owns a creative E5, as well as a Oppo HA-2 ( Which has been compared to the XD05 ), the E5 sounds like shit compared to the HA-2. It also doesn't have enough power to power 600ohm headphones ( DT880 ), while the HA-2 does, cleanly.
People are saying the XD05 sounds onpar if not better than the HA-2.
I personally listen using DT880 600Ohm's or Shure SE846s IEM's.
However if you want bluetooth, XFi features on PC, and also a decent sounding set of microphones in a portable DAC, the E5 is hard to beat. But SQ wise definitely will not be close to the XD05 or HA-2's.
