Onboard audio often relies on low-quality DACs (digital-to-analogue converters) and we found the E1 improved the audio quality of the systems we tested it on, including desktops and laptops. Pleasingly there was barely any hiss and no stutters when initially playing music, as can be the case with other external sound cards.

The E1 managed to make my onboard sound on my laptop sound bad in comparison and it was able to improve the sound of the Nexus 4 considerably. Testing in game, in movies, and with music all sounded great.

The difference was incredible – Dragonforce bounced around my ear canals with increased clarity and intensity – two things which, most of the time, are mutually exclusive. I was blown away by how much better my iPhone’s music sounded thanks to this almost $50 dollar little box.

I am having a blast!! lol
Works as advertised. It's a good quality portable amp for its price.
The E1 is by far the best portable headphone amplifier under 100€ in end of 2015, first it works out out of the box via OTG with my Android 5.0 smartphone something I wasn't expecting. The DAC is competent for the job and the amplifier section is on par with some DIY solutions made by fans. The E1 works as a DAC on elementaryOS Freya but as far as I know its not possible to use the record option, I won't remove the 5 stars because of this detail as I bought the E1 to be a portable companion and it excels on that task and also because it's a OS related problem. Creative Labs engineers did a entry product that raises the bar to the competition. Music wise if you give it a clean signal it will behave without distortion and will output enough to run most dynamic driver headphones loud.
