I guess there is nothing too low-end that a cloner won't target - I got news from FiiO that they has received reports that there are fake E5 in the market now. While there are manufacturers trying to copy FiiO success by mimicking the design of FiiO products, they have always branded the products with different name. However, this time we actually see copycat trying to sell their own low quality clone into the market as the real E5. The cloner use cheaper parts in their version, and needless to say, doesn't sound as good as the real E5. IF you are looking for an E5, do try to buy it from a reliable source.
