lol, well, that's a good way around my recent laziness, anyways.  Either way, nobody's gonna look at it.

I didn't wanna be the one to say it, so I tried to hide it as congratulatory praise.

I'll look at it. And weep.

That's why I said it wouldn't help, ding dong.

I'm new to DAC/AMP, looking to find a good first one, want to upgrade from my Xonar DG sound card, got ATH-M50x headphones.

 

Is the NEW FIIO E10K still good?

 

Is ALO AUDIO THE ISLAND USB DAC & HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER better then FIIO E10K, i know there is a big price difference but i'm getting it for half price and the E10K is just 110 cheaper.

 

If someone can help please.

Is there something wrong with your current set up? Because spending more is going to do nothing...

Buying an amp for headphones that don't need an amp is probably pointless.

Well nothing wrong with the card, just wanted to upgrade because most of time the Asus card crashes and it has it crash loop sound, which i hate and have to reboot my PC again, which sucks.

 

That's why i was asking about the two options, are they any different, which do u think is better.

 

Thanks.
