Thank you, I'll take it in consideration!!

Thanks for the explanation! It seems like my best option after all, isn't it?

This is the best thing that I've found but I really don't understand a lot of the performance comparison. The Dac between the two, the usb controller it's different and the amp is more powerful on the 2. Other than that I'm too noob to understand

Yeah I think the Element 1 is starting to be my best option. Do you know how much worse it is compared to the element 2? I couldn't find many comparisons
Thanks

Ah that's unfortunate. And yes that is a  pretty good combo. But if you have to have optical in then it might be worth it to go for the d30 and wait or to see if the modi 3 will come back in stock.

I'd like to have optical in if in a future I'll get a console (I play only on pc rn) but I'm not spending way more just for that, if it's a small price different I'd go with the optical option.
The problem with Drop is that you have to wait for the drop shipping for some items (usually like a month after the end of the drop) and then 3-6 weeks to ship to europe. It's way too much time!
The objective 2 amp is in stock only with medium gain, standard gain is out of stock so is a no.
Grace sdac ships June 12 so nope.
So what you suggest is a topping D10 + jds Atom= 109 + 123 (or 172) + 20 = 252€ if lucky or 301€ if unlucky, but the most probable outcome (customs)
 

I'm 22, the house isn't mine and I don't think it's none of your business.
Either way even if I was god rich I see no reason to spend more than that on a phone when they can't last me more than two years.

The response times were quite bad regardless of 144Hz or 165Hz but I was able to set Overdrive to High without issues which made it almost as good as ULMB in comparison and I can keep my GSync as well.
I use AOC AG271QG

Not available in Italy

I did 400 Trfc and 50000 Trefi, If I go lower with the Trfc I bsod and I'm afraid to go higher with Trefi

hitting 2055/2040 is already great, it's very rare for an air-cooled card to go beyond 2055.

Except, as the quoted post explains, it doesn't turn on fast boot.
 
I'm not disagree with you either, just saying it's best not to give advice on something you don't understand.

Dang, my first real pc that you use to play actual games had a 1.8 GHz processor with Intel HD integrated graphics.
It could play Minecraft at like 20 fps nearly lowest settings. Don't know how I could survive that.

Yeah. For CSGO you'll hit like 400fps. PUBG and Apex Legends will do it just fine if you turn settings down to high.

that shouldn't affect audio quality. but Im not discouraging getting a dac amp I would say grab one and if you thing the change in sound quality isn't worth it you can return it. value and audio is always a subjective matter anyway you won't know till you try it. 

Wow guys, thanks to everybody for the support. As you said I'm gonna buy the x6 with Amazon and I hope that I won't return it. 
Quick question: usb or optic? 

going off the back of this guy your using amazon. if you don't like it or don't see a difference you can always return it. no matter what you choose honestly they are all pretty good at doing their respective jobs. 

I would get the DAC X6 again in a heart beat.. I was looking at all those when I made my purchase and the versatility of the X6 got me,  I could run this off my PS4, XBOX, PC, TV, LAPTOP, CABLE BOX anything with an audio output I could push it through this unit and use headphones or output to my stereo speakers in my living room with ease via the RCA outputs on the back.   After reading countless reviews online etc the FiiO units from what I remember were really bass heavy and the amp is sub par at least in the K10 I have no info on the K3.   The M3 lacks inputs and the build quality is not as nice imo.
 
 
 
The Amp is quite powerful for this price range my HD6XX at 300ohm are about the limit for it but anything less than that are powered with ease.   
 
I have owned it for over 2 years and have not have a single issue with it.  
 
Also was reading earlier you were looking at just DAC's which would be fine if your running it into a set of speakers or amplifier but you You can't use just a DAC with headphones unless it has a headphone amp built in most only have rca in / out.
 
+ the x6 is the cheapest on your list,  what could go wrong?

Realistically you should leave these as the default settings unless you know what you're doing.

I wouldn't recommend as you might get some EMI or noise, but you can just use optical and feed it power through the power supply.

100 percent nothing to worry about going 1440p 144hz then 

Yup refer to this video:
If you're cool with adjusting your graphical settings accordingly and considering you'll be rocking an i7 8700K at 5ghz at least, you can actually play about any game with 144fps.
 
the RTX 2080 is still tied up with the GTX 1080 Ti as the 2nd best gaming card in the world.

Yeah, people in the low ranks don't really understand that they're standing still, I just shoot them through walls..
 
That aside, good luck with your PC! Happy gaming!!

get the Viewsonic XG2402 @Untitled VG248QE looks like a rly bad choice why would you recommend this? read here and here this monitor is outdated even for a TN. Or if you can find the succesor of XG2402 the XG240R (RGB, no red accents, faster RT). And for 240hz monitors better not, a144Hz monitor 140fps looks better than a 240Hz 140fps read this topic for more info. MSI MAG and CFG73 have VA panels you get better colors but slow RT (CFG73>MSI if you want colors but keep in mind that CFG73 freesync range is 70-144 and MSI is ~40-144, can`t remember but you can google. and MAG241C panel is better than MAG24C but MAG24C have a better stand with  tilt, swivel, and height adjustment)

Sounds like the move to me
