Hey guys, I want to get a DAC for my computer will be connecting Logitech Z623 and ATH-AD700X I was looking at the FiiO E10 and FiiO E09k
Is there any that would be better? and is i worth spending more on the E09K?

unless you want a portable dac/amp (more portable than the e10) get the e10

Would it not improve anything?

 

No. There isn't much of a SQ increase when using an "upgraded" DAC with speakers.

Tyler, I'm not sure if this has already been said several times over, but you seem like a really honest dude.  I read several of your posts, and you have never once tried to upsell someone.  I commend you for that.  :)

My PC specifications are in my profile.

I'm not here to sell anything, even if I wanted too I can't (against the rules). Just trying to help ;).
