so my planning to buy the fiio e10k but my not sure if will work with my current set up and my plans, i have a current setup of a harman/kardon soundsticks III and i plan to buy the hyperX cloud II

 

my question is

would i be able to connect my soundsticks to the e10k and will i be able to connect my hypex cloud II to it since i only see a headphone plug in the front and no mic or is it combined? i dont know im no expert when it comes to audio stuff

I think the Fiio e10k is a waste of money if used with soundsticks and clouds (clouds are a great headset for gaming, but not that great for listening to music) ...

 

but yes you can connect the soundsticks and the cloud to the E10K, but would need to use the mic input of your motherboard for the clouds mic ;)

e10k has line out on the back with can be used with the speakers, the cloud can go into the e10 for audio, but you'd need to feet the mic into a soundcard or onboard audio on your computer.
