O2 vs E10K

[mister_s]

If anyone around has seen my problems with my previous amp, they'll know that I'm in the market for a new solid state amp.

I've been wondering which would be the better amp, with price considered, the Objective2 + ODAC, or the FiiO E10K

 

Now my question is, which is better for my headphones which are:

-Bose AE2

-Sennheiser HD558

-AKG Q701

e10k is hella cheap in comparison, so... I don't even know if you can compare them. When it comes to sound there is very little gain past a certain point.

Why do you even need an amp?

It's more for the DAC, my GPU has terrible coil whine, and it comes through the headphones

If it's just to fix noise from the PC, a Syba DAC would probably be just fine, anything to get the sound outside of the PC.

I'd just go for the E10K.

That looks interesting, I might consider it.

I'd just go for the E10K.

That's what I was thinking originally as well. Thanks

As an E10K user, I highly recommend it. It gave new life to my AKG K553s.
