Good replacement for fiio e10k?

I've had two so far and they just keep failing me. After a few months of use randomly start hearing distorted sounds and static. Anyone know a different amp that sounds the same or better for around the same price?

SMSL SD793-II if you have optical out from your motherboard. Although I'm not sure why you're getting such a cheap external solution if you have the motherboard in your partpicker list.

My on board sound doesn't work properly, always different levels out of each ear no matter what settings i change
