Help Choosing a DAC

[Vapor]

Hi Everyone!

 

I have recently been looking into moving away from my headset and going towards a setup with my ATH-M50s.  I had strayed away from them when I was given a headset and needed to use the mic on it.  I plan on picking up a snowball mic to fix that problem.  The next thing I have been looking into is getting a external dac to fix some static issues as well as connect my headphones and speakers all into one box.  

 

I have found this but could not find too heavy of info about it so I was looking for opinions:

And just as a comparison how would this stand against a FiiO e10? (trying to stay at or below the price of 80$)

 

Thanks for your help

I would really go for the E10 at that budget.

Fiio E10. I haven't really heard much (or anything) about the DAC/AMP you linked, but if you're willing to give it a shot, go for it. But I, myself would get the Fiio E10.

You don't need anything for that headphone.

I know that the increase in quality from it may not be very large but it was also to get away from interference I was having from my graphics card.  From what I understood an external dac would solve this issue?

You can go for something like the ATR2500 or ATR2100 where you can use them as your primary sound device through your headphones, I suppose?

Correct, you'll want to get something that has a digital input via USB or optical.
