  • You don't need to spend a lot for great sound
Size: regular Color: Black
This is a fine dac/amp. Not the greatest by any means, but for the price it gets the job done. You don't need anything expensive to get great sound. By default this dac/amp has a nice clean sound, and it gets loud enough on it's own (though the volume on the PC has an impact on this). But I'll share a little secret that some of you probably do not know about. I'll begin with saying that some people probably get bummed out if they get a dac/amp and they don't 100% enjoy it's overall sound signature, or disappointed with it's bass boost, or other EQ's that dac/amp's might come with. Now I will share with you on how to fix all of this. Simply put, get foobar2000 and Equalizer APO (both are free). Foobar2000 has it's own built in equalizer, and unlike some equalizers that are on your PC right now, it can communicate with your dac/amp through output settings. Just be sure to set up layout mode and replace one of the UI's as equalizer (it will be on the bottom of the UI list). Equalizer APO will be the real treat though, it's sound is a lot more clean when using it's equalizer, but I tend to play with both of the above mentioned software since they both have a certain something to offer. This is the for sure way to get the sound you're looking for out of your dac/amp without having to spend additional money, or having to upgrade your dac/amp. The reason why I say that Equalizer APO in particular has a cleaner sound when using it's equalizer, is because even though it's managed in Windows, it installs directly to your dac/amp and optionally any other audio source you may have on your PC (though you can only install to one source at a time without restarting your PC). It has a built-in (software) preamp that can increase your volume as well, with a total of 3 methods to increase your overall volume, which are 1.) Your PC's volume, since it has an impact on this particular dac/amp's overall volume. 2.) The physical volume knob on the dac/amp itself (4 methods if you want to include the L/H Gain switch). 3.) And of course, the preamp on Equalizer APO (that can set the dB extremely high). With that said, I must warn you that with Equalizer APO you can set not only the preamp dB rather high, but any of the 31 frequencies it has listed as well, which does not seem to have a dB limit. So please, keep the dB under 15, or 20 at the most, or you could destroy your headphones and/or dac/amp by volume overload. This is just merely to show you how you can get the most out of your sound without spending a lot, but it does not come with drawbacks. So please, use Equalizer APO with extreme caution. Foobar at least has a 20 dB limiter on it's equalizer, but doesn't sound as clean (especially when comparing to APO installed on a dedicated dac/amp), and doesn't have as many frequencies to choose from (18 vs 31). Also, a couple more things to add - APO will change the sound of EVERYTHING, not just music, or what's playing on foobar, but everything running in Windows, period (so keep that in mind). It can act a little weird if you play around with it too much and will stop adding effects or volume changes, so be sure when you set what you like that you go to file on the top left of the APO software and select 'Save as' so you can make a settings backup file, but you must know that any backup file will not be 'played' because APO is a little stubborn with file names apparently. So what I do, is I make my settings, make and save a backup file with whatever name I want (especially if you want multiple EQ presets/settings). Then save it again, except this time save it over the default config file and overwrite it. This is the only way to get it to work, especially when it doesn't want to play nice. Once everything is up and running you don't have anything to worry, it only does this if you're messing around with the frequencies and preamp for a while and seems to just bog up the software, but other than that it's terrific. I know this seems to be more of a review on software rather than the dac/amp I bought that is hardware, but I feel that more people should know about this sort of thing. You don't have to spend a lot to get a lot. But other than that, the FiiO E10K is a fine dac/amp, especially the price you pay for it and it can tolerate a lot with what I throw at it. It does get a little warm when I push it to the max (I do mean PUSH), but stays cool with it's all metal construction. I try not to push it like that often and only for a short period of testing, because well, any hardware has it's limits and you don't want to do that really. It's small and compact which makes it very portable, travel friendly, feature rich and most importantly, well built. All and all, this is a very nice dac/amp for what you pay for. Sure it's not the greatest, and there is definitely better, but for more cash. Your decision :) At least this way I have shown you a way to change the overall sound signature of pretty much ANY external dac/amp and not having to settle with it's own EQ's, or it's own sound signature. I have given you a way to change the sound how you like it, and that an external dac/amp will provide superior cleaner sound when using this method over onboard from your motherboard due to electrical interference. Thank you for baring with me. I hope this helps a lot of people. PS : For those running Windows 10, please do not use the FiiO ASIO drivers from their website, it doesn't really place nice with this particular OS. It works but you might BSOD on occasion, especially when you suddenly unplug/stop the device while it's in use i.e. listening to music etc. Just simply use whatever driver Windows automatically installs for it and it will run fine. If you have already downloaded the ASIO driver from FiiO, please delete the driver zip/rar file package. Reason being is because when Windows automatically installs a driver, it searches locally on your PC, not just online. It will automatically assume that the FiiO driver is the best driver for it, naturally. On Windows 10, this is not the case. ... show more

  • Great all around, good for linux!
Size: regular Color: Black
Reasoning: The audio port on the back of my motherboard had died, so I was in need of a good solution to my problem. The issue was that I was on linux, an operating system that has a particular issue when it comes to DACs. Packaging: Its a bit simple. You get the DAC, Instructions, and the rather ugly blue microusb cable. There was no packing materials in the product box, so there is a high likelihood that the product could be damaged if delivered incorrectly. Though, I didn't have this issue. Construction: The dam thing is very weighty. Its made out of aluminum for the most part, including the volume dial. nothing feels like it would break. all of the buttons have a satisfying click and have tight tolerances along with a gold plated audio jack. The volume dial is sturdy and doesn't flex. the bass switch has a satisfying click to it. the micro usb port is standard, and doesn't have the best connection to the unit. But that's a problem with micro usb as a standard rather than the device itself. All around, it looks and feels excellent. I will admit that the product does look bigger on the marketing rather than in person. this thing can fit in the palm of my hand! Features: The unit has a 3.5mm audio jack, bass switch, and volume knob on the front. the back only has a usb input. Its powered only by the usb interface. The bass switch is only an on/off button with no adjustment. There is a blue indicator light that will turn on whenever the device is in use. Its rather simplistic, but works well. Audio Quality: I'm no audiophile, I just want my stuff to work. the quality won't blow anyone away. I would say that its probably better than what was on my motherboard, though I really can't say for certain. what I do notice is that there is a lot more detail in what I'm listening to. I can hear footsteps better and with more clarity. the bass boost option just makes things louder, but its a welcome improvement. Though, since this DAC does not have its own power supply, its subject to interference from other devices on your computer. Compatibility: I've tested this device on windows 10 and fedora 34. Both operating systems detect the audio device and default to it when there is no other audio device detected. For fedora specifically, the DAC works 99% of the time. I can switch to it using an audio output extension whenever I need to. Audio is good, and the device will show up even after I would reboot the device. However, updates may interfere with the device. if it didn't show up, I would just unplug and replug the DAC. If that didn't work, then I would just reboot. This did not happen often, so just keep that in mind. I cannot say whether other Linux Distros would work, but it does seem like they would based upon my understanding. Conclusion: A great device that is built well, has simple features, and just works. I would highly recommend this device to anyone with broken motherboard audio who are looking for an upgrade. Also to linux users who need an external DAC for their setup. ... show more

  • Broke after a year of normal use
Size: regular Color: Black
Everything was great about it until it randomly broke after a year of use. The audio control isnt amazing but it does the job. It is also sufficient enough for a dt 990 80 hms. Would rate it a 5 if the build quality was a bit better.
