FiiO E10K (OLYMPUS2) TYPE-C USB DAC

I recently installed an Android HU from DroidUK and was advised to add this unit for extra punch.While the sound of the HU was good, it is amazing with the FiiO e10K!!! Bass has way more punch and the sound field just seems much wider. And of course it now goes as loud as you want.The unit itself is extremely well made and feels very high quality.For the price, this is probably the best bang for the buck DAC out there

Drives my HD560s perfectly with enough volume to mess with EQ as I want - when I feel like it - and a handy bass switch. Great entry level for the £.

Delivers high quality audio on my Windows 10 pc and Mac. Would be 5 stars but it is UAC2.0, therefore it will not work with a PS4 or PS5 due to those platforms only accepting a UAC 1.0 device. The E10K with a micro-USB cable is UAC1.0 and would be suitable for a PS system.

Am another in the throng of people driving 'inappropriate' headphones with this - in my case a pair of old, 300 Ohm impedance HD650s. And it does an incredible job of it, driving them to realistic levels without problem or complaint, regardless of musical style and with great fidelity.Can't speak to the issues people have with the USB C connector as mine is firmly affixed to the top of my desktop computer and isn't going anywhere. YMMV.Pretty much plug in and play, aside from downloading and installing their ASIO driver from Fiio's website which was simple enough. Oh, you'll have to put the sticky feet on yourself. The horror.Are there better DAC/amps for driving this sort of load? Almost certainly but I'm not in any hurry given the performance of this little box (and it is unfeasibly tiny, much smaller even than the images suggest).Recommended!

On a small fling I ordered one of these as I've seen some USB-C DACs for silly money, upon arrival I was surprised by it's tiny size (I must have thought the headphone jack was a 1/4" one, no... it's a 3.5mm one) and super easy to setup on my Windows 10 laptop! The build quality is high and looks like it could survive getting a drop from a desk no problem (don't test this though) Did feel like having to add the rubber feet was a bit fiddly, and might swap out for some "dual lock" velcro in future for assured non-slippingHaving a physical dial to adjust the volume is something I really appreciate having now, and though it's not powered anything bigger than 32 ohms so far, it's powerful and makes music/audio super crisp and punchy and I am already looking at some 120 ohms options in the future!I do recommend this to folks who are in the market for a starter DAC, as I think I'll be using it for years to come!

Had the Schiit Audio Hel 2E but it broke after 3 years usage, this was the replacement.USB-C power has plenty of juice to drive my Moondrop Kato, Moondrop Variations and even my HD660S.

Worked perfectly for a couple months, and still a good product as long as i keep my usbc cable and headphone cable entirely still. Several times a day I will have to switch it off and on again just for my audio to come back. Returns window is gone so can't even get a replacement. I recommend getting a more robust DAC (that being said there is no damage to the DAC or either cable).

dont not buy
