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-slipping Having 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

Title... Not an experienced audiophile, just picked up a DAC/AMP to fix electrical interference in my PC setup. Being used with low impedance headphones (ATH-M50X's). I love songs with heavy bass. That being said, the bass boost is trash, you're much better off downloading a software equalizer and setting that to your liking. Besides that tho it's a nice little product. Emphasis on little - Was expecting something a bit bigger based on the pictures, but it fits in your palm. Not a big deal tho since it's just getting mounted near my PC, size didn't really matter. Quality wise it fixed my problem and the audio for everything just seems much cleaner. Anyone else using it for PC that uses Realtek sound drivers and their built in equalizer be warned tho - This device has its own drivers (Was plug and play, so windows recognized it and installed the drivers instantly) that do NOT come with an equalizer. Took 60 seconds to get out of the box and plugged in, then two hours searching for a good software eq that didn't sound like trash and configuring it properly. Once everything was set up tho it was well worth it.

طبعاً أخذت هذا المضخم مع سماعة beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO 80 Ohm وصراحة شي خرافي، فرق شاسع بإستخدام السماعة قبل وبعد استعمال المضخم. الإيجابيات: 1- صغير الحجم ومصنوع من المعدن ولا يوجد به تشويش أو مشاكل توصيل سلك أرض بحيث لا يوجد تشويش. 2- السلك اللي يجي معاه صغير/متوسط الطول يعني يكفي حاجتك وزيادة بإذن الله وجودته جداً جميلة ( USB-A to USB-C ) طرف السي يكون من جهة المضخم 3- تضخيمة للصوت جداً بطل لسماعتي ذات الي 80 أوم 4- فيه زر إضفاء خيار تضخيم البيس بالأغاني وجداً عجبني وموزون على اللي أحبه بالمللي ( On - Off ) 5- تقدير تختار وضعيتين لتضخيم البيس من Hi إلى Lo هذا في حال شغلت خيار تضخيم البيس من الأساس، جداً ممتاز واتوقع يغطي جميع الأذواق بشكل عام 6- فرار تحكم بمستوى الصوت صناعته حلوه وتحس بفخامته يعني مو باخلين بجودة صناعة الجهاز والأزرار اللي على الجهاز السلبيات: 1- ليتني ما شريته من هنا وليتني دريت أن الشركة صينية وهي بنفسها تبيعه على علي إكسبريس ب 225 ريال :) كان شريته من علي إكسبريس ووفرت واجد. 2- موقع شركتهم لك عليه يعني مو ذاك الزود لكن يأدي الغرض. 3- تنزلي الدرايفر حق المضخم ما يحتاج لكن حملته من باب الإحتياط ولكن عملية تنزيل الدرايفر غبية تكون عن طريق موقعهم فيه زي المنتدى ورافعين الدرايفر على جوجل درايف يعني كأنهم ما يقدرون يرفعونه على موقعهم مع إستضافتهم لكن على العموم الوضع سهلات

I took the directive to take matters in my control and eliminated it by using E10k. Website says there are drivers for it but I've read that there are issues with it. No issues with the default windows drivers though. You can also use an OTG to play audio from your phone. My Poco X2 recognized it right away

Amazing price to performance honestly

Je l'ai payé 70 € et à ce prix c'est clairement mieux (plus de détails, plus de "tenue", plus de largeur, que la carte son de mon portable, en tout cas en écoute au casque. N'espérez pas une grande différence sans casque ou bons haut-parleurs. J'apprécie le bouton de volume, et le fait que je peux donc l'éteindre. Quand je dis "très bon rapport qualité prix", je l'ai essayé sur un ampli Hifi (Myryad Z140), comparé à mon Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100, et il n'y a pas photo. Ce dernier est largement supérieur en terme de largeur, de détails et de profondeur. Je précise cela pour ceux qui penseraient qu'en payant moins de 100 € ils auront une super qualité. Il n'y a pas de miracles. Donc très content de mon achat à ce prix.
