Review on FiiO E10K USB DAC and Headphone Amplifier - Superior Black Audio Enhancement by Adisorn Soon ᠌

I listened to this model about a year ago, and then I already realized that good cards are rare in the budget segment. Fiio is one of the few companies with decent stuffing that doesn't charge exorbitant prices for decent sound quality. I compared it with Sony PHA-1A, XDuoo XD-05 and even tried a couple of models for 20-30k, and I didn’t hear any cardinal differences. From which I concluded that harvesters from trapous with a USB connection (and not with separate power and two separate devices) are approximately similar to each other. As a result, I took the Fiio Q1 Mark 2 and sold it six months later - for some reason the internal battery got warm and the surface of the card was on the verge of tolerable, far from the most convenient ergonomics of the spinner and noticeably elongated dimensions left it no chance. Then I took Fiio K3, which I use at home to this day. A good card and very advanced features for a card of this level, only I had to tinker with it specifically: put firewood, then open a special department with the Stream Always On mode (without this, the card clicked every 10-15 seconds, turning off automatically without sound and turning on when it was given - the click was wildly infuriating), and without firewood it will still bother, so firewood is necessary. Now at work it was necessary to mix the sound, and . The choice fell on this simple card: it has a low level of background noise, a minimum of inputs, just plug it in and use it. Yes, the settings are not as wide as those of the K3, but it DOES NOT need anything. In Windows 10, the firewood pulled itself up, turned on the ears, plays. A lovely little box with no extra options and with the buildup of most headphones. An ideal replacement for the built-in sound on absolutely any, even the most gaming and fancy motherboard. In general, for my money I warmly recommend. Comfortable, compact, hassle-free and good sounding. Entrance ticket to normal sound, where you don't have to go into the audiophile jungle.
