The FiiO E10K--all-new DAC and amp stages
Last question: Do you think the Fiio E10k Sound Quality is SIGNIFICANTLY better than the ELE DAC which uses PCM2704? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/221477069768?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 It's like a 15 dollar DAC vs a 75 dollar DAC. Fiio E10k costs 5x more. If...- Pensel

Yamaha EPH-100
Thanks for the advise! I'll definitely be careful with moisture. Still waiting for my EPH-100 to arrive. Apparently it's in transit, it was shipped out yesterday but until now, it's not here yet. And I paid 10 dollars for shipping!- Pensel

Amazon feedbacks? Like where? Like arcwindz mentioned, there are 11 reviews on Amazon and most of them are positive. Where's the fiio website support thread? I'm trying to access it but to no avail: http://www.fiio.com.cn/support/index.aspx- Pensel

Which DAC would be a better buy?
Thanks guys! It will take me some time to digest that :D And yeah, I'm looking at the Fiio E10k. My Yamaha EPH-100 is rated at 16ohm. 100% won't hiss with the Fiio E10K?- Pensel

How stupid of me. Thank you for waking up my sleepy head :D Mine is rated at 16ohms. Is that good or bad? Would it work well with the Fiio E10K without hissing?- Pensel

Tiny DAC, Big Sound, Evolved – Stoner Acoustics UD100 / UD110 / UD120
One more thing I found is that Fiio E10k uses a PCM5102 chip as well without the "A" as the U120 uses a PCM5102A. Similar? And also I was also interested in the Fiio E07K but noticed in this page: http://www.fiio.com.cn/products/index.aspx?ID=100000059783139&MenuID=105026003 They mentioned...- Pensel

Tiny DAC, Big Sound, Evolved – Stoner Acoustics UD100 / UD110 / UD120
Where can I get the UD120? And does it work with the computer? As I'll plug j to the PC to use it as a USB DAC most of the time. Or use an IEM with it- Pensel

Any info/reviews of the Soundblaster E3 and E1?
Thanks. I did some research on the Xonar U1 and quite a few reviews mentioned about unit hissing. So it might be a common problem with the U1 itself?- Pensel

Which DAC would be a better buy?
Hi, actually I don't know what is impedance and how it causes hiss/noise? How do I know the impedance of each DAC? Is it the Signal to Noise ratio? Higher impedance or lower impedance is better? Actually the Yamaha EPH-100 is in delivery to my place. My current DAC, the Xonar U1 hiss...- Pensel

Which DAC would be a better buy?
Ahhh I see. Well, I don't think I have a choice anyway to choose either DAC or Amp. I'll be connecting the device to my laptop via USB and then to my IEM using the headphone jack- Pensel

Any info/reviews of the Soundblaster E3 and E1?
Thanks. I have a Xonar U1 which hiss and it's so frustrating to use an IEM with it. I hope this won't be the case for the E1. Btw, how's the sound quality of the E1? As good as PCM2704?- Pensel

Hi, I'm looking to replace my current DAC which hisses a lot when I pair it with my earphones. Connected to my laptop all the time. Looking at these 2: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0093KZTEA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3S2OI7XGPV9FS ...- Pensel

MINI PCM2704 HI-FI USB DAC SOUND CARD, No Brainer?
Sorry for necro-ing this topic. I noticed you guys mentioned hissing? I need a new DAC to replace my current one as it's hissing too much that it's almost unbearable using my earphones with it. Care to test it with IEMs and let me know? Thank you very much- Pensel

Yamaha EPH-100
Awesome! I already placed an order and hoping they'll ship it out quickly. Can't wait! Btw does this earphone sound good without a good amp/DAC? Because I'm actually planning to get a new DAC/amp to be used with my laptop primarily as the current one hisses too much. I'm looking at the...- Pensel
