Looking for comparison between Nuforce uDAC-2 and Fiio E9

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

Anyone with experience with both the uDAC-2 and the new E9 want to post a comparison? Since these are equivalently priced, I was wondering how they compare; I'll probably buy one or the other. I'd been leaning towards the uDAC-2 but the E9 seems to have more features. I'd be using it with my MacBook (at my desk), with a vintage AKG K141, an A-T M50 (via the integrated headphone amp) and M-Audio AV40 active speakers (via the line-out). Which would be a better choice?

Are you sure you don't mean the e7? The e9 is just an amp, the e7 is the dac/amp combo, the same as the udac2. You can slot the e7 into the e9 to use the DAC of the e7 and the amp of the e9.

So then you can't use the usb input on the E9 unless you have the E7 docked into it as well?

 

EDIT: looks like you can't. Meaning that it's no longer competitive with the uDAC-2, pricewise.
