I'm using low impedance headphones (Audio Technica ATH-M50) and with the computer volume at 100% at low gain, I don't go much past volume 3-4 on the E10.  Thanks again for your help

That depends on the type of headphone though. Dynamics with a high impedance tend to be a little bit more difficult to drive while orthos with a very low impedance like the HiFiMan HE-500 or the HE-6 are harder to drive yet.

Good point.

I have the E10 and uDac2 and will be making an A/B comparison.

it depends on what you are using it for. but from ClieOS and Headfonia initial reviews.....it is worth the wait if you need to use all it's features :)
