In dilemma of choosing a DAC. Fiio e10 is more expensive compare to Fiio D3. If we ignore the price in term of the quality, which DAC is better when pairing with my m50 headphone?

just for convenience alone, E10 should be better. And it’s not like the E10 has been reviewed poorly.

 

the D3 takes coax or optical input but not USB. but it still needs power. so then you need a second cable for USB power or a wall wart power supply. it makes the small size a little less appealing as you’re gonna had extra cables coming out the thing.

 

then the D3 still needs the additional amp so you’re still going to need another piece of equipment.

 

I dunno. doesn’t seem like much of a bargain over the E10 considering how well the E10 has been reviewed.
