Will I notice a difference between FIIO E7 and E10

I currently use my E7 through my Macbook Pro, I have no intent on using mobile with my iPhone. I use the Audio Technica M50, will I notice a difference in the sound quality with the e10? Good, or worse, and what differences if any? Basically is it worth me sending E7 back to get the e10?

The only big differnce is the amp. The E10 from Headfonia's review has better mids, tighter, more soundstage and more bass due to the amplifier in the E10. If you can just send the E7 back and get the E10 for little additional money..then do it . it's a better sounding DAC/Amp than the E7. i would also advicse that the E17 Alpen is due out. IT is noticebaly better than the E10. however, it is also $135-$150

thanks for replying! I was hoping to stay in the sub 100 dollar rage, so the e17 is a little over that. The e10 is actually cheaper, and if its noticeably better, i've got nothing to loose! I was just wondering if i would be able to notice the subtle difference, but it seems like i would. thanks again

your welcome. and to clarrify in case u are still unsure. the E10 is better than E7 sounding. quite noticebaly from reviews :) since u aren't using and won't be using portably. i can't / won't recommend the E17. The E10 and E7's amp is ...not too too powerful but since u are doing fine with the E7. your headphones are not hard to drive then :)
