I just recently found out my HTC DNA supports usb audio and have a decent pair of headphones (V-moda crossfade lp).. was looking for something with dac/amp combo. Would the E07k sound clean? would the E17 be overkill for these cheap headphones?

- If you are thinking in just using it with your phone, and you are not planning in upgrading your headphones, I would go with the E07K. It draws less power and the compatibility is usually better.

- If you are planning a future update to dock it in the E09K, or using it with your laptop, desktop computer, or you think you can take advantage of the optic port, then go with the E17.

Which one (e17 or e07k) has a better sound quality DAC? I just need to line out to an amp; I would be using it with USB (not S/PIDF) from my computer.
