Hey there, I am new to this whole audiophile-concept im looking for some reasonable priced all in one AMP/DAC solution for my Fidelio x2's.
 
I am just gonna use them at home for gaming/music.
 
What i was already looking at is the NuForce uDAC3 for example.
 
I'd really appreciate if you guys could help me out and tell me what to buy

So a small stack like the Schiit Uber Stack is out of the question? It drives the X2 very well. The JDS Labs Element is also a wonderful all-in-one unit.

You going to use this solely via PC so there is no need for a portable setup and USB is OK? The Element is awesome and wonderfully built and I would be sure to check it out.
 
I don't see a lot of NuForce uDAC3 around and cannot comment on its sound or reliability which is what I personally would shy away from it. I would rather have a ton of positive feedback from a product than just a few market reviews.\
 
Check out this review;

+1 to Schiit Magni/Modi or JDS Labs Element.

"The Element" is kind of expensive. 
Would i as someone who is new to listenting music in high quality even be able to tell a difference between the JDS Labs and a e10k or  uDAC3?

Yes, probably. Not a huge difference, though. If you had much cheaper headphones I would say you wouldn't be able to tell. The biggest difference will always be in the headphones. The Modi/Magni combo (non-Uber) is $200 and would do wonders. Hopefully that isn't too expensive

It looks like the The Modi/Magni combo is hard to get for a reasonable price outside the US though. Espcially in Germany.

Oh, that's too bad What about the JDS Labs O2+ODAC? Or one of the other O2+ODAC sources?

What about an Audioengine D1?
