hello.. for over 1week of research i still not get what i needed (Sorry for my bad english)
 
so basically i almost read 3/4 of the post here in headfi because of dac
 
BTW my list of headphones are
 
Sony XB500 Modded(Recabled and changed drivers)
Ath-M50
Shure 215e
 
My List of AMPS are
 
Digizoid ZO2
Fiio E6
 
and i came down to this..
 
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi HD USB Audio System with THX SB1240e
 
alright i heard a good reviews and comments about it being awsome on game sounds but didnt get much comments on music section so im still not sure if im going to buy this and also i heard they are not pretty much awsome because lacking of what they call DOLBY live
 
FiiO E10
 
okay almost same price range as creative sound blaster and i heard alot of comments on music section and thats awsome because i heard they are really superb DAC at this price range but most of the reviews i heard are saying that fiio is not on the Fun and engaging side which made me think twice.. i read that fiio focused on more live monitoring clarity.. so basically i love my digizoid for being engaging.. but nahh still not sure about Fiio e10
 
Schiit Modi
 
well i think this is kinda more pricey than those two.. but since i think it wont release the potential of this dac without its partner amp(still dont know) and im still thinkin that this rig might be an over kill for my headphones i know they are so so good but it might be too over qualified on me
 
Asus Xonar U3
 
alright most of my friends here are also suggesting me this.. since they said its cheap(which i dont really care if its 80$ to 100$) but still considering the price of this DAC it wont reach the level of those two so still thinking about it
 
 
well i need really help for my DAC which sound fun and engaging on music
