I'm looking for very affordable DAC+Amp combo to replace my motherboard audio and hopefully sound slightly better.

The cheapest I can find that actually seems worth buying is the FiiO K1.

But I've found another option the has very little information available.

The XtremPro X1, looking up this DAC+Amp and reading the little information and reviews that are out there people have claimed that it's better than the Dragonfly Black which costs $100. But none of the reviews I've found compare it to the FiiO K1.

Does anyone know anything about the XtremPro X1 and if it's better than the FiiO K1?

Yeah its your lucky day mate, this gem would serve you well and is perfectly suited for the purpose:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-C-DA...-to-3-5mm-Headphone-192kHz-24bit/264605092711

Has the same AK4452 "Velvet Sound" DAC chip as the FiiO Q1ii which costs 6 times more. I would rate the AK DAC way above the chip thats in the K1 (I owned one myself for over a year before).

I have that little beauty in the listing above hooked up to a pair of nice 1byOne bookshelf 2.0 speakers and the sound is amazing! :floatsmile:

Highly recommended!
