I have bought m50x and im not satisfied with onboard sound chipset,i think m50x is not getting full potentiel from onboard, i really need a good amp+dac combo in order to get full pontentiel of my m50x, my budget is 75$.

I found creative sound blaster z and fiio e10k but which one would be a better choice? cause i want to boost m50x's bass.

My mobo is asus h81m-c

The Sound Blaster Z comes with headphone surround sound, a USB DAC/amp does not.
Because of impedance issues, the SB-Z would add bass, but more so (just slightly) in a bloated (louder, less detailed) way.
Where as the E10K headphone jack's low output impedance (OHM) would be better for audio detail.
and the E10k does come with a bass boost.

Or save some money and buy the FiiO K1

Alright since i have a gaming headset corsair void pro usb rgb for games, all i want is a good amp dac to listen musics.
So i am going for e10k as you recommend it, is there anything that you might want to recommend me to get?
Thank you in advice.
