Beginner AMP/DAC Question (E10k vs Fulla 2)

[brentwhipple]

Picked up some HD6xx's and was looking into entry level dac/amps, just something to drive them a bit better without spending a ton for now. Was wondering if the Fulla 2 is worth the extra ~30 dollars.

I just play music and games on my PC, so I was also curious if the bass boost option on the E10K is something to consider for gaming.

Thanks!

Main question is probably going to be whether you only want something that plugs into your computer, or whether you also want something you can use as a portable. (Although battery may also help with computer if the power you're getting over USB is noisy.)

You might also want to consider Audioquest Dragonfly and Fiio Q1MKII.

Would be for my pc, but I could probably get some use out of the E10ks portability

Both the Fulla 2 and E10K offer zero headphone surround sound support, so you would be gaming in stereo audio, unless the game it's self offers any built in headphone surround sound function.
The 300-Ohm Massdrop (Sennheiser) HD6XX should improve with the more power you feed them, so I would say the Fulla 2 is a better option, over the E10K.
