Hey guys, currently in the process of upgrading my trusty fiio e10 to something a little better, any help/suggestions would be great.
 
Primarily interested in using this for desktop use, although if it's also portable that could be good too.
 
Headphones that I'd use with it are the k702 and oppo pm3, although an hd800/harder to drive orthodynamic headphone shouldn't be out of the question.
 
Currently thinking about the following:
 
iFi iCan SE + Modi multibit,
iFi micro iDSD (maybe black edition),
Schiit Modi multibit + Magni 2 uber,
Schiit Jotunheim
 
Any help would be great, I'm not really sure what the pros/cons of each of these systems are except that the iDSD would be portable? 
 
Cheers,

Meier Jazz FF and either use the E10K's line out or get a Schiit Modi2 (Uber). Has active ground which is kind of like getting the benefits of balanced drive without the need to rewire a headphone. Has a very precise digital pot controlled by an analogue knob instead of buttons, so if you ever need to reduce the volume quickly, you still turn a knob instead of mashing a button and deal with a delay.
