I think the STX is a better value for money option if you are not using a outboard USB. STX has lower crosstalk(base on the jacks alone, you get line outs as opposed to 3.5mm minis), MUCH better SNR, and its amp section is no slouch either with lower distortion values than the E10. I bought it for an uncle who wanted a HTPC and he is very pleased with it. You can line out to your speakers and let the STX do its job. It is not like you are gonna bring out the E7/9 combo where ever you go.
On the side note: I would consider the E10 for mobility though.
