I guess from your answers that my choice is not really... a choice. I'll see if I can get a Fulla in the near future.
Thanks you both for you help
I wouldn't be so quick to jump on the Fulla bandwagon until a few more positive testimonials hit the forums (like this one). While it sounds like SQ is good with the Fulla, the build quality and proper operational consistency seems to be seriously lacking at this point. Frustration with the volume pot not working correctly, and it being somewhat of an inconvenience to use (for some, not all), the enclosure itself being described by some as too sharp, etc...etc...
I ordered a FiiO E10K and should be receiving it today or tomorrow. I went with a better built product with a much better track record as far as build quality and reliability goes, and if it doesn't quite reach the sound quality of the Fulla in certain areas, so be it! I'll take trouble-free performance for a slight drop in SQ anyday. After all, these little amp/DACs are about convenience.
I also find that there is a lot of hyperbole whenever a new product is introduced and new buyers want to show how much they love their new purchase. You can find these kinds of exaggerations on almost every thread that is the subject of a new product. You can find some in the thread for the E10K!
I am genuinely intrigued by the Fulla and down the road will probably pick one up (or its V2 version), but for now it just seems to be too much of a risk taking into account all the problems new Fulla owners are having. Prospective buyers might want to give Schiit a little time to work out all the bugs before snagging one.
