just from this thread, and no one has had too much say about a direct comparison between the two beyond speculatoin to justify the $20 (or so) difference to me. i admit the rest of the porta-amp section of the forums outside this thread is still pretty foreign to me.... ^^;;
at this point unless a reviewer directly compares them, I won't really know until this releases in May. so far though, I'm leaning towards the E7 for its slightly lower price w/additional amp function, if the DAC function isn't significantly different.
I'm still curious tho about any other DAC options?

[update] okay so I decided to stop being lazy and used the search button for "DAC"s to find my answer. I went back almost 10 pages and couldn't find many less than $100, and a lot of the results that came up weren't even suitable for "portable" use--it doesn't have to fit in my pocket, but must atleast be able to travel w/my laptop. Looks at the <$100 price point it's only the FiiO E7 or the uDAC (and possibly the Fireye II, but no really strong reviews for it).
