Separate amp is easy.
Separate DAC... is going to be costly. Haven't seen too many of these that are inexpensive.
There is an advantage to having dedicated DAC/AMP in that you can get overall better sound quality (debatable, and depends on how sensitive your ears are to changes... so you may or may not feel/hear it) but generally speaking that's in the case of higher end models which can cost you A LOT.
Unless you go the DIY way.
im going to buy the fiio E11 amp, but I still need a dac. Im looking for a dac that can take a mini toslink 3.5mm input.. but I would also like to be able to have a 3.5mm digital input. I know that the E17 has this capability, but like I said, I would like a separate amp and dac.
