Hi, it's been some time since I've looked into audio again (last time was when I bought my AD900s), but it's always good to be back.
Anyways, I currently have a xonar DG, but am getting really annoyed with driver issues and its amplifier going insane on me occasionally. As a result, I've been interested in separate desktop amp/dac combos for a bit of time. It wasn't until winter break, though, that I decided I really could use one 'cause apparently, my laptop's audio hardware is just plain terrible (annoying buzzing). I know this is probably an issue with the amp and not the dac, but I feel like it would be a good idea to get a decent quality dac too. Problem is, I'm on a tight budget (~$100 absolute MAX) and the fiio e10 just became unavailable through amazon. I've been looking at the E07k from fiio too, but I wanted to know your guys' recommendation.
