Does the Ember have a DAC? The coax output from the E10K is digital PCM....
I think you want to use the Line Out.

Years ago, I had a Marantz CD player. I also had a costly headphone amp. I honestly didn't think music sounded any better out of the dedicated amp than straight from the CD player headphone jack.
Any idea on price? I'm looking for a new Dac to pair with my hopefully soon arriving "Black Widow".Anyone else getting reDACted? The Multibit Gungnir? I think it will bring even more to the 650's... I can't wait.
My HD650s and CD5004 sound so good together I'm actually going to put the purchase of a headphone amp on the back burner for awhile and use the money to put towards a new lens instead. Really surprised at how well the HD650s sound out of the Marantz, wasn't expecting that at all.
I have a Marantz CD6000SE CD player & PM6004 amp and don't enjoy the headphone output from either of them. They don't sound bad but they don't really sing either.
Not saying the CD5004 is the last word when it comes to driving the HD650 but it certainly is adequate and a lot better than I was expecting. Haven't had a chance to hear the CD6000SE or PM6004 so I cannot comment on those.

Yes, this is right. I just assumed the E10 had regular analogue outs but it's a 3.5mm output so you'd need a 3.5mm to RCA phono's.
I must pay more attention
So i have hd 650 for about 6 months and im using them with fiio e10k but ,i want to upgrade to something else.Im thinking of buying Schiit modi 2 and magni 2.But sadly i live in ireland and they can't ship it from schiit europe website ;/ And electromod website only has magi 2 with UK Mains Transformer ;/ Or maybe buy O2 + ODAC Combo for 270Eur?

well put. And a big decision. I have the 99$ modi now and I love it, no complaints. Just wondering if the upgrade pay-off is worth the price. Will it sound that much better.The BW sounds like a really awesome amp. I'd love to compare it to the ZD... As for reDACted, it's up on Schiit's site now; $1248 new, or $500 for the upgrade from DS to multibit.
I suspect the BW/650 pairing is fully capable of bringing out what the multibit DACs do best... superb detail presentation and resolution. It's a personal taste thing, but I would either get a cheap DAC that sounds nearly the same as every other <$500 DAC, or buy something you can actually hear doing something superb.
