You might like having a bass switch on the E10k.
honestly, the vmoda m100 didnt rly scale up very much for me w budget entry external components. (tho i kno there r ppl out there who disagree) if i were u i wld just save the money for smtg nicer down the road. (like a nicer pair of headphones). i wld agree spending too much money now for an amp/dac is silly when ur using mid-fi closed portable headphones.
I'm not big on that stacked desktop set up, my desk is pretty small, and while I could manage, that just seems excessive. I'm not sure what you mean by "b-stock" though. I was really looking for something more compact, so the E10K and Fulla are my main choices still, but again, I'm curious how they differ.
I don't plan on buying a new pair really anytime soon, I've had the V-Moda's for about exactly a year now. You consider the E10k and Fulla to be budget entry though? I wouldn't mind going higher than $75 (like those), but that combo you mentioned doesn't really appeal to me. Like I said, I'm interested in something compact. And again, what did you mean by b-stock?
"b-stock" something that is in less then perfect condition, fully functional, but maybe has a scratch or ding on it, any slight imperfection that would keep it from selling at normal price.
I guess there is not really a big difference between the E10k and Fulla,
The E10K comes with more features, like line-output and coaxial digital output, which is maybe features you have no need of.
or returned items or refurbished items. can be found a lot cheaper.
mmm... do you need portability? ya, those two are among as budget as you can go on the price scale for a good combo unit I think.
I don't intend to bring my amp/dac around with me, my smartphone's sound is good enough. "Portability" for me would just be something that doesn't take up that much space. You're the only one so far ITT who's said the E10K and Fulla are budget entry and won't bring out what I need in my V-Moda's

To me, it's pretty simple: If you are a gamer or want digital features like dolby/dts decoding, dolby headphone or SBX, then get a soundcard. Or, if you want just the highest quality stereo music, then get an external DAC/amp.
Yeah, it's getting pretty ridiculous how many times people recommend soundcards for gamers with stereo headphones, which are also often the most highly recommended for gaming.
The surround stuff on soundcards is great with TRUE 5.1/7.1 headphones or loudspeakers for games and movies, but otherwise they're just eating up electricity and computer resources.
