Hello everyone
I recently purchased some Denon AH-D2000, I'm powering them with my Blue Yeti microphone output which isn't really ideal but it's much better than on-board sound.
I have being looking at reviews of various USB DAC amps but I haven't found anything that is considered much better than Fiio E10. I'm not interested in the Dragonfly because I want something that has a volume control and has it's own unit that can sit on my desk somewhere. Some of the threads about the E10 vs the Audioengine D1 seem to always prefer the E10.
Also I would prefer to stay away from portable DAC amps because if they're portable and able to run off batteries it would seem to me that they're forfeiting quality for portability. I would prefer something that has maximum quality for the price.
Just some other things;
I would like some type of bass boost, the Denons have amazing bass and I really would like to take advantage of that.
Budget is ~$100
TLDR: I need a DAC amp for ~$100 that has volume control. I can get E10 for $124, should I get that or should I buy something else?
Thank you
