Headphone Amps -- FiiO

[NebM]

Hi,

I have been using a FiiO E7 with Audio-Technica ATH-M50, line-out from Ipod or direct USB. It has been really good to me, but naturally the bug bites...

So there is the new E10K Olympus 2, was wondering if anyone has an opinion on the chips used? This is a $75 amplifier

The all new Fiio E10K Olympus 2 headphone amp and USB DAC combo unit.  Based on the previous Fiio E10, the new version adds an improved DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) and headphone amplifier circuitry.  The new DAC chip, the PCM5102, provides better linearity in the digital filter which reduces overall delay in the audio.  The headphone amp stage is now being driven by the LMH6643 that provides more power and better transient response.  Another bonus is the lowered noise floor from the improved low-pass bass boost filter switch.
