[QUOTE="Doge, post: 1111077, member: 15439"] No idea about the E30, sounds like some uniformed 2nd hand opinion TBH. I can tell you the DAC o n the DX3 Pro is very good (the AKM version)*, BUT the problem with it is that the headphone out sounds thin and BAD on high gain, so the benefits of having an external power supply are basically negated. * not sure if they're still using AKM chips since the fire, but that's the one you want, not that implementations with other chips are bad per se, but on at least one occasion I've seen a product replace the AKM chip with an ESS one and the resulting sound went from pretty good to quite bad. EDIT: looks like the new implementations use an ESS chip so I have no idea what the DX3 Pro sounds like now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [/QUOTE]
