Headphone GuruREVISED VERSION OF A CLASSIC, NOW WITH AN ADVANCED DAC AND LOWER FLOOR NOISE
One of the notable developments in the FiiO E10K is its all-new PCM5102 chip. This chip brings about significant improvements in the functionality of the E10K like, reduced delays and improved audio quality without any phase shift. Even when you are changing tracks you can experience low silence intervals. Equipped with a low-pass filter and bass boost circuits, the E10K has the lowest noise floor under all conditions. It has a output power of 200mW @32Ω and a USB decoding sample rate of 24 bit / 96kHz.
IMPROVED AMPLIFICATION STAGE AND A HIGHLY DURABLE & PORTABLE DESIGN
Installed with a brand new LMH8643 amplification op amp, the FiiO E10K now has a buffer design that takes care of the transient response and the driving power. This headphone amplifier is compact, portable and durable than ever before, thanks to its brushed aluminium shell and chassis. It comes with a Micro USB/Type-C input, coaxial output and a 3.5 mm stereo Jack headphone output. It also has an ALPS Potentiometer volume control to take easy control over the volume, gain settings and a bass boost.
E10K-TC FEATURING XMOS CHIP AND TYPE-C CONNECTOR
Keeping up with the times, the E10K-TC comes embedded with the flagship XMOS XUF208 chip for more efficient USB decoding. This, compared to the E10K is a substantial upgrade and is further enhanced by USB Audio Class 2.0 and PCM format supports up to 32bit/384kHz sampling rates for detailed audio. The E10K-TC has been equipped with a USB Type-C connection to allow compatibility with various modern devices and at the same time, the headphone/line/coaxial (up to 24 bit/192kHz) outputs make it easier to connect to other pieces of equipment. These additions are truly thoughtful and truly keeping in tune with technological advancements.

Customer Reviews
Bought the E10K based on lot of good youtube reviews. But to be very honest to myself, did not notice any great improvement in sound quality or clarity in My ATH M50X or KZ ZSN Pro X or Creative Pebble Plus 2.1 (speaker) when playing from my HP Pavilion15 laptop or Desktop PC (Aorus X570 PRO Motherboard). Slight changes in sound signature is observed and loudness of individual instruments is more pronounced at higher sound volume output level E10K but in my opinion these can be lived without in my opinion. Only the bare headphone/IEMs with laptop/desktop is more hasslefree way of listening to music in my opinion. Considering the Price to performance difference as observed, buying the dedicated amp/dac was not worth the money in my opinion.
Hey Subhajit, Thanks for taking time and sharing your honest feedback with us, we really appreciate it!
Decent DAC (24bit/96kHz), pretty powerful AMP(200 MW), solid aluminium housing, Bass boost works great and gives tight, thumpy bass but all of this depends on the max input power and sensitivity of the equipment connected to the AMP.
Coaxial out works fantabulous with great power and gives clean, distortion free sound when connected to Home Theater and Powered speakers.
Compared to other headphone DACs this one has a bit of warmth to it.
Overall an exceptional device with great capabilities.
Hey, we're so happy to see this positive review! Thanks for sharing it with everyone.
Amazing performance direct from PC using USB-C. Super clear and levels are very good, lows, mids and high too. But line in sound too muffled, with lots of disturbance.. probably bad 3.5mm aux cable. Any advice laptop to DAC through Line out would be appreciated.. Thanks. Ordering from headphonezone.com was simple and straight forward, with very good discounts. I received my item perfect, in good condition and would always recommend buying here.
For the price build quality is great. But there is no feel to the sound. It sounds sterile. Switching to bass did improves a bit but it's too clean for my ears to hate. Benchmark with HD599 and kz zsn pro x. Even with some tuning there wasn't much difference with this DAC. Volume levels are great. Low/high gain switch useful for different headphones with different impedances. Small, compact, portable with USB C input interface which is great. Until and unless you are having very bad integrated DAC, you will feel noticeable audio quality with this product.
For the size of this device, it delivers a lot of power. Maybe not enough for planars, but enough for most of the headphones out there.
Hey Siddharth,
We are glad you had a comfortable shopping experience with us & it is delightful to read such positive reviews on your product! Cheers & Welcome to the club!
This is my first Headphone DAC/Amplifier purchase. I already own Audio-Technica ATH-M20x headphones(Also bought from Headphone Zone, working like a charm even after three years).
This gadget is a game-changer for me because I thought owning professional headphones would be sufficient, but I understood that without the required power to drive these headphones and a proper digital-to-analog conversion they are not efficient. Super fast delivery from Headphone Zone! Thank you.
PROS:
A straightforward plug-and-play device, hassle-free installation, and usage.
Does the job beyond expectations.
Budget.
It actually gave my M20x a new life.
CONS:
None.
Hey Kathiravan,
Super delighted to hear that you are loving your purchase & thanks for your feedback. Cheers!
I don't know why this product is listed under portable amps and dacs. It's a desktop DAC/AMP combo. Have bought it twice (stopped working after multiple drops after 2 years) and it was enough to power 80 Ohm Beyerdynamic DT 770. Sound quality was a great improvement over my onboard sound output. I won't recommend it if your headphone's impedance is more than 80 Ohm.
If your budget is less than 8k, get this one; you won't regret buying it.
Hey Sulabh, thanks for sharing this lovely feedback! Glad to hear that you love this product! :)
