FiiO E10K is a small and nice USB DAC (96KHz/24Bit) + headphone amp I bought to replace my aging E10.
E10 vs E10K compared by FiiO.
Tested and found to be working fine with:
- Debian 8 (Jessie)
- Ubuntu 14.04
Also Note: The general recommendation for a USB DAC is to set the master volume to 0 dBFS (100%) in order to get the full 16 or 24 bit digital resolution (i.e. accurate bit stream).
