## Questions & Answers

**Q: so you plug this in any usb port and voila?, how do you eq?**
A: If you are on a Windows machine, you'll want to download foobar2000 to use as your dedicated music player. There are many forums online which go into great detail on how to set up foobar2000 as it does appear to be quite complicated at first glance so I won't bore you with any of the specifics here; but once you get the hang of things it does get a bit easier to understand and follow the UI and the possibilities you have with foobar2000. You just have to do your research; Amazon is not the best place for this sort of thing if you ask me. I personally prefer ASIO over WASAPI; FiiO has their own proprietary ASIO driver uniquely designed for the E10K which you can download the firmware for on their website. You will also have to download and install the necessary ASIO support component which is available on foobar2000's website. If you do buy this DAC/AMP and plan on using FiiO's ASIO driver like I do, be aware that you have to close out of all applications using ASIO before disconnecting the E10K, otherwise this may result in a BSOD. They explicitly state this in the owner's manual as well. Lastly, but most importantly you will want to listen to high quality audio sources (READ: Lossless audio). I prefer FLAC encoded music files, but lossless is lossless; it doesn't really matter what codec the files are in. I won't discuss bit depths or sample rates here because that's just another can of worms, but do your best to avoid listening to lossy audio files such as MP3s; you will only be doing yourself a disservice. And of course you want to have some decent headphones :) If you fancy closed back headphones, I can strongly recommend the SRH1540s by Shure. It's what I'm using at the moment. So as you can see, there's just a little more to it than just 'plugging in the E10K and voila' ;) Happy listening!

**Q: What outputs does it have? I see only one headphone out (small jack). Does it perhaps have RCA in the back?**
A: there are total three outputs in E10K1. Front: 3.5mm headphone out port - you can use volume control2. Rear- 3.5mm Line Out port - no volume control, you can use 3.5mm stereo to RCA converter cable to connect your RCA devices.3. Rear- Digital Coaxial Audio Output.

**Q: What's the Difference with the E10K & E10? I loved my E10 but it's starting to fail, so I'm looking for a new one.**
A: I have both E10 and E10K,1) E10 uses a mini USB cable, and E10K uses a micro USB cable (same as Android phone's)2) E10K uses different chips, which makes its output power bigger3) E10K's bass boost is betterIf you are satisfied with E10, I recommend you to buy the new model E10K

**Q: I want to use this for my Audio Technica M50xs. Worth it?**
A: Let the specs speak for themselves:

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You don't need to spend a lot for great sound
*by T***. on July 19, 2017*

This is a fine dac/amp. Not the greatest by any means, but for the price it gets the job done. You don't need anything expensive to get great sound. By default this dac/amp has a nice clean sound, and it gets loud enough on it's own (though the volume on the PC has an impact on this). But I'll share a little secret that some of you probably do not know about. I'll begin with saying that some people probably get bummed out if they get a dac/amp and they don't 100% enjoy it's overall sound signature, or disappointed with it's bass boost, or other EQ's that dac/amp's might come with.Now I will share with you on how to fix all of this. Simply put, get foobar2000 and Equalizer APO (both are free). Foobar2000 has it's own built in equalizer, and unlike some equalizers that are on your PC right now, it can communicate with your dac/amp through output settings. Just be sure to set up layout mode and replace one of the UI's as equalizer (it will be on the bottom of the UI list). Equalizer APO will be the real treat though, it's sound is a lot more clean when using it's equalizer, but I tend to play with both of the above mentioned software since they both have a certain something to offer. This is the for sure way to get the sound you're looking for out of your dac/amp without having to spend additional money, or having to upgrade your dac/amp.The reason why I say that Equalizer APO in particular has a cleaner sound when using it's equalizer, is because even though it's managed in Windows, it installs directly to your dac/amp and optionally any other audio source you may have on your PC (though you can only install to one source at a time without restarting your PC). It has a built-in (software) preamp that can increase your volume as well, with a total of 3 methods to increase your overall volume, which are 1.) Your PC's volume, since it has an impact on this particular dac/amp's overall volume. 2.) The physical volume knob on the dac/amp itself (4 methods if you want to include the L/H Gain switch). 3.) And of course, the preamp on Equalizer APO (that can set the dB extremely high). With that said, I must warn you that with Equalizer APO you can set not only the preamp dB rather high, but any of the 31 frequencies it has listed as well, which does not seem to have a dB limit. So please, keep the dB under 15, or 20 at the most, or you could destroy your headphones and/or dac/amp by volume overload.This is just merely to show you how you can get the most out of your sound without spending a lot, but it does not come with drawbacks. So please, use Equalizer APO with extreme caution. Foobar at least has a 20 dB limiter on it's equalizer, but doesn't sound as clean (especially when comparing to APO installed on a dedicated dac/amp), and doesn't have as many frequencies to choose from (18 vs 31). Also, a couple more things to add - APO will change the sound of EVERYTHING, not just music, or what's playing on foobar, but everything running in Windows, period (so keep that in mind).It can act a little weird if you play around with it too much and will stop adding effects or volume changes, so be sure when you set what you like that you go to file on the top left of the APO software and select 'Save as' so you can make a settings backup file, but you must know that any backup file will not be 'played' because APO is a little stubborn with file names apparently. So what I do, is I make my settings, make and save a backup file with whatever name I want (especially if you want multiple EQ presets/settings). Then save it again, except this time save it over the default config file and overwrite it. This is the only way to get it to work, especially when it doesn't want to play nice. Once everything is up and running you don't have anything to worry, it only does this if you're messing around with the frequencies and preamp for a while and seems to just bog up the software, but other than that it's terrific.I know this seems to be more of a review on software rather than the dac/amp I bought that is hardware, but I feel that more people should know about this sort of thing. You don't have to spend a lot to get a lot. But other than that, the FiiO E10K is a fine dac/amp, especially the price you pay for it and it can tolerate a lot with what I throw at it. It does get a little warm when I push it to the max (I do mean PUSH), but stays cool with it's all metal construction. I try not to push it like that often and only for a short period of testing, because well, any hardware has it's limits and you don't want to do that really. It's small and compact which makes it very portable, travel friendly, feature rich and most importantly, well built.All and all, this is a very nice dac/amp for what you pay for. Sure it's not the greatest, and there is definitely better, but for more cash. Your decision :)At least this way I have shown you a way to change the overall sound signature of pretty much ANY external dac/amp and not having to settle with it's own EQ's, or it's own sound signature. I have given you a way to change the sound how you like it, and that an external dac/amp will provide superior cleaner sound when using this method over onboard from your motherboard due to electrical interference.Thank you for baring with me. I hope this helps a lot of people.PS : For those running Windows 10, please do not use the FiiO ASIO drivers from their website, it doesn't really place nice with this particular OS. It works but you might BSOD on occasion, especially when you suddenly unplug/stop the device while it's in use i.e. listening to music etc. Just simply use whatever driver Windows automatically installs for it and it will run fine. If you have already downloaded the ASIO driver from FiiO, please delete the driver zip/rar file package. Reason being is because when Windows automatically installs a driver, it searches locally on your PC, not just online. It will automatically assume that the FiiO driver is the best driver for it, naturally. On Windows 10, this is not the case.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great starter amp for computer AND phone
*by J***L on October 9, 2018*

As a college student, getting into headphones is a pretty expensive endeavor. That being said, from forum threads, I decided that this would be one of the best amps I could get to start out. I am definitely pleased! This is an upgrade from my previous amp, the Syba SD-DAC63093. I was greatly pleased with that, if you're really looking for a budget amp.I currently use this amp to drive my Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 headphones and Audio Technica AUD ATHWS55BK and the majority of music I listen to is EDM. I never need to past 4 on the dial on low gain so it definitely has the power for these headphones. I definitely notice the increase in sound quality from the DAC compared to my previous amp and I haven't had any distortion issues in any of the ranges. The bass has a very composed (or reserved) and tight feel to it without turning on the bass boost. After turning it on, the music sounds a little warmer and colorful without muddling anything so the amount of boost it gives is right in the sweet spot, in my opinion.I read a lot of people saying that it's not a good portable amp but I haven't had any issues with that. I currently have a Galaxy S7 Edge with a pretty old battery (lasts around 4-5 hours with heavy use and a day if I'm lucky with little use). Maybe it's because I don't use the high gain function but I haven't noticed this amp sucking up large amounts of power from my phone when I'm on the go; it's been very efficient for me. If that's deterring anyone from getting this amp, I would encourage you to go for it unless you have the money for the fiio A5 which was designed with portability in mind.The only complaint I have is that the micro USB end of the power cable isn't very secure when plugged into the amp (it doesn't click in like it should) so when I use it with my computer, bumping into the amp can loosen it enough for the music to cut off instantly (cable is still in the port, it just isn't making contact). It's possible that I just got a bad cable with mine so don't buy a replacement until testing it out first! Since that's only an issue when I use it with my computer, I don't see it as a major inconvenience so this still gets 5 stars from me!TL;DRGreat sound and build quality for a low end amp. Very efficient so it should work with your phones, considering it works with mine! Only complaint is that the stock cable doesn't have a snug fit in the amp so it can cut off music if you bump into the amp too hard but placement can easily remedy this.
