" ... Once you use headphones with a headphone amplifier, you will never go back to hearing music without it. ... Excellent for watching movies, you don't miss out on the tiniest sound. ... "

" ... There is a huge improvement in your listening experience with this amp. ... You will listen to all the instruments that you had missed before. ... It just blows your mind with it's crystal clear output. ... I am very satisfied with this product and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys listening to music. ... "

" ... I'm usually very skeptical about audiophile products, so I looked at the E10K's bill of materials, and I would say it's fairly reasonable to charge 5k for a DAC + Amplifier + USB interface, given that they use TI's PCM5102. ... "

" ... As my laptop's soundcard was pretty good and my earphones aren't very high impedance, the difference in sound quality was not remarkably different, but your mileage in that depends on the rest of your gear or the DAC/AMP you're upgrading from. ... "

" ... The former had a pretty well regarded DAC chip embedded into it so I was not expecting a huge audio quality boost. ... I must admit that I was quite wrong with that assessment, and that this amp totally changed my audio listening experience. ... I am using this with Bayerdynamics DT 770 250 ohm cans and they sound simply amazing when plugged in to this. ... The sound just gets lifted up, and gets that much more clearer. ... "

" ... Though the sound was better than anything I had heard before, I was a little disappointed with its clarity at low frequencies. ... However, I had noted many reviews claiming that being 50 Ohm impedance headphones, they perform best with a good DAC-Amplifier. ... Unless you experience the effect, it is hard to explain what a world of difference it makes to the sound! ... The music from the headphones sounded simply sublime. ... "

" ... Its loud and clear and bass boost actually works good enough. ... "

" ... This Was not just a perfect replacement, It sounds much better. ... I use Audio-Technica M70x through this DAC, and they sound just like they do when Plugged into my Professional Audio Interface(PreSonus Firebox) ... Low - for Low Impedence Headphones(this provides good enough power for my 18-Ohms M70x) ... One for the Amp Controlled Headphone Out, and a Line Level Output at the back to connect to another Speaker System. ... I connected my headphones to the Line Out and Though it has not volume control, It sounded Loud enough for easy listening. ... This is a great sounding DAC, and being a 24bit/96k . ... "
