Reply to comment by AetherLionn in Amp/DAC with HD6xx's by AetherLionn

Yes it's a combo unit as is the K7. There's nothing inherently better about having standalone units aside from being able to upgrade the amp separately from the DAC which you may eventually want to do.

Awesome, thank you so much. I might go with a combo unit as I'm sure it's more beginner friendly.

I tend to wait well past the due date for upgrades anyway, so it might be cheaper on me too. I see Schitt also has combo units like the full. Is it as good, or is this one of those "pick a price that works from a reputable company" things?

Take your pick. Both will work. They're good starting off points which I think is what you're looking for. There's like 20 good starter amp/DACs either in the form of combos or all in one units. Personally I'd only pick the Fulla if I wanted to use a headset with a mic on it.

Ok, ill look into the e10k or k7 and learn a bit more about combo units. My mic is standalone so not a lot of use there.

Thank you again!!

K7 is easily the best amp/DAC combo sub $300 out right now, Schiit doesn't come close

Yeah I've been using a pretty basic Fiio amp/DAC for years. It's good. Good build quality. I've always been interested in Schiit's products because they look great an are a US based company. But would I discern a difference? Probably not.
