Ello guys, newbie here trying to find good match of DAC and AMP for better music experiences.

Well, here's the list:
Source : Laptop

Equipment : Creative SB 5.1 External + IEM (Brainwavz M4), for headphone, let's just say I'm not really using any now.

Requirement : For Musics, Highly prefer clear and detail vocal as I listen mostly to pop or slow songs. Perhaps, musical too.

Budget : RM200-400

What I had in mind now, is buying a DAC (T-muso OScon) and currently finding one AMP to pair up with. What you guys think, should I get the DAC? or There's other DAC/AMP that suits my musical preferences.

Thanks.

Erm, it's FiiO E10 USB DAC Headphone Amplifier, it's already DAC + AMP or AMP only?
Really new here.

DAC (24bit/192kHz) / Amp

compare this and ibasso dzero, which is good with my beginner beyer dt 231 pro headphone? how much is this?

thanks.

d-zero is for portable use, in fact, i still prefer E10, just my preference and taste 

Looking for DAC for living room.. 

Source : CD Player
Equipment : Want to connect the DAC to NAD amplifier..
Requirement : Must have optical input (USB also if can) , RCA output, can be bought around KL..
Budget : Around RM800

Saw the Maverick D1 but dunno where to buy  Jaben don't have stock for them now 

Thanks in advance.. 

You mean your CD player outputs via USB 

no.. USB is just in case i want to connect my laptop instead of CD player..

Confused 

So your source should state PC instead of CD player unless you are using the digital out from it 

No.. I want to place the DAC in the living room for my dad to use with his cd player which only has coaxial and optical output.. so, i'm looking for a DAC which has coaxial input.. If the DAC has a Coaxial input, that would be enough.. What i meant was, if there is also a USB input, that would be a bonus for me as i can connect my laptop too if i wanted.. Hmm, hope this is understandable.. 

Without USB input, FiiO D3, straight forward digital in analog out 



With USB option, the FiiO Aplen E17 with L7  You will need a 3.5mm mini jack stereo (TRS) to RCA cable. 

How's the performance of the Fiio D3 compared to those RM800-RM1000 ones?

For 192KHz/24bit support at that ridiculous price, it is worth the shot   

hey bro, fiio portable amp only has e7, e5, e6 and e11？

For 192KHz/24bit support at that ridiculous price, it is worth the shot   

Any other DAC better than the D3? Willing to pay high now (around RM800) because might not upgrade in the future..

tiny tube dac buy from hongrui, dac+tube amp

Hi all, need recommendations for 2.1 channel USB sound card:

Source : Laptop & iPhone
Equipment : Sound Card for laptop
Requirement : Mainly for music and sometimes movie watching...
Budget : RM200-400

PS: currently using Asus Xonar U2, looking for an upgrade since U2 is no longer selling in the market?

Thanks in advance

I believe this is not the right place for USB soundcard?

FiiO E7 or E17 

PC > USB > E7/E17 > Speakers
iPhone > L3 (LOD) > E7/E17 > Speakers
