Just wanna add something on this;
In terms of DH quality? No difference. If anyone just wants cheap DH, getting the U3 makes sense.
But the amp on the Xonar U3 is just...
I know, considering the price... there's not much to expect. The cheapest solution is to get a FiiO D03k (RM100+) and use the amp+DAC from it instead, this would give a much needed boost to SQ where as also still benefiting from DH. The U3 just needs to connect to the D03k via optical out and everything is bypassed onto the D03k. Skipping out on the very noisy U3's amp but benifitting from the much cleaner D03k.
Haha I know the amp on the u3 sucks big time. I connect it to fiio e12 before I connect to my akg q701 lol. Just wanna add something on this;

Added: however, I can't use the optical out to e12
