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.
