DESCRIPTION
UPGRADED WITH AN HIGH QUALITY ADVANCED DAC CHIP AND USB TYPE-C CONNECTIVITY
One of the notable developments in the FiiO E10K-TC is its PCM5102 DAC chip. This chip brings about significant improvements in the functionality of the E10K-TC and improved audio quality without any phase shift or delays. The PCM5102 DAC can handle PCM files up to 32-bit/384kHz, or outputting 192 kHz over coaxial S/PDIF while improving audio quality via a linear internal filter; this also reduces delay, improves internal silence on changing tracks and induces no phase shifts. Now you can connect the E10K-TC to your laptop via its USB Type-C connection, which also provides it with power and offers a better interface with modern devices.




FEATURING AN UPDATED AMPLIFICATION STAGE, BASS BOOST CIRCUIT AND XMOS CHIP
FiiO E10K-TC now comes embedded with an LMH6643 OP-Amp that elevates its driving power exponentially. The FiiO E10K-TC offers an output power of 200mW @32Ω and a USB decoding sample rate of 24 bit / 96kHz with enhanced transient response. Keeping up with the times, the E10K-TC comes embedded with the flagship XMOS XUF208 chip for more efficient USB decoding. This offers USB Audio Class 2.0 and supports up to 32bit/384kHz playback. The E10K-TC is also equipped with a Dual Gain setting that has an optimised low-pass filter along with a selectable Bass Boost circuit that delivers a low noise floor. Taking control of the volume is easy with the volume control knob that offers precise increments or decrements in volume and you can enable the Bass Boost Circuit via the button on the front panel.




HIGHLY DURABLE AND PORTABLE DESIGN WITH A VARIETY OF CONNECTIVITY OPTIONS
The FiiO E10K-TC is compact, portable and more durable than ever before, thanks to its brushed aluminium shell and chassis that allow for portable operation without worry. The E10K-TC connects to your laptop via its USB Type-C connection and offers a variety of connectivity options, including a front-panel 3.5mm headphone jack, a rear-panel 3.5mm line output, and a rear-panel RCA coaxial digital output, which allows you to send your digital audio to another destination. The connectivity options make it easier to connect to other pieces of equipment. These additions are thoughtful and keep in tune with technological advancements.
