Again, just want to thank FiiO for theE10 sample. Note, this is a pre-release E10 sample that has the same hardware as the final version, but the packaging might be slightly different.

FiiO sure is fast this year with one release after another. This time it is the E10, an USB DAC with a headphone amp. Here are a few things that need to be clarify before we go into the actual impression:

再一次感谢飞傲的E10样品。这个样品和最终版E10硬件是一样的，只是包装可能有点不一样。飞傲的发展速度很快，不断有新产品上市，这次是E10新品上市。在说对E10的第一印象前，还有些事有弄清楚。

First, E10, like E9, is not designed to be portable as there is no battery inside. At most, it is transportable. For those who own a NuForce uDAC before, E10 belongs to the same class of product. You should think of it as a high quality external soundcard dedicated to drive headphone (though it can be connected to powered speaker as well via its line-out socket).

第一， E10就像E9一样不是专门的便携式耳放，因为内部没有电池,顶多可以算是可便携式的。E10和NuForce uDAC是属于同一级别的产品。E10可以算是一款专用于驱动耳机的高质量的外置声卡（虽然E10也可以用线路输出接口来连接有源音箱）。

Second, E10 is a pure USB DAC that has a headphone amp section. It has no line-in so you can’t connect it to your DAP. USB is all it takes so you should use it with PC, well, perhaps some other devices that has an USB host function as well. If you have no idea what is a USB host function, don’t worry – just understand E10 is supposed to be used with PC and you will be fine

第二， E10是一款带耳机放大电路的USB解码器。因为没有线路输入接口所以无法连接到你的DAP，而只能用USB连接到你的电脑。当然也可以用于支持USB主机功能的设备。如果你不知道什么是支持USB主机功能的没关系，只要你知道E10是用于连接电脑使用的就行了。

Build Quality and Accessories

Build quality is already pretty solid on FiiO, E10 is no exception. The surprising part is the size of E10. It is barely bigger than a Nuforce uDAC and even smaller than E11 in footprint (though thicker). In fact, it comes in a metal tin case that resembles the one from E11 and you won’t have guessed it can fit the whole E10 inside, plus an USB cable and some rubber foot sticker.

质量及配件

飞傲产品的做工一直都很好，E10当然也不例外了。令我更加惊奇的是E10的外观尺寸，它刚好比Nuforce uDAC大一点点，甚至长宽也比E11小点（除了厚一些外）。E10的金属包装盒子和E11的一样，你不会想到的是这么小一个盒子居然可以装下整个E10，一根USB线及一些橡胶垫。

On the front, you will find the 3.5mm stereo headphone socket, a hardware bass boost switch and the volume pot with a blue indicator LED next to it. The volume pot is mounted semi-recessive into the face plate (which, to take a small credit, is part of my suggestion to FiiO during prototyping). On the back, there are the USB input, coax output and the 3.5mm stereo line-out. On the belly of E10 is a small gain switch for high and low gain selection. According the RMAA, the difference between the two gains is roughly 7dB.

在E10的前面板，有一个3.5毫米的立体声耳机插座，低音增强开关和带蓝色LED指示灯的音量旋钮。它的电位器旋钮有一半是隐藏在面板里面的（这也是我在飞傲设计原型机时给他们的一个建议）。在后板有USB接口，同轴输出接口和3.5毫米线路输出接口。在E10的底部有一个很小的高低增益开关选择，根据RMAA测试结果，高增益和低增益之间有7dB的差别。

Hissing and imbalance

Using a Shure SE530 (which is quite hiss prone), no hiss is detected on low gain at max volume. Some fainted hiss is detected on high gain when volume is over 2/3 of the pot (that’s about 5 / 8 on the dial) when no music is playing. But since it is impossible to use a high sensitivity IEM like the SE530 over 1.5 / 8 on the dial when music is playing (which is crazily loud), hissing can be considered as none existence in practice.

No obvious imbalance is detected on either high or low gain during normal / low listening using the SE530, which is quite good to say the least.

底噪和偏音

用Shure SE530耳机来进行测试的话，在低增益模式下，音量开到最大也听不到底噪。但如果是在高增益模式且无音乐播放的情况下，若把音量调至超过整个音量旋钮的2/3位置时，还是可以听到轻微的的底噪。但是一般在欣赏音乐时，如果用SE530这种高灵敏度耳机，我们一般是不会把音量调至到超过音量旋钮刻度的1.5/8，所以在实际使用中底噪几乎不存在。

使用SE530时，无论是在高增益或低增益情况下试听，都没有发现明显的偏音现象，这是相当不错的。

Gain and Efficiency

As mentioned, the low and high gain is about 7dB apart as indicated by RMAA. In real life, the volume pot can hardly go pass 3 / 8 even with 150 ohm IEM (i.e. RE262) in low gain. On high gain, HifiMan HE300 (50ohm / 93dB) is already rocking out real loud on 4 / 8. There simply isn’t one headphone in my collection that can push the volume pot over half of what it is capable.

增益和效率

如前文所提，根据RMAA测试结果，高低增益模式的增益差有7dB。但在实际使用中，就算使用阻抗高达150欧姆的入耳耳塞如HiFi Man的RE262，在低增益情况下音量旋钮的刻度一般也不会调至超过3/8。如果是高增益情况下，像HifiMan HE300耳机(50ohm/93dB)，也只需要把音量调到4/8刻度就已经足够震撼的了。实际上，我所拥有的耳机中，没有一个需要把音量调整到音量刻度的一般以上。

Sound Quality and EQ

Let talk about EQ first, as it is the simplest and required no comparison. If you take a look at the FR curve, you will know the bass boost is only around 3dB and 500Hz down. It should be the same bass boost circuit design for most of other FiiO’s product. As far as bass is concerned, the boosting is really mild. If you are using balanced armature IEM, the bass boost will sound more significant. For full sized and dynamic based IEM, it sounds more like an added layer of warmth in the bottom end rather than chest pounding rumble

音质和均衡

首先说说EQ吧，EQ是最简单且必不可少的构成部分。如果你看看频响曲线，就会发现低音提升的幅度大约是3dB并且在500Hz左右结束。这个低音提升电路的设计和飞傲大部分产品的设计应该是一样的。就低音提升的幅度比较温和。但是如果你使用平衡动铁入耳耳塞，那么低音增强的效果还是很明显的。而对于大尺寸和大动态的入耳耳塞来说，低音提升更多的是让声底更加温暖而不是可以感觉到拳拳入肉的低音。

Now let compares the line-out between E10, uDAC, E7, and the new iBasso D-zero all feeding into Meier Audio’s Corda 3MOVE, driving a pair of HifiMan RE262. First thing to note is that E10, E7 and D-zero all use the same structure of DAC section – that is combing the well received Wolfson WM8740 DAC with a USB receiver chip. In the case of E7 and D-zero, the USB chip is TI PCM270x series that only supports sampling rate up to 16bit / 48kHz. E10 uses the Tenor TE7022L USB chip that gives it a higher sampling rate at 24bit / 96kHz. The original uDAC that I current have user an ESS Sabre DAC but only supports up to 16bit / 48kHz as well (though the uDAC2 supports up to 24bit / 96kHz like E10). As far as bitrate and sampling rate are concerned, you shouldn’t really need to worry if you are just a regular, average user. They are more for future compatibility as most commercial music is still encoded using the 16bit / 44.1kHz standard.

现在我们来对比E10，uDAC,E7，以及iBasso新款 D-zero，我们把四者的线路输出都介入MEIER AUDIO的CORDA 3 MOVE耳放，并用来驱动一对 HIFIMAN的RE272耳塞。首先可以肯定的是他们的DAC部分都是相同的，都是用Wolfson WM8740 连接USB接收芯片。但是E7和D-zero使用的USB接收芯片是TI的 PCM270x系列，最高只支持16BIT/48K。而E10的USB接收芯片用的是Tenor TE7022L USB芯片，这个可以支持到24BIT/48K的音频格式格式。我现在拥有的最早版本的uDAC使用了ESS SABRE DAC芯片但是只支持最高16BIT/48K的采样频率（但是uDAC2 可以和E10一样支持24BIT/96K）。就比特率和采样频率而言，如果你只是一个普通的用户，你就不需要担心这个问题。因为高取样率格式只是对未来的音乐格式兼容性更好而已，目前大部分的商业音乐格式还是采用的16BIT/44.1KHZ的标准。

Out of the four, E10’s line-out sounds the best, followed by D-zero, uDAC, and E7 in the last place. While D-zero and uDAC’s line-out both have wider soundstage than E10, they both lacks texture in the mid and low -especially on uDAC as it is also the brightest among the four. E7 on the other hand sounds more compressed and warm when compared to the other three. While E10 soundstage is only bigger than E7 among the four, it has much better layer and p_w_picpath so it doesn’t sound compressed when compared to the wider sounding uDAC and D-zero.

在4个中间，E10的线路输出的声音最好，其次是D-ZERO, uDAC，E7排在最后。但是D-zero 和uDAC线路输出的声场都比E10更宽，但是中低频都缺乏质感。特别是uDAC的音色是4个中间最明亮的。另一方面，E7的声音听起来略微压缩但是更温暖一些。E10的声场只是比E7宽一些，但是声音层次感和声像定位更好。所以即使和声场更宽的uDAC和D-zero比起来也没有任何压缩感。

For mainly a desktop solution, how does E10’s headphone-out compared to uDAC’s, FiiO’s own E7+E9 combo and 躡er Muzik Tiny Tube DAC when driving RE262?

作为主要用于桌面使用用途时，E10的耳机输出声音和uDAC，飞傲自己的E7+E9组合，躡er Muzik 的Tiny Tube DAC，在驱动RE262时又有什么不同呢？

First, uDAC’s headphone-out really benefits from its wider soundstage and so it does sound more open than E10. It also has better bass control with a harder hit. But the upper treble, especially a lot of the sparkle are missing from uDAC. A look at the RMAA result reveals that there is a rather shape roll off on uDAC when it goes over 16~17kHz. Though uDAC headphone-out is decent on its own, a quick A/Bing instantly reveals that E10 is noticeably more detail. While it might have a softer bass hit and not quite-as-wide a soundstage (but by no mean bad itself), I still prefer E10 as it is more balance overall.

首先，uDAC的耳机输出的确得益于他宽广的声场，和E10比起来声音更加开阔，低音的力度更强，控制力更好。但是高音部分，特别是让声音的显得更辉煌的部分在uDAC上缺失了。可以从RMAA测试结果看到，uDAC在频率超过16-17KHZ时曲线开始下降。虽然uDAC的耳机输出的音质还算不错，但是在E10和uDAC之间的快速A/C对比听音表明E10的细节明显胜出。同时E10的低音略微柔和声场也略窄（对E10而言并不算是一个缺点）。总体来说，我还是更喜欢各方面都更均衡一些的E10。

Second, E7+E9 combo is actually quite close in performance to E10 when driving RE262. While E10 sounds a little more spacious, crisp on the top and better texture on the mid, E7+E9 has tighter bass and really smooth presentation. But the difference is small enough not to say which has a distinct advantage over the other, at least not when they are driving RE262. The real eye opener is feeding E10’s lineout to E9 – the result is clearly better than E7+E9 or E10 by itself. It is spacious, texture and powerful. That being said, it is obvious E7 is a slightly lesser DAC than E10 while E10’s amp section doesn’t quite have the control and power of E9.

其次，在驱动RE262时，E7+E9组合和E10性能几乎差不多。E10听起来更开阔清脆，中频更富有质感。E7和E9组合低音更紧凑且圆润。但是至少在驱动RE262时，声音的差异并不足以证明哪一个较另一个明显胜出。但是令人惊奇的是，当把E10的线路输出接到E9上时，结果很清楚，声音明显要比E7+E9或者E10自身的耳机输出要好。声音的空间感强，质感好，力度强劲。也就是说，很显然E7的解码没有没有E10的解码部分好，但E10的功放部分的控制力和功率不及E9的好。

Third, Tiny Tube DAC is based on the same TPA6120 found on E9’s amp section, so it too has quite a lot of power behinds it. The interesting bit about the Tiny Tube DAC is that it doesn’t really sound like a tube gear. It is rather clean, bright and highly detail, certainly the most detail sounding among the four and opposite to the classic FiiO warm sound. As far as detail and soundstage are concerned, Tiny Tube DAC is definitely ahead. But it is also less texture and pickier on synergy. Overall I’ll still prefer Tiny Tube DAC just a little over E7+E9 and E10, but the same can’t be said when E9 is pairing with E10. Do note than both E9 and Tiny Tube DAC has rather high output impedance so low impedance IEM (especially BA based IEM) might sound more accurate / linear on the E10.

第三，Tiny Tube DAC和E9的耳放电路一样都是用TPA6120，他们功率都很大。关于tiny tube dac很有意思的一点是它听起来一点都不像是胆机。它的声音相当的干净，明亮，解析力高。在四者中，它的解析力最高，反之飞傲的音色是一贯的温暖。对于解析力和声场而言，Tiny Tube DAC 绝对是胜者，但它的声音在质感和平衡度上略差。总体来说，相对E7+E9和E10，我更喜欢Tiny Tube DAC一点点。但是这不适合于E9和E10的组合。一定要记住不管是E9还是Tiny Tube DAC都有相当高的输出阻抗，所以低阻抗的入耳耳塞（特别是平衡动铁入耳耳塞）在E10上听起来会更精确，也更线性。

Since E10 uses the same opamp (AD8397) as E11, how does they compare? I feed the line-out from E10 to E11 and A/B'ed them. E10's headphone-out is noticebly brighter and cripier than E11, but not quite as hard hitting on the bass. Overall, the sound signature of the two are similar even though E10 amp circuit is not the three channels design as in E11. Synergy wise, E10 should be easier than E11 on pairing since it is niether particularly bright or dark.

既然E10和E11都是用同一种opmap(AD8397),那两者之间有什么差别呢？我把线路输出从E10接入E11，然后进行A/B测试，结果发现E10耳机输出的声音明显更明亮，但是低音的力度没有那么强。总体上，尽管E10耳放电路不像E11那样是三通道设计的，但是两者的声音特征还是有多相似之处，。相比而言，由于E10的音色即不算很明亮也不算很暗，所以E10更容易搭配耳机。

Conclusion

As far as an $80 USB DAC goes, E10 is a killer. The $99 uDAC (which I thought to be quite good a year ago) isn’t much of a competition. My recently acquired $109 D-zero from iBasso is able to keep up on the DAC performance, but lose out on the amp section (of course not quite a fair comparison since D-zero is meant to be portable). Though E7 is little more expensive, it really can’t compete with E10 besides portability. While I don’t think E10 can really beat out DAC that is twice its price, what it does is still very admirable – to say the least. All and all, E10 is a well rounded small USB DAC with a good bang for the bucks factor

结论

对于一个价格80美金左右的USB DAC来说，E10绝对是个“杀手”，就算是一年前我认为很不错的99$uDAC也不是E10的竞争对手了。我最近得到的109$的iBasso D-zero的DAC性能不错，但是在耳放部分就有点不足了（当然，考虑到D-zero是便携的，所以这个对比也有一点不公平）。在说说E7吧，价格虽然比E10贵但除了便携性外其它方面还是不如E10的。尽管我也不认为E10可以真的完全胜过价格是它两倍的DAC,但是结果仍然是令人非常钦佩的。总而言之，E10是一款货真价实的多功能USB DAC.
