FiiO K3 DAC / Headphone Amplifier

It shouldn't come as much of a surprise to hear that the new Fiio K3 headphone amp is nothing short of amazing, especially at its $200 price point. It's earlier iteration the E10K is still a very popular DAC on the market but the K3 makes vast improvement on it still. 

A new design means the exterior has a more stylish finish but more importantly the internal architecture has changed to minimise any potential noise. Now sporting a AKM AK4452 DAC chip and other features such as a line out and driver-less mode, the K3 may just be the best portable DAC amp available for value.
