Can anyone compare this to the FiiO E17K? Going to be pairing it with the K7XX's and a Fiio X3 2nd gen. Would like to be able to use with my laptop as well.

markhashI used to have the E17K but didn't like it. FiiO amps tends to be a bit harsh and that doesn't pair well with my HD600. I'm currently using the HD600 with ODAC and O2 Amp I got from JDS labs a year back and they go very well together. Got the DACport slim last Saturday and from my limited time with it (as it would always crash my computer after around ten minutes of listening, driver problems, windows10 64 bit) It does sound satisfying. I will need more time with it but from what I can discern, the bass seemed to hit a little better with slightly more impact, the mids have a slight brassiness that I quite like. I imagine the K7xx sound signature to be rather similar to the HD600. (as the 701 that I have was slightly brighter and the 7xx has a boosted bass)

piriya33Thanks for sharing. If you can, I'd appreciate your thoughts on when you go ODAC+O2 vs Slim+O2? Can you hear any differences if you use your Slim as the DAC feeding the O2?
*Max out the Slim on low-gain to configure it for line-out.*
