Hi folks

I want to buy a Dac for my Douk U3 so tired to use a dongle and I'm willing to spend under 100.

I'm looking into these two.. I know that the d10s have usb bridge to another dac/amp and display but at the same time I really want to try the AKM chip in the DX1.
Which one you would choose ? Musically I don't think i'm going to hear a big difference.

D10S is a DAC, DX1 is a DAC/HPA combo. Do you need a HPA?

thanks @IAtaman I've ordered the last D10s that I've seen on Amazon DE.. I already got some DAC/HPA combo and and 2 or 3 chi amp so im ok for that. But the fact that I can feed my others dac/amp that accept only optical or coax was the best option for me. But ... I really would love to hear the capabilities of the dx1 akm chip but I don't things I'm going to hear a sonic difference between my NE5534, ol 1793 burr, others TI and my DIY amps.
