Hello, i am looking to invest in either a fiio e10k or an smsl m2 dac/amp and i was wondering whether i could get something else that would give me positional audio. I would like to avoid razer surround but it is an option and i am using the superlux hd 681 evo headphones. Thanks
 
by positional audio are you meaning virtual surround? if yes, then no i am not aware of any external dac which do this. a soundcard would be a better option for this and you can always use the line-out on a soundcard to an external amp (to avoid doubleamping) if the amp on the soundcard is not powerful enough.

yeah im in the same boat....i bought a o2 odac combo from mayflower hoping to improve sound quality, which it did, but im also curious as to whether a soundcard would have been or still can be a better solution for FPS positional audio?
