Decided to go for the FiiO E10, after goign througha ton of forums and review sites, I know I'll be missing out on the surround sound, but overall sound quaity I think is more impotant to me at the moment.
PS, my beast is built and I should be getting it any day now... exciting... and it's Christmas... and I have my early access to SWTOR all sorted, just in time.:rockon:
