Against recent used comps, US$50 is a strong bargain for this little Fiio; it sits well below the US$368 25th percentile and far under the US$414 median. For a desktop starter amp/DAC, that makes it an easy value play rather than a price to haggle over.
The E10K Olympus 2 is popular because it’s compact, straightforward, and does exactly what many headphone users need: clean USB DAC output plus a practical amp stage for efficient to moderately demanding cans. At US$50, a working unit is especially appealing if it includes the proper USB cable and is cleanly presented; just confirm it powers up, outputs on both channels, and the volume pot is smooth.

Fiio, founded in 2007 in Guangzhou, China, emerged as a specialist in portable audio gear, initially crafting components like speakers for brands such as Meizu before launching its own lineup. The name blends "Fi" from hi-fi fidelity with "iO" symbolizing digital one's and zeros, evoking authentic sound and modern convenience, while its Chinese rendering "飞傲" conveys innovative vitality. From modest beginnings, the company expanded into a 15,000-square-meter industrial complex by 2022, solidifying its role as a prolific developer of music-centric electronics.
The brand excels across a broad spectrum of portable and desktop audio categories, with flagship strengths in high-resolution digital audio players (DAPs), USB DACs, portable headphone amplifiers, and in-ear monitors. Its portfolio also encompasses cables, desktop amps, and select speakers, prioritizing versatile, high-performance solutions for on-the-go and home listening without venturing into turntables or large-scale hi-fi systems.
Fiio occupies a commanding mid-tier position in the global audiophile market, renowned for delivering premium sound quality at accessible prices that punch above their weight. Praised by enthusiasts for reliability and value, it appeals to discerning buyers seeking refined portable setups over luxury excess, backed by worldwide distribution and a track record of user-acclaimed innovations.
