Timing matters a bit here, because this is an older but still perfectly serviceable desktop DAC/amp rather than a current flagship, so value is mostly about condition and price. At £32, it looks like a strong bargain versus the recent GBP used market: well below the £271 25th percentile and far under the £305 median, with plenty of room before the £365 75th percentile.
That makes it an easy buy if it’s clean and fully working, because the E10K Olympus 2 is well-liked for simple plug-and-play desktop use, solid output for everyday headphones, and a compact footprint. It’s a good fit for someone wanting a low-cost step up from onboard audio, but do make sure the USB-C connection, volume pot, and outputs are reliable, since any faults would matter more than usual if accessories are missing or the cable is flaky.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
