    Any alternatives Fiio K7 under 200$ for Dt770Pro?

    Hi guys, I choose something for my Dt 770 Pro 80 Ohm, but for this price there doesn't seem to be much choice. At first I noticed Fiio K7, everyone praised it very much, but there were a couple of oddities. There is a delay when adjusting the volume, non-linear volume increase, as well as a...
