About FiiO K5Pro ESS Amplifier Headphone Amps Stereo High Resolution Portable Desktop DAC
Overall Feedback:
96% positive
91% liked the solid build quality
I love the sound and build quality of the headphone amp.
I highly recommend this amp for its build quality and versatility, as it has both DAC+amp.
89% appreciated the seamless connectivity
The device has good input connections including line, USB, coaxial, optical, and balanced.
80% found the noise floor and hum to be minimal
The Fiio K5 Pro DAC/Amp removed electrical/background noise and added noticeable bass to my Blessing 2 Dusk IEM.
90% appreciated the portable design
This amp is lightweight and easy to use.
92% appreciated the ample power and gain
I love the 3 levels for gain because I can use low for my PC38X and medium for my 6XX, 560S and 580X. I don't need high just yet because I don't have super power-hungry cans.
The amp side of the unit provides plenty of power to my headphones.
The amp has three gain settings that are easy to cycle through for extra power.
The sound quality is great and the K5 Pro's Gain switch powers high impedance low sensitivity headphones and highly sensitive IEMs.
93% praised for its crystal-clear sound
The sound quality is great and the K5 Pro (ESS) Gain switch allows me to power high impedance low sensitivity headphone and highly sensitive IEMs.
I found that the Fiio K5 has more pronounced bass and mids compared to my previous DAC/Amp.
I never feel shortchanged while listening to classical, jazz and vocals.
I love DACs with ESS chips because they provide a warm sound with clear vocals and the sound quality is fantastic.
