About FiiO K5Pro ESS Amplifier Headphone Amps Stereo High Resolution Portable Desktop DAC
Overall Feedback:
96% positive
92% liked the solid build quality
The build quality is great and it doesn't take up a lot of room.
I highly recommend this amp for its build quality and versatility, which includes both DAC and amp.
I am satisfied with the build quality of the product, especially the precise and well-built volume dial.
87% appreciated the seamless connectivity, but 13% experienced issues
I noticed that the Topping DX3 Pro+ has more features like digital display and bluetooth connectivity as compared to this device, which costs the same price.
This device costs the same price but the Topping DX3 Pro+ has more features like digital display and bluetooth connectivity.
79% found the noise floor and hum to be minimal
The Fiio K5 Pro removed most of the electrical/background noise and brought my Blessing 2 Dusk to life with noticeable bass.
This DAC/AMP provides loud, distortion-free, and noise-free audio when using the USB source, regardless of the quality of the device I plug it into.
92% appreciated the ample power and gain
I love the 3 levels for gain as I can use low for my PC38X and medium for my 6XX, 560S and 580X headphones. I don't need high just yet because I don't have super power-hungry cans.
I am sure that the amp can power more power-hungry headphones as it powers all my headphones without any problem.
The K5 Pro's gain switch allows me to power high impedance headphones like Sennheiser HD 600 and easily play highly sensitive IEMs.
94% praised for its crystal-clear sound
The sound quality is great and the K5 Pro (ESS) Gain switch (3 steps) allows me to power high impedance low sensitivity headphone (Sennheiser HD 600) as well as easily play highly sensitive IEMs (quite a few ChiFi).
