I really like the thing, but I returned the first one for a second one and it did the same thing, so back it went too. It really is a great unit otherwise though. I may grab another one one day and hope I get luckier next time. The first unit eventually took up to 8 presses of the power button...

I don't know if I've explained what I mean properly. I have a SMSL Sanskrit dac with RCA outs, I want to go Sanskrit > Fiio K5 line in > K5 Line out to stereo receiver. As a permanent desktop setup. No splitters or cable swapping, when I want to use the headphone amp the stereo receiver will...

Yea, but then I'd need to use rca splitters to go to the stereo and the headphone amp, so I figured the line out on the K5 would accomplish the same thing without using extra cables.

I'm interested in getting a K5 as a standalone headphone amp, to connect to a standalone DAC that I already have via the RCA line ins, then connecting the K5's RCA line out to my stereo receiver for when I want to use speakers. I'm curious, in this configuration, does the RCA line out function...

Forgive the necro-bump. I just got one of these and I'm curious if anyone else's unit requires the power button to be pressed twice before it will turn on. One press makes the LED ring flash briefly, the second press turns the unit on normally.

So, I have an issue with my DAC-X6. I'm curious if its just my unit. When using the headphone amp while also having the RCA line outs connected to a stereo receiver (powered off) there is static on the headphone amp. Disconnecting the line outs from the receiver solves the problem. Strangely...

Hey, so thanks to your reply, I tore the box back open and hooked the x6 back up, only for it to sound perfect... The plot thickens. I did some more troubleshooting and I ended up hooking everything back up like I had it before. Turns out, Its not clipping, Its just static. It's only...

I bought an X6 from Amazon, and after playing with a for a few days I think mine has a problem. I've noticed it seems to be clipping when using the headphone amp. In foobar, I can play a loud section of a song (or just a loudly mixed song) and I hear distortion in the low end, but reducing...
