I can't decide between S5 and K9, both have good feedbacks
K9 is sold 89 RMB
S5 is sold 169 RMB
I think K9 is overpriced on aliexpress atm

I think sound quality should be very similar since they're using the same chip. So its down between dedicated volume buttons and touch screen of the S5 vs speaker and colour screen of the K9. I went with the K9 since I prefer the design and the heft (heavier so would feel less "cheap") .

A little ticked off after finding out the price on taobao (my K9 is still on the way from penon aliexpress store) but I suppose it's still a very good deal. My guess is its discounted as there was not much talk about the K9 vs the S5 which may have affected sales.

Got one last night and it blows me away! It can drive my Oppo and Hifiman Planars!
 
Soundstage is very good. SQ is lot better than my iPod Touch and Samsung S7 Edge. I like the rock EQ better.
 
A no-brainer! Go get one!

You got the S5 I suppose? Looking good. Very excited for my K9. I already pulled the trigger on a cheap portable amp that's supposedly released a couple of months back. Good to know that the player is decently powered. Hard to pass up that value.

Yes the S5 and K9 are both ridiculously good value. Amazing what you can get for a 20 spot.

Yes, the S5.
 
Powerful for its size. With IEMs, volume is around 12-14. With the Monk+, 16-18. Goes full blast with my HE-400i.
 
How's the play time after a full charge?

talking about power, is it only my unit or the earbud that came with S5 kinda hard to drive? i need to pump the volume up to 25/30 to reach the same volume of 17/30 from monk+

is everyone units is the same or its just my unit that faulty?

If it's the same one I got with my K9 (I assume it's the same one) then yes, they are very hard to drive.

I don't even need one I already have a Fiio X7 and a Cowon Plenue D but I looked at the price and thought why not. It will be fun to compare the $18 Benjie to the others

I ordered one last week from Penon and it has been despatched and in transit according to the DHL website. I am in the UK, I wonder how long it will take to arrive at my house, hopefully it won't end up in customs and have to pay extra.

I'm always amazed how quickly I get stuff from China, my xDuoo's, colorfly and benjie all arrive in 2 weeks or less (think the Benjie only took 10 days) to UK. maybe I was lucky or this is standard?! never had to pay extra. fingers crossed for you.
