After a few weeks with my new FT5, I'm looking for a new headphone amplifier.
Maybe you can recommend one to me?

Since I want to operate a second headphone with a different impedance in parallel, it should have 2 adjustable outputs. Unfortunately, a LakePoeple G105 has too few inputs and no DAC.
So far I have used an Oehlbach XXL DAC.

3 independent (volume and gain) headphone outputs: 2 balanced & 1 SE.

Thanks for the tip.
But it has no digital inputs and no DAC. I don't want to send the signal through the AVR first.
The Violectric 590 would be perfect, but way too big for my wallet.

You asked for amplifier recommendations.

What you seem to be after is an AMP/DAC combo.

I don't know of any with independent headphone outputs. Multiple, yes but not independent / switchable.

 

[politel]

You're right.
I'm looking for an AMP/DAC with 2 headphone outputs that can be adjusted so that I can listen to the FT5 and the FT3/350 at the same time as my wife.
The volume adjustment could also be done with “balance”.

Its really a fiio K7 problem solved.

Are the headphone outputs switchable with independent volume and gain settings or is the signal alway "on" in every output ?

Its alwsys on, and u will not find any headphone amp under like 1000€ or more where u can independently manipulate the balanced and single ended outputs. When i watching movies with my wife i use a mackie hm4 headphone splitter/amplifier so we can use headphones and can control the volumes independently with the knobs for each headphone. But its first of all a studio device, not a hifi although maybe this is what u searching for, its very cheap and i dont hear any drawbacks in audio quality vs the k7, weird. Oh and its only a single ended with 6.3 plugs.

Just how proprietary are the cup connections? Would I be able to use other cables with it, more specifically my Meze copper 4.4mm balanced cable? Is the fitment/clamp tight enough to do some head bobbin without them sliding off my head?

They are just 3.5mm and the clamp is good without being too tight.

Thanks buddy. I read a review stating that they are twist lock connections.

I read that somewhere too and I asked around as that was a concern before I bought them. But they are 3.5mm and use my Hart cables like the rest.

Hello,
Does anyone know if Fiio sells replacement ear pads for the FT5. I checked their Aliexpress store but they only sell the cable as a spare.
Regards.
