nice line up :)
 
the protective stopper, where does that go? instead of an amp module, or below the AM0?
 
and what about cases with the AM0?

So is the DK1 - Multifunction Dock, basically a charging stand? Does it do anything that the K5 does not?

Also, what is the purpose of the AM0 - Non-amped module? Is this for folks who prefer to use a separate portable amp with the X7? I always thought that you could just bypass the connected amp module by using the line-out port.

the DK1 is indeed a charging stand. but it also has a line out port.

[NOTE: THE FOLLOWING IS SPECULATION]
i believe that the idea is to sell future X7's with the AM0, as a lot of people will pick the AM2 or AM5 or AM3 or AM2 instead of the AM1. saves FiiO a bit of money, saves you a bit of money (possibly)
 
also reduces size and weight of the device, which, when strapped onto your dac/amp of choice, is nice.

[NOTE: THE ABOVE IS SPECULATION]

Now my question is -
 
 
Is this DK1 is the much anticipated device which can help compatible Fiio Products connect at the back of the 'Dock IN' port of the K5  ? So user don't need to Dock at the Top of the K5 ?

No. They were going to make a cable for that but I have not heard anything about that yet. Also I gave up on finding one somewhere  else.

Hi CH23,

Protective stopper is used to connect with the X7 Main body, which will have dust proof protection. 
 
Here is the introduction of AM0: http://fiio.net/en/products/49#AM0
 
Thanks,

I'm having trouble interpreting the distortion graphs on the specifications page. It looks like distortion is going down as gain is increased. Why is that? Is the load impedance being increased? What impedance was used for each graph?

There's no direct correlation between the Gain and distortion. The graph is made based on the measured value that we get from testingAnd the load impedance is 32 ohm for each graph.

Hello all.
 
I am considering to buy the Fiio k5 and perhaps pair it with the Fiio x1 and i have some questions.
 
1) Does the Fiio K5 have a gain option ?
2) The Fiio X1 is not a standalone DAC . What is the difference/benefit when docked to the K5 besides as a music source ? If i feed with music the K5 from the usb (foobar from the pc) when the X1 will be docked will it matter .Perhaps it will use X1's internal dac ? 
3) Any issues with the K5 i should know about ? I read some weeks back that the first batches had some issues , but i can't recall them.
 
Thanks in advance.

When the X1 is docked with the K5, it just works as a DAP, and transfers the line out signal (analogue signal) to the K5 by the dock connector.

1: yes
2: no, the X1 can not be used as a DAC.
3: it is possible that with a case on your X1, the connection to the K5 isn't perfect.

Benefit to Dock X1 over K5 is :
 
You can drive high impedance headphone upto 300 ohm with proper authority which is not possible via X1's headphone jack....
 
...and you can't feed music via USB with Foobar from your PC unless you docked following Fiio products E17k / X3 (ii) / X5 (ii) or X7 .  
 
If you connect X1 when docked over K5 it will mount Micro SD Card at your PC for Music Transfer needs...needless to say it will charge the device too.
