I was asking whether you can connect an iBasso DX80 to the K5. Has anyone tried this?

Thanks!

From what I understand, no. The dock is proprietary as is the input on the back to work with a 11(?) Pin FiiO Micro USB cable that only fits FiiO devices.

Okay, understood. Thanks for the information.

Hi guys
 
I have Fiio E17k + K5 dock. Right now, I plug in my headphone to E17K and my speaker Soundstick III to the front of K5
 
Is it the right way?

Hi, NanaNana
It seems your collection is lacking the sound source. The sound will come out from the output port of the K5 when the E17K plug into the dock of the K5 not the E17K.

by doing this, you amplify twice. the soundstick III is quite capable on its own.
 
use the line out on the back of the K5.

Thanks for replying, but if I use the line out of K5, which one I will plug in headphone to , K5 or E17?
 
E17 allows me to control the EQ

can i ask you why you want to use the K5 in the first place?

The E17 is a good DAC/AMP on its own, isn't it?

I had to look this up, but I don't believe you can put the E17 in the cradle, as it has a different connection, so you would have to connect the line out of the E17 to the line in of the K5, then connect your headphones to the front of the K5.

Because I want to use the volume knob K5 to control the SS III but it seems like impossible to do that
 
I already used the line out of K5 for my speakers and my headphone head to K5 but is there anyway to stop the sound one of them because they came out at the same time

in that case plug it in the front.
Why do you want to use 2 amplifiers in line, with 2 volume controls though?
The right speaker of the SSIII has volume controls.

fairly certain that's hardwired.

With a source connected to the K5 Line In, will it be passed to (through) the line out, when the K5 is not turned on?  Such as the Tape Monitor (REC OUT) does on vintage integrated amplifiers.

Hi,
Only the K5 works as AMP in this way.

Hi, r2
This function is not supported by the K5. 

 

[PastorDonTKD]

Does anyone know if the K5 supports the new x1ii?

The DOCK IN port at the back of the K5 has the same function of the docking connector. It’s designed for the situation where the player cannot be connected properly through the docking connector when wearing a clear plastic case or leather case (the stickers will not matter).
 

 

 

I'm exactly this situation: I use a leather cover on my X7 and it does not fit in the top dock.

 

Where can I buy this cable???

Dear All,
 
From April this year, we already started to make the sample USB DOCK IN cable specially for the micro USB port at the back of the K5.
Because the micro USB port was 11-pin, the core of that special USB DOCK IN cable might be about 10mm in diameter after our estimate. Yeah, it was a bit thick.
In order to make the technical index of this cable be same as the K5's docking connector, we continued to debug its output parameters and linear impedanc. We finally solved the output parameters issue, even though the debugging process was not smooth at firstly. However, when starting to test the sample cable with the K5, we found the X series music players including X3II, X5II, X7 can NOT work as a DAC with connecting this USB DOCK IN cable. It would be required to make some very big and difficult technical changes on this cable if we want to solve this DAC issue.
 
Therefore, looking at the above factors, including the large diamether of this cable and the difficulties in solving the DAC issue, which cause this USB DOCK IN cable can not implement the exactly same functions as what the K5's docking connector does, we sorry to inform you we decide to cancle the project of this USB DOCK IN cable specially for the K5. Moreover, we will revise some related decription about this cable on our official website or the user manual for the K5 later.
 
So sorry for all the inconvenience which the above decision has brough to you! And any understanding will be highly appreciated.
