Maybe they;ll bring the cable later on? 

 
Im more curious about a cheap RCA cable that is transparent to use the line out of another device. 

 
Try eBay. You might be able to get a good cable cheap instead of a cheap cable cheap.

...eBay does not exist or work in Romania 

 
I've no idea what to look for, a 10$ cable should do for 3.5 -> 2xRCA 
 
Maybe something like this would work? It costs like 12$... There are cheap ones at 2$ and the next one costs 35$ which is kinda more than what I want to spend on a cable for K5 since I might not need

In other order of thoughts, to connect a laptop that has line out to K5, it's necessary to have one of those 3.5 to 2xRCA, no? 
 
Curious if K5 will do ie800 justice

Well - some cities and areas like entire Arges county relies on a single city delivery point - Pitesti. 
 
This means that whenever I buy something from outside, I need to sacrifice an entire day of work, a 50km car ride (gas price) and have to fit in with the schedule there. 
 
And in Bucharest they're.... They sent some things back without even informing me that they arrived. 
 
All of this on normal postage, using curiers works well. At least this was my experience.

thats something i understand (although it only happens for packages shipped from outside of the european union, to be fair), but saying that "ebay does not exist or work in romania" sounds like an overstatement. i didnt want to offend you in any way, i just felt some clarification was needed.

Sure, my friend! 

 
I avoid ordering from outside if not from a shop because I had problems with some packages, and you know, once burnt, always cautious 

 
As for a working RCA cable, the one mentioned earlier by me should do it's job without any problems, no?

yes, that cable should work and looks nice too. it's longer than i would need though.

When ordering a cable, figure out the longest you'll need and don't order any longer.

Really should remember this advice when ordering something, I got a lot of cables around my table, especially mouse cable. 
 
On the other hand, I don't have enough headphone cables, since ultrasone dj one pro comes with a half meter cable that isn't enough to use them comfortably with anything

 
I would go as far as saying that IE800 from sennheiser has longer cables 

 
Looking forward for hearing the K5 soon, don't know why, but it really got my attention lately.

I am using my X3ii and K5 to drive the HE-400i, but I feel like it still doesn't have enough power. I have everything maxed out and the K5 at 12 o'clock and high gain and it's kind of loud enough. I still feel like maybe something is missing.
 
 
Would there be a difference in volume between docking the X3 and docking the E17k? 
 
Does anybody else have experience using the same combo as me? Is there anything I can do to get more sound out of it? I'm surprised and disappointed because on paper it's a very powerful amp.

The K5 drives the Sennheiser HD 6xx (aka HD 650) just fine. I have plenty of power in reserve.

Dear ext23,
 
Please check whether the line out mode is set to fixed and fixed level is set to 0dB for help.
 
Best regards

1. yes, that's what you need; connect the 3.5mm plug to the line-out of your PC and the red & white jacks to the line-in connectors on your k5
 
2. the K5 can be used as a dock for fiio x3ii, x5ii, x7, e17k. you use the USB cable to connect these to your PC in DAC mode
 
you may find more details here: http://www.fiio.net/en/story/408
