  Yes, this is an previous model compatible with older FiiO DAC/AMPs

 
 
Thanks Classic!
 
If anyone sees this posted for sale by a US distributor or on Amazon please post an update so we know when it was commercially available.  I had hoped to pair it with the X7 over christmas like the user above has.  I'm mad jelly he was able to acquire it so early!

Have they given any firmer dates this will be available, other than early 2016?

For those interested, just posted my first impression of K5 in X7 thread: http://www.head-fi.org/t/713735/fiio-x7-dxd-dsd-384k-64b-ess9018-android-amp-module-design-call-for-3rd-party-amp-module-developers/7665#post_12198504

K5 poped out on Taobao again: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.8.KFFIHt&id=523961492750&ns=1&abbucket=14#detail
I don't understand a word so I'm not risking it (but I want one so much :< )
 
 
Also found a review: http://articles.imp3.net/69972-99.html 
Again I don't understand a bit and google translate doesn't help much but there are a few cool photos there ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

been using the K5 a lot lately. Its a really good desktop amp imo. can drive some heavy duty stuff pretty well

Yea, it gets quite positive reviews, and that makes me happy because I want to use it with X7 and HD650s as my main audio device for my PC.(The DAC functionality for the X7 can't come fast enough)

I have one here but it doesn't have a EU powercord

No problem, you can give it to me I have plenty of EU power cords.

 

[Ultrainferno]

oh I have plenty as well, just none fit the K5 adapter

Wife's laptop charger? Bingo. Thanks for the tip

One of the benefits of being married

How do you like the sound now? Doesn't it feel more expanded and with better transparency in comparison to a stock iem amp module?

I knew it would pay off in the end
Haven't really tried yet, just got it running.
