  In my opinion, K5 makes more sense to get if you already have other FiiO X-series DAPs or E17k DAC/amp - it's a perfect and a very convenient companion for FiiO products which can also be used with other DAPs (as a bonus).

 
 
yes, that is exactly what we designed for!

James, will a future update make it possible to turn off system sound? When I take a screenshot, or when a system notification happens, the music volume gets lowered for a moment..

 
 
sorry, it is the first report about such issues so we will see whether we should modify the system in the future . but right now I can't promise anything to you .

Ok so I got mine in and setup on my pc running windows 10.. There is something going on with the the dock on my K5. My X3mkii works just fine with a micro usb cable bit does not work in the dock. I have tried different usb ports and the same issue. My computer does not recognize the X3 when she is in the dock but does when I use a usb cable directly to my X3.  The other issue is that I have very low volume on my right channel. When I play a song off the micro sd, the right channel is almost muted. Using the line in, both channels are fine.
 
Looks like my dock connection is screwed up. Anybody have any suggestions

Few things to check:
1. Are you using the full size USB-B to USB-A cable included in the box to connect the K5 to the PC?
2. Is the micro-usb connector on your X3ii free of any type of debree or lint (I've seen countless phones described as broken and all it was was some fibers from a pocket stuck inside the USB connector)
3. Are you pushing your X3ii all the way down?

did you use one of the 2 foam pads? i think it's needed for a good connection.

Just after a little help if possible. When I dock my X7 (firmware 1.8 factory reset completed) into the K5 my understanding is that the X7 should then be able to turned on and off by the K5. It doesn't, I have to use the on/off button on the side of the X7. Also the idle timer doesn't work i.e. it won't power down automatically when not played (set for 5 minutes). My X3 2nd gen powers on/off perfectly as it should although is difficult to dock (even using the rubber spaces). Am I missing a setting somewhere on the X7 to hand over control to the K5? Any ideas? thanks guys.

my usb cable is around 125cm

Strictly from sound quality perspective which will be better a better DAC/AMP combo K5+E17K or K5+X3 2nd Gen.
