It seems I'm becoming a Fiio convert; first the A5 portable amp then the M11 DAP, followed by the Q5S portable amp. It seems I have the portable side of things covered but I have been researching a good desktop amp to power my MrSpeakers AFO headphones so maybe the K5 is just what I need.

I like the looks of this! Can’t wait to hear one!

I’m curious to see how this DAC/amp compares with the FULLA 2 and MAGNI-MODI 3 beasties. The images show an illuminated potentiometer. QUESTION = does the LED change colour to indicate different settings? If the ‘pot’ can be as smooth as a JDS Labs Element, that’ll be a level 4, eh. :flag_ca:

Yes the LED changes colour.
On paper they compare like this, in real life remains to be seen (or heard). :)

Christ on a Cracker! @KopaneDePooj ... Did you just whip that table up?! I appreciate your effort (or whomever built this comparison table). If this offering from FiiO attracts more new listeners to headphone audio, that's good (don't let old[er] farts like me set the development trends alone). :ksc75smile:

I have the original K5 and enjoyed the ability to run 250 ohm headphone. Also it gave me a great home base of my X7ii. I have been looking at the pro version for a while now. It's a pity that docking has been removed, but I can see why.

Tx for this great opportunity.

My E17 Alpen has been in use daily for a few years, sounds great, and has been bulletproof!

Based on my experience with it, I am anxiously awaiting purchasing (or winning) a K5 PRO.

I predict this will be a HUGE sales success!

Cheers from Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada
