I'm also rocking the K5 Pro with Fidelio X2 and I'm very satisfied, hard to find a combo for similar price that gives such nice pack of features and audio quality.

Indeed a good bargain!

Hello
I have attached a pair of active speakers ( Edifier 350D ) to my k5 pro Dac+Amp.
The manual cautions that headphones must be disconnected while the k5 pro is connected via RCA to speakers.
Does that caution still apply even if the speakers are switched off (while still connected via RCA )?

Currently, I switch off the speakers while connecting my headphones to the k5 pro (so that I won't have to keep connecting/disconnecting the RCA cables )

You can keep the monitors connected as long as they’re switched off and you lidten to headphones. My K5 Pro works great in the same circunstances; it‘s connected to an amp to feed a pair of speakers. I turn off the amp while listening to headphones on the K5 Pro and without unplugging the RCA cable.

Hi,
I cannot find, where the manual states, that the headphones must be disconnected. They just say, that you have to be careful with the volume setting, for not frying your headphones.
In my case, I have connected an audioquest nighthawk permanently, and a pair of old Genelec Studio Monitors (1029A).
When I listen through the Genelecs, they are pretty loud at the same volume setting, when the headphones are still pretty quiet.
So no problem at all, I have both connected all the time.

I could be wrong but that was the general suggestion ( to disconnect the headphones if connecting to speakers)
In any case if that’s not a concern then it’s all good.
Hope they fix and automatically disconnect the connection to speakers if a headphone is plugged in the upcoming k7/k9 pro

What that means is that both the RCA and 6.35mm headphone jack will sound at the same time,
so if you have one of them turned off, you can ignore this prompt
If you have both speakers and headphones on, they will sound at the same time.

That’s cleared one issue. Thanks

Another one though : I keep the volume dial on the k5 Pro all the way up and use the digital volume control in windows 10 desktop to set the desired volume. That’s an ok practice too, yes ? (Don’t want to reach all the way over to the device to adjust volume)

last one : when are you releasing the k9 pro ? I want that to drive my hd800s !!

My suggestion here is clearly:
Windows volume always at max, and using the K5 pro volume disk instead.

... volume dial ...

I got the best HP sound quality using the ASIO driver (supplied by Fiio) with Foobar 2000 player, bypassing windows 10 digital audio management. Foobar 2000 vol set to max, all volume control with K5 Pro volume knob.

The purpose of this setting is sending a bit perfect digital data right into the DAC part of the K5 Pro.

Thank you very much for your support!
1,Yes, you can use the digital volume control in windows 10 desktop to set the desired volume.But many people will turn up the volume on the Windows 10 desktop and adjust the volume on the K5 Pro
2,k9 pro will be release in March 2021,A long holiday in the supply chain because of the Chinese New Year.

After a prolonged time, this DAC/AMP is excellent : power, neutrality and accuracy, three gain modes, multiple connections, and a knob volume. For sub 200$, it's the perfect solution for a two in one. I can easily think about another much more demanding headphone as a 300 ohms headphone for instance.

 

[mobbaddict]

Does UAPP work through the K5 pro or are we tied to the Fiio app? I would like to try the app but don't want to spend 7€ to realize then that it's not compatible.

A fiio k5 pro Is good for my beyerdinamyc t5 3rd? Or Is there Better alternatives? (Not too much expensive)
