From PC to K5 it's simply USB connection, and you will receive a 3.5 > 6.5mm adapter in the package (I am using it right now with my Fidelio X2)

Oups didn't read the message above because of the refreshment of the page

Hello Everyone.
What are the 2 most important features you would need if the K5 Pro were to be upgraded?
A 4.4mm Pentaconn connector instead of the 6.3mm single ended, a 3.5mm single ended connector and a "true" line out.

The two most important for me would be the 4.4mm Pentaconn connector and the "true" line out.

Hello Everyone.

First: Bluetooth input. Fiio k5 pro is already a very capable product. Metal house, various wired input ports, line out, can drive anything. In my opinion the only and most important upgrade would be bluetooth receiver built in.

Second: Swap the stock USB A to USB B cable to an USB C to USB B cable and supply an USB A to USB C adapter.

With this two upgrades the Fiio k5 pro would be compatible with every phone wireless via bluetooth out of box and with every android phone wired out of box.

I would also look into making it compatible with ps5. Since there aren't many product compatible with ps5 yet.

I second that. Google cast / Airplay compatibility would be even better than bluetooth IMO for an all-in-one solution with no compression.

Hello,
What kind of usage scenario do you want to use the Bluetooth input function for?
