Another improvement! Desktop DAC and Amplifier K5 Pro ESS Is Officially Released!​

Since the birth of the K5 Pro, a desktop DAC and headphone amplifier, there are more convenient and cost-effective decoding devices for junior HiFi users. It is not only an excellent assistant for desktop HiFi external sound cards, but also helps to achieve an easier listening experience with HiFi over-ear headphones.

This time, this lively product has been upgraded due to chip shortage. From early December, the K5 Pro ESS edition entered the market. The main difference between the previous K5 Pro and the K5 Pro ESS is that the new one employs the flagship portable ESS DAC, the ES9038Q2M

with more outstanding performance and richer audio details. Compared to the last gen, the distortion has reduced by 50%, the crosstalk for LO has increased by 6dB with greater channel separation, and the dynamic range has increased by 3dB.

In terms of performance, the K5 Pro ESS is superior when being connected to multiple devices- supporting coaxial/optical/RCA line inputs, 6.35mm/RCA line outputs, up to 768k sampling rate and native DSD512.

In addition, low, medium, and high gain levels are available, allowing us to use the K5 Pro ESS with almost any headphone at comfortable volume levels.

Keep features of the FiiO K5 Pro ESS include:
--High-performance DAC ES9038Q2M
--XMOS decoding
--Specially-designed audio architecture
--Supports 768k/32bit, DSD512
--3 gain levels
--1.5W large power
--Coaxial/Optical/RCA line inputs
--6.35mm/RCA line outputs
--RGB indicator lights

Dear friend,

Due to the discontinuation of DAC chip, the K5 Pro has been out of stock for some time. As a result, we have to replace the DAC with 9038Q2M from ESS Technology. The prices of new DAC chips and other raw materials have been way increased.Therefore, we are forced to increase the retail price. Thanks for the understanding in advanced!

You could consider to get the K5Pro ESS from our seller in UAE.

Best regards

With zen dac tidal app works perfectly.
Also if i connect K5 Pro to a Raspberry Pi4 with moode audio streamer i have distorted sound.

On android fiio k5 pro works good with Usb audio player pro, fiio music and Hiby music, i recommend UAPP.

i got my K5 pro ESS today and its pretty darn good, crystal clear, the gain switch works well and has a nice split in values, Volume dial is nice and smooth, would be nice if it stuck out a bit more but that just may be me with my chunky fingers. shipping it with an extra set of feet is a excellent move fiio well done (message from me in the future). so far i have tested with my Hifiman Ayra(v3 SE) and DCA aeon noir both sound amazing through the K5 pro ESS . will do some more testing tonight after work with my lcd-gx, focal clear and some others, might even check some iems, also got my fiio UTWS5 today which is also excellent and working well with mt 7hz timeless
