I just joined you by buying m11 and q5s. my next goal is to get fh7. I hope I'm lucky enough to win this gift.

Was the original K5 a current-gain amplifier, that switched to voltage mode just before the headphone output? I realize that’s kind of a nerd comment, but having really liked other amps that did that (Questyle, Cavalli, Sennheiser), I thought it was cool and heard a rumor that the FiiO K5 was doing it too. This pro model looks nice

Edit: I love my FiiO X7, debating on whether to buy the THX amp module AM3D or try to buy an M11. Is it the same amp in both? I actually quite like the DAC in the X7, haven’t tried the AKM that’s in the M11 but I like the idea of more battery life, Miss the idea of extra amp modules (I have three!).

Winning isn't everything. But K5 Pro could be something useful for people who sit in front of the computer a lot. I can see how the ample power and the versatile three gain settings and the spdif support are pluses. I do wonder if the usb input supports android and ios, because
some people may want to just check to see if it is possible. As for not having any wireless support, I guess it was to lower the cost. But the K5 Pro seems big enough to house a lot of stuff in there though. I wonder if they left the door open for modder to put in their huge caps and Burson op amps.

Looks like a Q5s in desktop form, interesting indeed

I've enjoyed the quality to price ratio of al my other other FiiO amps and dacs. I'd love to try this one

I happen to try a lot of Fiio gear at Canjam London a month ago.
The K5Pro has been on my radar ever since: it's one of the best desktop package I've seen so far.
I would love to win one.

Drive any full sized headphone?

If so it is very good value.
