New Head-Fier
it has coaxial & optical input, the k5 is a great small (but huge) receiver audio <3
I think both will be good, go with what you can afford.I'm torn between q5s and k5 pro. I need to drive hd 660s and I understand that the q5s is more expensive and a better sounding device but I'm concerned about the volume control.
Both use a potentiometer (which i just learned about today) & hd660s is quite efficient which makes me wonder whether the k5 pro is a good buy for me considering I'll probably have to keep the volume at ~25% (vs ~75% on the q5s). Any insights?
Thanx a lot!I think both will be good, go with what you can afford.
I have the Q5s and with my HD6XX (300 ohm) / balanced cable / high gain / 12 o'clock position it is very loud, couldn't go past that point. So I imagine with HD660s you'll have even more headroom.
On the other hand the K5 Pro has 3 gain positions so I imagine on low or mid gain you'll go past 25% on the volume.
