[FiiO K5Pro/K5Pro ESS]Desktop DAC and Amplifier+768K/32Bit and DSD512 decoding+3 gain levels (K5 Pro ESS (Red Version) Is Available Now)

Well some of us prefer something around neutral for the source and for the headphones to be the main colouration. The K5 pro is very slightly bass leaning anyways but is flat enough.

If you are getting the sundara I would still recomend the K5 pro, if you get the zen dac please do get the power supply. Off the k5 pro the sundara get plenty loud and dynamic which headroom to spare while that is only the case for the zen dac with the not included power supply. Sure the sundara gets loud but it doesnt sound good. Also with the zen dac everything will be coloured with a warm bassy sound but seeing as how you like the colouring already it shouldnt be too much of a issue.

As to noise I cant tell you other then both are quiet when nothing is playing and there is no audable hum when something is playing for both. I'm sure ASR has the numbers if you are interested.

good enough answer! thank you man .

Finally got my K5 Pro. Months of waiting as there was no stock with the local dealer. Now i have plenty of juice driving my HD58X.

Works fine with the Sennheisers line indeed. I'm just wondering how much of an improvement a tube amp set up adds to this.

I have an Audiosente T800 with 9,2 Ohm impedance and 90 dB sensitivity. I'm having a hard time finding a deskamp that gets along with them. Most have hiss and are difficult to regulate in volume. Can the K5 pro be the solution?

@Stove Not sure, while I want to say yes because it powers my iems to high impedence headphones nicely I dont have a iem at 9ohm. Then again at a OI of 1.1ohm it should be ok. Powers my HE560 just fine so it will get loud enough at lest. I needed high gain at the 11 o'clock. Personally I would rec the fiio K5 pro more based off its smooth wide detailed sound sig.

On to my shill, whoever said the fiio K5 pro line out is noisy needs to get their ears checked. I finally got rca cables and none of the noisy pre out nonsense is audable even if true.

@FiiO What does current drive do? Is it just marketing or does help the sound in some way.

Hi,

Do you mean the 4.47 USB DAC driver? After installing this driver, you could use the K5 Pro in the Windows computer.

Best regards

Did someone try the dt 1990 whit the k5pro ?

Are the highs smooth or harsh?

How are the dynamics resolution and details ?

Thanks

First impressions the build is very clean and looks good.

Sound is clean and smooth no distortion very controlled.

My Bitrate doesn't change automatically its stuck on 32bit and 41000khz and glows always blue even when i play flacs. I have to change it by my self then it do i miss somthing ? Player or windows options ? I use it whit the same usb driver i loaded for my Q5s. Do i need another version ?
