Does UAPP work through the K5 pro or are we tied to the Fiio app? I would like to try the app but don't want to spend 7€ to realize then that it's not compatible.

Yes, this working good.

A fiio k5 pro Is good for my beyerdinamyc t5 3rd? Or Is there Better alternatives? (Not too much expensive)

I haven't tried these cans on my K5 Pro, but taking into account their low impedance (32 Ohms) and their high sensitivity (100 dB/mW), K5 Pro shoud be able to handle them effortlessly, like it does with similar cans specifications wise (like Denon D7200 and Hifiman Ananda)

After a prolonged time, this DAC/AMP is excellent : power, neutrality and accuracy, three gain modes, multiple connections, and a knob volume. For sub 200$, it's the perfect solution for a two in one. I can easily think about another much more demanding headphone as a 300 ohms headphone for instance.

Can't agree more. It really packs a punch. With my HD660S I can't go further then 12 o'clock on the lowest gain setting. The digital volume knob works a treat and the bit rate indicator is really neat. I use mine for headphones only via USB on Mac OS running Audirvana and the sound quality is just amazing considering the asking price.

With the Fidelio X2 (only 32 ohms) I am always between 9 and 11 o'clock, low gain of course. I took this headphone because of the low price (95€ only on Amazon) and also wanted to try it since a long time, so far it's a good combo with the K5 Pro and for an affordable price.

But because I made an "audiophile break" during more or less four years, I am already thinking about buying a higher headphone with great mids in the following months : coming back to the Sennheiser HD650 which I loved (sold in 2017 because I really needed a closed back headphone at the time), or getting the Focal Elear (saw a few one between 300 and 400€ on second hand), or maybe another choice. For sub 400€, what would be your pick guys?

The HD650 is a great choice for good midrange of course but you could also try an entry-level or mid-fi planar headphone for a different taste and a meatier sound. The K5 pro works well with planars and there are a few interesting options at this price point (Verum1, Avantone Planar, Sundara...). Ideally my advice would be to find out which kind of sound you like best before upgrading to a better headphone.

I already had the HD650 before, it was really my type of sound, except the soundstage

Interesting to know about planar! I had a Oppo PM-3 before, it was amazing on a technical point of view. I've checked the references : the two first seems very heavy and I already find the X2 quite heavy, so 100g more would be a lot in my opinion but maybe I am wrong. I've already heard about the Sundara before, but didn't dig enough yet and seems OK with the weight

Yes, the Hifimans should be light enough. I haven't heard the new ones but you'll find plenty of feedback here.

I will look into, thanks!

Yes of course, great amount of power and your headphone is 32 ohms so really easy to drive for the K5Pro, like my Fidelio X2HR by the way (also 32 ohms). DAC section convincing too

It has enough power for your T5's but if it is a good match to pair a 1000,- headphone with a 150,- amp/dac... I don't know.
