I Don’t use with any kind of IEMs. But to me the amp if plenty powerful to drive most of what you can throw at it. Really enjoying mine.

Beyerdynamic T1 certified. It says up to 300 ohm headphones, but can easily drive my T1.Gen2 (600 ohms)

I can't decide if I should buy a K5 Pro MKII ESS or a Topping DX3 Pro+. I have a pair of Sennheisers HD 595 and Empire S5000 studio monitors. The Fiio would cost me about 30€ more. Any input? Thanks!

@davidrf Dx3 pro+ has a remote control and bluetooth input but a 3.5 mm. HP output. K5 Pro ESS has a line input and a more useful 6.35 mm. HP output

Still waiting on mine to arrive. Ordered on the 9th of February and it’s no fun waiting. Hopefully it’s worth it to use with the Hifiman Sundaras.

The dx3 pro+ does not pair well with low impedance headphones.

If there is one thing this misses is not having a remote. Still think it’s a great buy!

For remote control, the K9Pro could be considered. But it is much bigger one.

Hello everyone! I have to ask a question in regards to my K5 Pro ESS. When I have the K5 connected to my laptop through USB mode I get some crackling sound. Does anyone have a solution to this issue? When I use my FiiO X3 Hi Resolution player I don't have any issues. Any advice or help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, have you installed the FiiO drivers?

Dear friend,

You could install the driver and try another USB cable first.
If the issue still remains, please contact us again with the receipt attached.
