Here is the more detail of K7/K7Pro, they share the same design but just the DAC is different, ONE QUESTION, do you want USB B or TYPE C on the back? Note, there will be another TYPE C on the right side of the box>>>https://www.facebook.com/chung.james.92/posts/2972176889557027

Thank you for providing 3 gain options. That's probably the most important function for spreading out the gain for power requirements on different headphones. Does this also imply that power output will be pretty high up for really demanding headphones? I hope so.

Still, I would've preferred a lever like it is on the K5 Pro. Much easier to toggle on a desk. Although, if it's too late to change that, it's fine as long as it's not too difficult to switch up or down. Nobody wants to have to jam a fingernail underneath that switch just to change gain options.

Also, Type-C or Type-B doesn't really matter for me as long as you provide a cable that terminates to a Type-A. Those cables aren't very hard to find anyway.

I'm really looking forward to this DAC-Amp combo. This is going to make my desk a lot cleaner.

The size comparison of K3/K5Pro/K7, be noted that the K7 is just a simple mock-up but not prototype. just to show how big it will be.

I like the headphone outputs away of the volume knob. The only usability complaint of my K5 pro occurs when turning the volume knob with my right hand: the headphone jack gets in the way. A minor nuisance, but better that it does not exist.

Its massiv :D

Will it be true balanced ? or like other thx amp just working with one dac chip ? In that case will the non balanced output put out less power ? Like the drop 789. Or will it put out the same power balanced and unbalanced like the smsl sp200 ?

My max budget is $300. This seems expensive.

Well, you get a better DAC, a balanced amp and BT over the budget-oriented K5 Pro. I don't need balanced (less so THX) as the K5 Pro DAC+Amp is enough quelitiy for me, but need Bluetooth, so all depends on the price. 300$ could be too much for a BT+DAC+THX amp, bat if SE is enough, there are options that fit in this budget.
