500 dollar would be a bargain for that device
Ok. Go ahead and grab a bunch of them.
I won't.

That's a good suggestion, we will check the AKM datasheet and confirm it, such as noise and THD audio specifications.Hi Kean,
I have a K5Pro and am very impressed. Looking forward to the K7 series.
I have a feature request which could be applied in the firmware for both the K5Pro and the new K7 series:
I use the K5 Pro with HQPlayer music software. I upsample all audio to DSD256.
Since you are using a NJW1195 volume chip there is no need to internally convert dsd to pcm. The akm4493 can run in bypass mode with dsd input.
This would bypass most of the internal dsp and remove the dsd to pcm internal conversion step.
My request is a firmware update to allow dsd256 to run in bypass mode.
Here is a link to the direct/bypass mode block diagram for the akm4493:

Here is some further discussion on bypass mode:

Hook up the pre-out or line-out to your active monitors. Then the PO/LO switch will turn off your speakers when toggled.For some yes ... but at that price I would at least expect an output switch to choose between headphone and my active monitors
That would work ... if such switch was available.Hook up the pre-out or line-out to your active monitors. Then the PO/LO switch will turn off your speakers when toggled.
OK ... now I'm feeling stupid for having missed that.Killing me bruh....look at page 11.
Yeah in terms of all in one bang for your buck functionality the MOTU products are the top of the mountain.OK ... now I'm feeling stupid for having missed that.
This indeed would work to switch between active speakers or no active speakers.
However, the switch will not prevent your headphone from also playing while your speakers play, which is not desirable.
So that combined with the fact that I still can't use my headsets mic for conversations (hence the audio interface Motu M2 I use), makes it a less interesting product for my personal use. Or maybe I just need to consider switching to a headphone instead of a headset and use a separate USB microphone.
Bad news: Fiio K7 pro will not be releasing anytime soon.
Good news: They releasing the one with current specifications sooner as K9 and K9 pro. Featuring AKM4497 & AKM4499 respectively. Priced at 650/800 usd
