Just received that a week after order from China with courier and I paid 8£ something without vat probably I paid only the courier. I think these are sent to owners complementary. I will check at night at home.

I never understood why the back should be glass ...for heat dissipation? Why the back is from glass in ibasso ??? I prefer the Alluminium back of ka3 but this is just me.

Nice move from fiio. Thank you.
The glass in the back is meant to echo the glass in the front:gs1000smile:

Can I ask what’s the deal with the 3.5mm and 4.4mm ports being misaligned with each other. I feel like they should either be centered vertically or at least aligned to the bottom.
ddhifi has you covered:

Can the KA5 be plugged to a Sony Walkman with linux OS?
Dear friend,

According to the feedback from other users, the KA5 could work with the Sony ZX300.

Best regards

Haha! That's awesome! I kinda need it. Do you think it would power my HD 6XX?
Sorry, I don't have any experience with neither ddHiFi TC44C, nor Sennheiser HD 6XX.

The user uses a certain type C to WM cable for help. You could check whether you could find one in Aliexpress or Ebay.

I'm thinking to buy a portable DAC (mainly to use with a Samsung phone or laptop ocasionally). I'm looking at KA5, but would it make a difference considering that I listen mainly to YouTube Music (not the best quality service)? Or the difference would be marginal if any?
I also don't want to switch to other services or my old flac library due to comfort reasons and ease-of use.

YES , the DAC will definitely make a difference no Matter the source.
