Dear Respected Customers,
 
 
FiiO has strived to constantly progress and innovate with fresh ideas in the portable amplifier market since its own entry. With the A5, we continue this tradition by striving to significantly improve over our previous products. 
 
Beyond just getting output power near that of the E12 of 800mW at 32 Ω, you also get the E12A’s exquisite abilities in reproducing music. All of the details mean that the A5 combines the best of both the E12 and the E12A.

The delivery of A5 to our worldwide agents starts this week. If you are interested in this lovely product, please kindly check with local agents (>>Where to Buy) for its availability soon.
 
 
Best regards,
FiiO Electronics Technology Co., Ltd.

I seen it and got hungry.
But I just got a e17k to dac my note 2 phone.
Driving my hd600 with it. To be honest, i am just starting to appreciate good quality sound
And therefore got the e17, now, although i think all sounds good on these sennheiser hd600's using this setup,
i am thinking of getting the a5 to put between the E17k and the hd600.
Am i an idiot for thinking i need that power to make an improvement?
Ps
(Later i can budget in a dedicated player, what to start with considering this level of amp)?

I have an X5 (2nd gen) with an E12A and love it.  It powers all my hp's including my Beyer T1 (though not very loud).  It works best with my Hifiman HE560.  If the A5 is an improvement I'm getting in line for this one.  Particularly since the price seems to be right.

On the numbers only, the hd600 being 300Ohm impedance would benefit from the extra power volume wise however having heard neither kit or phones, I couldn't comment on the sound quality or frequency response.

You would have to take into account & manage a bigger rig with Note 2/DAP as source, E17K as DAC & A5 as Amp + hd600 headphones.

Hello,
 
The A5 amplifier is unlisted on my local vendor's website in Ottawa, Ontario. Will you be adding it to your amazon.ca store?
 
Thanks
