FiiO K5 Docking Headphone Amplifier / DAC
MPN's:
Excellent with Fiio X5ii
I discovered a while ago that my X5ii needed more power to drive my headphones. The additional amplification provides more dynamic range. i have been using the FiiO E12 amp for some time, but I wanted an AC powered unit that would also charge the X5ii. The output of the K5 is about twice that of the E12 and my listening tests with hi-res flac files confirm that the sound is uncolored, but with greater dynamic range.

Add convienience to Audiophile music enjoyment
I dock my FiiO x3 gen2 audio player into the X5 and it adds a hole new level of convenience to my entire music listening experience. I hook my audio output of my computer to the line in so I still have audio if the player is out. I use the dac input for sound when the player is in. I use Sennheiser HD 650 with the Amp and get awesome sound , the front volume control again adding to the convenience of operation. I have my pioneer sx 750 hooked to ... Show More

nice
Works well.Quality great.Expected more weight in keeping with size but fine.Please don't add weight for it's on sake Fiio.Another rca pre-out would have been preferred over the balanced outputs.Sound:It makes it louder and better.An amp is worth it.Wall wart functions fine,but I have myriad options to supply 15v..This was one reason I went with K5 over the Magni .Another was cool docking capability.I use with a modded Phillips shp9500it needs it....

I should have purchased this a while ago
I love Fiio's stuff. I'm sold. I wish it came with a remote. Otherwise, it is fantastic. I use closed ear headphones with it and I play it through a pair of Audio Engine speakers and B+W base speaker. No issues. Built quality is solid and the knobs, switches and plugs all have been pretty robust in the last five months.

Excellent Addition for Fiio's X1
Completely satisfied with the amplifier. Paired it with Fiio X1 and use this combination with Sennheiser 598SE. Bass improved, soundstage in these cans was wide and became even wider. Lots of details. Perfect match as a dock station for the Fiio Xs as well. I really love it.

Nice Amp BUT.........
It will not work with the new X7 MarkII. The X7 case is too wide for the bay and it won't allow it to sit down on the USB connector. Its a nice amp and I am keeping it for my X5. It is not a DAC. You have to use the internal DAC in the FIIO.
