Version of the K5 PRO with Saber ES9038Q2M DAC chip

The FiiO K5 PRO ESS is the new version of the legendary FiiO K5 PRO with integrated high-performance DAC and new functions at the user's service.

For the first time you will experience truly realistic details in your sound, thanks to the good features of this device, which allows your PC, speakers and headphones to work together to transport you to a live concert without leaving home.

With the best internal components and equipped with the most varied connections, the K5 PRO ESS will make you vibrate with your favorite songs.

In the FiiO K5 PRO ESS clock management is improved and decoding performance is excellent.

This is made possible by the all-new XMOS XUF208 USB decoding chip with unprecedented capabilities, supporting figures up to 768kHz and native DSD decoding.

To obtain the best sound quality and regardless of what audio equipment you use, the K5 PRO ESS will allow you to take advantage of the benefits of digital audio thanks to its optical and coaxial inputs with inputs up to 192kHz, to connect various music players and digital interfaces.

The FiiO K5 PRO ESS reaches new heights when it comes to sound. It integrates a high-performance Saber ES9038Q2M DAC with 32-bit processing, which together with the XMOS chip forms a unique set in its price range.

Since the audio channels work independently, the K5 PRO ESS has such a high level of resolution that you will hear details you never noticed before.

If we talk about amplification, it should be noted that this K5 PRO ESS covers a good space to pack the necessary components and achieve exceptional analog amplification. Its four-level circuit is capable of providing extraordinary audio fidelity in its class and each part of the amplification circuit works in perfect harmony for excellent dynamic range and high sound resolution.

This FiiO K5 PRO ESS is capable of increasing the total output power of any headphone by more than 60% regardless of its impedance.

The K5 PRO ESS uses a DC 15V power supply designed to minimize noise.

Thanks to the independent power supply, you get more power and stability, two crucial aspects for achieving outstanding sound in a high-performance device.

The main controls of the FiiO K5 PRO ESS are summarized in the gain and input selectors located on the front of the amplifier/DAC.

Both switches are clearly and intuitively labeled. The gain levels are divided into low, medium and high so you can use the K5 PRO ESS with any headphones at a volume level comfortable for your ears.

Following in the footsteps of the previous model, this K5 PRO ESS maintains its small box-shaped design and has a large metal volume knob that fits perfectly with the aluminum front panel.

As a novelty, we find an RGB light indicator that surrounds the volume wheel and that lights up with different colors according to the sampling frequency being played, giving a fresh and minimalist touch to the device.

The body is designed in aluminum through CNC and finished with anodizing and fine sandblasting to obtain a smooth but textured casing. Its compact dimensions mean that it does not take up much space and is ideal for placing on the desk.

Along with its variety of digital inputs, the K5 PRO ESS features an analog RCA line input that is more robust and less prone to breakage than the 3.5mm line input, and which also has better resolution.

As if that were not enough, the K5 PRO ESS is the perfect companion for your Hi-Res player, functioning as a dock so that your audio achieves lossless decoding.
