5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Deal for a DAC / headphone Amplifier
I have used iBuds Pro, Shure SE215 in-ears, Sennheiser HD 650, AKG K553 MKII and a group of cheap earbuds. The Fosi improved the clarity and separation of the sound coming from my Mac and made all of the headphones sound better and it handled them all well. I was able to pick up subtle nuances and sounds that I had not heard listening straight from the Mac sound card. It does not sound as good as my Universal Audio interface, but I wasn't expecting it to for less than 10th of the price. It does sound amazing though and is hitting way above it cost. It is a quality built metal chassis, small form, Volume, Bass and Treble buttons that I love. I like tinkering with the sound depending on the song and this makes it very easy. Volume boost is good and can get loud without distorting. It's not blow your ears loud, but definitely louder than the Mac by itself. I am glad I found this, it made listening to my computer and phone much more pleasurable and is small enough to take with me.
5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a normal, working, affordable DAC
I've gone through a bunch of DACs and so many have had issues. This one just works normally like you'd expect it to work. It also allows bass and treble to be controlled independently which is nice. No static or other sound glitches. Good crisp quality. I'm just frustrated I had to go through so many DACs before I found one the works like normal.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great DAC, minor upgrade from the Q4
I have had the Q4 model for a few years, used via USB on my PC.Needed a 2nd DAC to use via Optical from my new Samsung TV, since using a USB DAC on it has been full of issues.Saw this new model, the K5 Pro "Gaming" DAC, and it states it is better than the Q4, better soundstage, more amplification ability etc. I do not care about the Mic input.This DAC is different in design/function from the Q4 in that it does not have a switch to toggle modes, you have to short press the Volume Knob to change modes, long press toggles power. If the DAC looses power/USB connection, it always reverts to powering on to USB input.The knobs are a tiny bit bigger than the Q4's, but are much smoother to adjust. Really like the feel of them. They are all silver and you can not see the line marker on the dial, but a bit of black marker in the line helps with that.I agree with a couple of the reviews here already, the knobs are just too close to each other. Really wish they spaced them out a tad bit more. Also, make the volume knob a bit larger than the other 2.There is Deathbeam BLUE LED that is on that shows what mode it is in. Covered that with black tape. There was no such LED on the Q4.Sound compared to the Q4. The K5 Pro is a bit brighter, with a bit wider soundstage.It has much great amplification ability.The Bass and Treble knobs as well, have a higher amplification ability. (you can add more bass/treble that the Q4).The Bass EQ curve is very wide, also boosting mid-bass to high bass bands. (same with the Q4)The Treble, again wide curve, much more boost with the high-Treble freq bands (10kHz+), as a noticeable hiss and sharpness appears at higher range of the knob.I prefer sub-bass/low-bass boost, and while, the K5 Pro and the Q4 Bass Knob does apply a boost in that spectrum, it muddys up the bass a bit, since it also boosts the high bass (over 80Hz). So it a tad more punchy bass sound that deep sub bass. My other portable DAC (qudelix 5K) has a full software EQ in its app, so i am used to that fine adjustment. But I find the Fosi acceptable enough with the bass heavy headphones i use (SkullCandy Crusher Evo).Overall, the K5 Pro DAC is a mild upgrade from the Q4. If you really need a mic input, and like that it can single USB cable for both power and data connection, it is a more worth it upgrade.
5.0 out of 5 stars Does it's job, and more!
Absolutely Satisfactory. Not only does it power the headphones at 300 Ohms and above that I purchased it for, the Treble and Bass knobs are exceptional. They don't just raise or lower entire spectrums flat, but in the Treble knob serves to increase clarity without making things sharp while the Bass knob increases Bass without making it destroy the mix! Even when used in a car, all things above apply, turning mediocre car stereos into something truly special. Don't even think about purchasing this product, just do it! You will absolutely be pleasantly surprised!
1.0 out of 5 stars Do Not Recommend
I have used this DAC for a little over 3 months now. At least once per day it will randomly shut off. At first i gave it the benefit of the doubt and assumed it was something with the power cable and/or my PC. After 3 months of trouble shooting, powering it from a separate USB port (not from my PC) and using other cables etc. It still shuts off intermittently. Now it has shut off and I cannot get it to turn back on no matter what i try. I just recently got it turned on and a prompt on my PC came on to say "the usb device has malfunctioned and cannot be recognized by windows" and now it seems i have a little $60 black brick to look at.
Ótimo DAC/AMP
Um ótimo DAC/AMP! Ótima alternativa para quem ta começando ou não tem uma grana imensa para comprar os mais potentes! Recomendo.
Buen equipo para mejorar calidad de audio en sony genezi
Compre este dac para conectar un tv sin salida Aux a través de la salida de audio óptico, las tv sony 2023 por alguna razón ya no traen salida Aux, averiguándo equipos me decidí por este fosi k5 para poder conectar mi tv a mi estero sony genezi gtx88, de la salida Optica de la tv lo conecte a la entrada óptica del dac fosi k5 y del fosi a mi Estereo sony genezi lo conecte a través de la salida de rca. El audio mejoro notablemente y lo mejor es que se puede ecualizar los graves y agudos esto es un plus para los que tenemos estéreos antiguos y los botones ya no responden, con este fosi se puede ecualizar independientemente del estéreo. Es un gran equipo, no es voluminoso por lo que se puede instalar en cualquier sitio. Como fuente de energía ocupe conectarlo directamente a la toma de corriente de pared, ya que al querer conectarlo vía usb directo a la tv si encendía el dac fosi pero mi tv sony lo detectaba como si le hubiera conectado unos auriculares y eso hacía como que hubiera una interferencia en cuanto al tipo de señal que salía y como que el equipo fosi se confundía, es decir no sacaba sonido aun estando en optico y ajustando la tv a audio pcm. Esto se solucionó conectando el equipo directamente a la toma de corriente de pared, lo mencionó porque solo trae el cable usb c pero no incluye el conector o enchufe (México) aunque eso se consigue fácil. Los materiales son de calidad y robustos con diseño elgante. Lo único que le faltaría a este fosi k5 y al fosi q4 es que tuvieran Bluetooth Rx/Rx y serían los equipos perfectos. Los recomiendo mucho. Los cables usb c , cable óptico y el adaptador Aux para micrófono se ven de buena calidad, sobre todo el optico se ve más grueso que los normales, incluso se parece a los cables ópticos que traen los equipos bose, no así el cable rca, el cable rca que viene si se ve chafa de mal calidad, si vas a ocupar cable rca mejor cómprate uno de mejor calidad como ugreen. Excelente compra, lo recomiendo.
Outstanding Quality
Purchased this audio DAC because i was excited to see that FOSI AUDIO had just come out with a DAC that included headphone microphone input. I was an early adopter of this product and actually paid a premium price through Bolo USA, shipped to Canada. I knew the similar FOSI Q4 had an excellent reputation for sound quality but unfortunately did not suit me because of the lack of microphone input.In come the FOSI AUDIO K5 MINI PRO.. I had to give this DAC a try. As soon as you handle this product you know you are getting a quality piece of equipment. Setup is easy, all you do is plug it into your computers USB port. No driver install, just tell your computer to play the audio from the device in your sound setup. Even comes with a dongle to allow for a combined audio/mic headphone set to plug into the separate jacks on the device.Audio quality - 10/10 excellent and an absolute steal for the asking price that I am now seeing on Bolo as of DEC 29/2022Microphone quality - 10/10 If you online game your friends are going to think you have a very fancy microphone with this DACs ability to amplify the microphone input. It can be almost too clear and loud on some headsets but this can be adjusted in the windows input microphone level settings and turned down.I did need to get support from FOSI and they immediately and quickly helped me with my advanced technical question and had my device working well with all my equipment. (I use quite a few different headphones w/mics and had an issue with one of them which FOSI solved)This K5 MINI PRO is on par with some of the very expensive DACS out there.There is only two features I wish that FOSI would add. Some sort of "go to sleep mode" and "auto wakeup on sensing sound" to have this unit automatically turn off after say 30min of inactivity and wake itself when needed. The other would be a volume adjuster for the microphone input. These are just wishes to make an already excellent product even better.You will not be disappointed with this product.
