FiiO K5 PRO ESS, a fresh start

0The FiiO K5 PRO ESS is the new version of the legendary FiiO K5 PRO with integrated high-performance DAC and new features to serve the user.



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.

Born to decode

1In 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 up to 768kHz and native DSD decoding.


For the best sound quality and no matter 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, for connecting various music players and digital interfaces.

Better sound quality

2The FiiO K5 PRO ESS reaches new heights in terms of sound. It integrates a high-performance Sabre ES9038Q2M DAC with 32-bit processing, which together with the XMOS chip form a unique package in its price range.



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

Maximum performance amplifier

3If 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 circuitry is capable of delivering outstanding 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.

Safe power supply

4The 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 outstanding sound in a high-performance device.

Precise controls

5The 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 to your ears.

Personality and essence are maintained

6Following in the wake of the previous model, this K5 PRO ESS maintains its design in the shape of a small box 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 lights up with different colors according to the playing sampling frequency, 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 make it space-saving and ideal for desktop use.

Much more than headphones

7Along 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 also has better resolution.



To top it off, the K5 PRO ESS is the perfect companion to your Hi-Res player functioning as a dock for your audio to achieve lossless decoding.

Estupendo, lo tengo hace tiempo, al mejorarle la alimentación con una fuente de 15v algo mejor, es fantástico, va con la máxima resolución con mucha calidad.

El servicio de Zococity excelente. Un 20% más barato que en Amazon, envio gratis y en un par de dias en casa.
Respecto al DAC en mi opinion cumple de sobra. Lo he enchufado a una Raspberry Pi con Volumio y ha sido 100% plug and play.
Qobuz con 24bit/96kHz suenan increible. He probado hasta DSD256 y como la seda. Con el led del DAC te indica perfectamente que calidad estás reproduciendo.
Tiene ajuste de hasta 3 niveles de ganancia pero en mis auriculares de 70ohm lo puedo tener al nivel más bajo así que entiendo que para cualquiera más dificil de mover iría olgado con los otros dos niveles.
Lo recomiendo al 100%. En su gama de precio creo que no hay nada mejor.

Muy buen producto. Buena calidad de construcción. Lo uso como DAC. Principalmente para pasar archivos hi res a mini disc. El resultado: grabaciones sensacionales.
El asesoramiento y la profesionalidad de Zococity, como siempre, magníficos
