is very different.

K5 Pro is a desktop headphone power amplifier with both decoding and amplification functions.has strong output poweris enough to push most multi-unit headphones and headphones.

1. K5 Pro

Like other upgraded products, most of Feiao's newly upgraded products can find prototypes in existing products. The predecessor of K5 Pro is the exclusive car of Feiao Player -- K5, which is a pure earpiece without decoding function.

what are the characteristics of the previous generation K5? Here is a brief introduction:

1. The 11pin USB interface is specially defined on the base to realize audio transmission amplification and linkage on/off with the Feiao player;

2. The output capability of the earpiece is amazing, and the performance is excellent enough. After matching with the player, the driving capability and sound quality are obviously improved;

3, third-gear hardware gain, different types and sensitivity of headphones can be well adapted.

Obviously, K5 with the above features can only play the best level with Feiao player. But with the popularity of TYPE C interface,The player interface has gradually changed from Micro USB to Type C,and the C port does not leave many customizable contacts, so K5 is no longer suitable for the new generation of Type C interface players.

In order to continue the unique positioning and high-performance design of K5, we have planned an upgraded version based on K5 and added decoding function.

can the upgraded K5 Pro be perfectly matched with Feiao player without DOCK interface? The answer is definitely yes!

Since K5 Pro is powered by a DC adapter,USB port will not consume current,Therefore, only a Feiao customized Type C to USB B cable is needed to transmit and decode lossless and push the big ear with high power. If you want to add a little sense of ceremony and match Feiao's upcoming new DK1(Type C version) base, you can rediscover the "car" for the player ".

can be seen,K5 Pro can not only match computers with professional desktop decoding earphones, but also connect players (even mobile phones) through digital audio interfaces., so that users can experience the convenience and pleasure brought by multi-gain and high thrust, which is really more than one machine!

2. pure desktop product positioning

In an audio system, the most commonly used functions are probably these: wireless transmission, storage, playback, digital & analog I/O, decoding, amplification and other custom combinations. Therefore, in Feiao's huge product line, it is inevitable that there will be a certain function overlap between individual products. We mentioned in the last article introducing Q5s that the player M11 and the decoding ear Q5s have decoding commonalities and differences. So, this time we will use similar thinking to discuss:the similarities and differences between K5 Pro and K3 for desktop decoding.

First of all, the positioning of the two products does not coincide.K5 Pro is a desktop only, while K3 is positioned to be movable.(Q series with similar functions are portable). K5 Pro is powered by a power adapter, and the output power of 1.5W (under 32 Ω) is sufficient to cope with the large ears of the head, so the positioning is biased towards the desktop for fixed and matching use. K3, on the other hand, uses convenient USB power supply, is smaller in size, and is positioned to be portable for many occasions.

Second, K5 Pro and K3 have different interfaces.K5 Pro has more complete input interfaces,supports USB, fiber, coaxial input decoding and amplification, and RCA LINE IN input amplification. Among them, the low-power design of the USB interface (without taking in the USB port power supply) can ensure that the feasibility of connecting with the mobile phone or player is more extensive. Its main task is to enable users to experience high-power output with more devices.

and K3 emphasizes the diversity of output interfaces.it has optical fiber/coaxial/LINE OUT/dual earphone output, it is more suitable for an audio hub, or USB digital interface. If users do not meet the quality of earphone output, they can use an external decoder/power amplifier/speaker to obtain more music experience.

To sum up, K5 Pro has absolute advantages in the input interface and is suitable for various scenarios on the desktop, providing richer expansion and greater output power for computers/large headphones/active speakers.

3. usage scenario display

K5 Pro continues K5 's excellent amplifier circuit, highlighting its powerful ear placement performance. Its rich input interface can be matched with all computers and portable audio equipment, and then get greater thrust and sound quality improvement. If you have one of the following situations, you can experience the "big difference" of K5 Pro ":

K5 Pro (USB input file) is used as the computer USB DAC to promote the big ear

K5 Pro (USB input file) uses Type C to USB B square cable, and uses USB decoding with player M9 to push the big ear

K5 Pro (SPDIF input file) L21 coaxial line, which is matched with player M5 to push the big ear

K5 Pro(LINE IN input file) uses 3.5 to RCA and works with M11.
