However, I don’t recommend using the tone controls to their extremes. I noticed that maximum bass volume will introduce mild distortion. It comes with a pretty standard aluminium shell, however it is tastefully finished with the front facade perfectly matching the body and the text is fairly well subdued on a grey/silver version. The Fosi K5 Pro is a good little box that offers decent performance at a very reasonable price point. The obvious question that I think people will ask is how it fairs against something like the iFi UNO, which is priced similarly and is by a brand that is probably better known in the audio realm. Please change the power supply adaptation and retest; why? Because of the aging of the power supply, there may be an abnormal power supply resulting in white noise. We recommend using the PC-USB port/5V power adapter to power it.

First up is the FX-Audio DAC-X6 Mini. This particular headphone amp gives you great quality sound but at a more affordable price than with some competitive models. No special software, app, or driver to install, a true plug-and-play digital audio adapter. with bass and treble control, can be used as a preamp or volume controller for your PC/MAC/Computer.Then we have the final function that I feel is missing from the majority of devices in the budget category, a microphone input. This allows you to use headphones of your choice, with or without a microphone, and even add something like a boom mic if you wish. This is something that makes the K5 Pro a very interesting option for gamers and even for those who do a lot of calls from their PC.

I watch all CheapAudioMan videos. I enjoy him and I find some of his videos worth the watch, but I think that if either of the units he thrashed above were US made, then he might have something different to say. The FX-Audio DAC-X6 Mini comes with a range of input and output options so that you can use it for a variety of purposes. It includes PC-USB, optical fiber, and coaxial three inputs. It can easily be connected to DCD, DVD, and TV set-top box. In terms of output, the headphone amp features RAC, 6.35mm headphone port 2, and it can also be connected to an active speaker, tube vacuum amp, and a power amplifier.NOTE: Due to different TV types, some TVs default Dolby or DTS sound output, Q4 DOES NOT support Dolby and DTS sound, please select RAW/PCM sound; otherwise, you will hear a lot of noise or no sound output.) There are some reports online as well ( video) that the power cable connector can arc, so the suggestion is to of course plug the unit into the PSU before turning on. I believe this is mentioned in the manual too... This particular headphone amp allows you to maximize the performance of your headphones. It features true balanced inputs and outputs to minimize audio interference and allow you to enjoy high quality audio. This will be essential if you want to make the most out of your headphones. In my opinion this is more than enough for most headphones, as demonstrated by it easily ‘correcting’ the notorious SA3000. Another handy thing about this particular headphone amp is that it’s pretty much plug and play. You won’t need to install any complicated hardware before you can use it. You can use it pretty much straight out of the box to help you get the most out of your headphones. Its compact nature also aids its portability.
