I was stunned by the audio quality of this DAC, except the output is not properly flat unless the bass tone is set to around 2 oclock and the treble set at around 1 oclock. Then it measures flat.
Good day. I connected the K5 to my PC via USB 3.2 Gen 2. With the enclosed cable. If I set the format to the highest level (24b/96hz), it sets irregularly, independently to 48hz in the Windows 11 Settings. Why? And what can I do about it? My Board: Aorus B560M Elite.

Hello, I bought a Fosi Audio K5 Pro from Amazon, and the box was opened and I found that there was no otg cable, but there was a charger wire prepared like today’s rounds. The problem is that when I connected the wire to my laptop, I found that there was no optical audio input, and I only went for this I connected the device to my laptop via USB, and I connected my DT-770 headphones, but I do not find that there is a big difference between the 3.5 input in my laptop and the Fosi Audio K5 Pro

Hello , I saw this dac works with creative speaker from other TH-cam channel. Does this dac helps to improve audio quality without any distorted sound? Can I use this dac to connect creative t60 which lacks treble n bass control ? Please let me know. Thanks
I bought this DAC and happy with it. On the PC via type-c all is good. Via optical connection to TV all is good too. But i can't understand one moment: i connected it to PS5 via type-c and volume level is not high. In options of console the volume line is maximum. I wrote this theme to your e-mail and got the answer, that SONY limits the output power via USB-A/Type-C. Why does SONY make it, i don't know 😃.
Yes, Sony may have restricted the output power of the consoles' USB ports. We found the PS5 Chinese version's type-A port cannot even power on our K5 Pro. Only type-c port can.😂
so if i buy this can i connect it to the ps5 the way they show us in the video also i have the audeze lcd gx will i get good volume and will it work for my set up?
Hello! I want to buy the Fosi Audio K5 Pro Gaming DAC for my PS5. Can I ask you 1 question: the PS5 supports "3D Headpone Audio" (a binaural rendering effect for stereo headphones). If I use the Fosi Audio DAC can I still use the PS5's "3D Headphone Audio" effect? Thank you!
@@fosiaudio I understand your answer about comparing these two DACs. But I would like to ask you to answer in more detail. I don't want to take Q6 - I want to choose from Q5 and K 5 pro mini. Of these two options. I like the K5 pro mini version better. But nowhere is there any information about the chips that are used in it (except for one - NE5532). If you compare them directly - what are the pros and cons of one and what are the pros and cons of the other? Are the chips used in the K5 pro mini better or worse than the ones used in the Q5? What will be the difference? Because, you see, the answer that one is for headphones and the other for games is not entirely clear ...Thank you.
Hello there. I'm in the market for a DAC/AMP for games. Any compatibility issues with the microphone? There are TH-cam videos and comments regarding microphone issues. I really hope that's not the case as this would surely fit my needs for a DAC/AMP.
I'm experiencing this mic problem with echo thing. I'm really disappointed because I don't know how to fix it. I followed the steps and guide very well and when I open my mic everyone in chat hears their voice very loud (echo) and I have to mute myself. What is the fix please.
Can I connect my Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite [SM-T220] to K5 Pro through the tab's USB-C port (using a USB-C-to-USB-C cable) and output to a pair of active bookshelf speakers and 50Ω headphones? (K5 Pro is in my shopping cart, waiting :-) )

I have a laptop and PS5 that both connect to monitor via usb. Can you tell me what I have to do to connect my devices to K5 pro? Do the usb c port from monitor can do all the job as audio output then I plugged in to k5 pro? Or my laptop and ps5 connect to K5 pro from different port? I.e. PS5 via usb C, laptop via optical?
To connect your PS5 to the monitor using the K5 Pro, follow these steps: Connect the PS5 to the monitor using an HDMI cable. Connect the K5 Pro to any USB port on PS5 using a USB Type-C cable. On the K5 Pro, select "USB mode." On the PS5, go to "Sound Settings" and select "Output Device." Choose "Fosi Audio K5 Pro" as the output device.
