I'm using this Fosi k5 pro with the Dt 1990 pro both on Ps5 and on Pc, and they sound really good. In my opinion this Dac Amp manages to drive the 250 ohms of the dt 1990 pro so good
Really eh? I just purchased this dac amp and get it tomorrow. Have been eyeing the dt 1990s for them. Good to know. Any other intel regarding that combo?
Agree. I feel it’s really good value for the money and I like the mid range elevation.
Let us know what you think.
Hi!
Tell, plz, is this AMP good for music on PC? I bought Philips SHP 9500 and pc's standard Audio cheap (Realtek on motherboard) doesn't give good sound quality.
And is it possible to connect this amp to pc via only usb (without another components)?
@@797Ismail797 it's maybe late but yes it will do
same size as my
Douk Audio NS-04G mini amp, it will make a nice combo. deffo getting one.
Nice one.
Hey love that you’re reviewing these. Saw these come up in my hunt for a budget dac/amp combo that can double for gaming/wfh video calls and this looks like it’ll do the trick. Thanks!
I'm happy with it. Hope it suits your needs too.
I've heard that this DAC works great without any latency with mic monitoring/sidetone (activated in the Windows Audio settings). Is this something you or any other can confirm? I have the Drop/Sennheiser PC38x and would like to use sidetone for gaming.
Hi, I have a Marantz CD6005 cd player, can I connect using coaxial cable from the Marantz to the coaxial input on the Fosi K5 Pro?
Sorry to bother you, but I've recently bought this Amp/DAC and I'm really struggling to get it working properly. I'm trying to use DT990 Pro (250ohm) headphones, I have all of my sounds, apps and amp included at 100 it's still too quiet. When you used your 250ohm headphones, how did you have the Amp set up? I'm using just the USB-C connection, is that incorrect?
Sorry for bothering you, looked online and couldn't find answers.
Can this dac run he400se
For the price is a must have. I use it on my ps5.
while using the splitter for headset, was the left/right channels sounding correct? Or there were some issue?
Because previously i used generic splitter in pc right channel didnt worked that's why
Can I connect this to a pre amp or should I connect to an amp? Bought a pair of 599's and connected them to the k5. I set the treble and bass knobs at 0 (12 o' clock) and the headphones sounded low and muddy. After listening for about 45 mins straight I did not like the audio and was wondering if they needed more power or if the headphones themselves are meant to sound like that.
Thx.
Awesome video, thank you for putting this together. If I may ask, would you recommend the Fosi K5 Pro over the Schiit Hel 2E? I'm wondering if the PS5 has enough "juice" to power the Amp/DAC and drive the Dt 1990. All the best.
Do t have the Shiit to compare. Somewhere on this channel might though. I agree, the DT 1990 will want something like the k5 or similar to make them really perform.
will this work for audio out from a samsung smart tv ?
I have the older model I think it’s called (Q5) with only the headphone jack no mic. I bought it to drive the G pro X to it limits and it made the headset even more powerful and A LOT clearer. plus i hate softwares and this DAC surly doesn’t need one.
Edit: fyi using optical will make you set the sound to 192khz in PC while in usb it will be 48khz. I don’t know if the new model gave it a chance with the usb c. Mine is old with 2 usbs one for power other for sound.
Thanks for the tip.
Can you used self amplified PC speakers through the headphone jack?
is the mic input stereo in this device?
hey hey
can i connect my edifier mr4?
!wpww! xo thanks man for the post!

Yes to all those questions.
I would have loved to see 2 USB inputs so you can run PC and PS5 and just switch to whichever you wanted to use at the time
They might have a unit that answers that need.
Hello there. What do you think of KZ ZAX with FOSI K5 PRO? I heard there are issues with the mic for the KZ Pro from other videos.... EPOS GSX 300 or Fosi K5 Pro?
Have them both - haven’t tried them. Haven’t had mic issues but use it mostly for Cans and less for mic use.
can you only hear one input at a time ?
I'm having issues with my seinheiser game one headphone/mic and discord. My voice input is very low and I have gone through all my windows 11 volume controls and discord, everything is maxed out, mic is close to my mouth but still people can't hear me loud enough. It is very frustrating. Would this K5 pro help improve my voice volume output?
I recently bought some sennheiser HD560s for my ps5 and they armt loud enough so ima prolly cop this . Which would you say . This one or schiit fulla
Either are good brands. Although, I don’t have the fulla to compare.
Hi, great review. Can you tell if the unit is heating up top? I would like to mount it under my desk :)
It hasn't for me. Right now it's been on my desk playing for a little over 1 hour and no heat output, not even warm.
@@MakeLifeClick Ha, class D, gotta love 'em 😉 Great, thx.
What connection is the best to use when connecting to the PC since it has so many? Do they all deliver same quality?
They won’t necessarily all have the same quality, but of course USB is the easiest.
hello i have a question can i plug presonus eris e3.5 2nd gen to Fosi Audio K5 Pro Gaming DAC.
i want to connect speakers with RCA cable to the amp
I don't want to burn any of these devices and I don't know anything about units, hence my question: if the amplifier is too weak, what power should it have?
hello, youtuber, will this thing be a good combo to monitor 80 and vmoda boompro? also can you tell me if boompro will work with monitor 80? thanks in advance
This will be a good combo. The Monitor 80 does have a slightly sunk 3.5mm plug so you'll just want to be sure the boompro doesn't have a fat plug grip on it. I think it would be OK looking at the photos but don't own the boompro to test.
can you connect a mobilephone to it?
Hi, my headphone is Philips Fidelio X1S and my Microphone is V-Moda BoomPro. I'm planning to get that Amp Dac Fosi K5 Pro. What are your thoughts for my setup?
Great headphones! The K5 would be great with that set up. Affordable but will lift the X1S nicely.
@@MakeLifeClick thank you so much!
Can I use this with a fifine usb/xlr microphone and a set of 3.5mm IEMS?
Yup. For sure.
do you think this is good enough to boost volume for hearing impaired such as myself? my PC at Max Volume is super low for me, bought an audio amplifier (works great with OneOdio Headphones, no distortion) but didnt read far enought to see that it doesnt support headset mics.
Yes.
what headphones exactly did you buy? I have oneodio monitor 80. just bought it recently and ordered boompro. you saying I wont be able to use it?(
@@holdonL i have both the Studio pro 10 and A71. I didn't purchase the fosi yet but I don't believe the headset boom pro would work on this. Both 3.5 jacks are TRS. What u need is TRRS that support BOTH mic and audio in one jack. I've yet to find such amplifier that supports it. So ur better off getting a separate non-headset mic. (Like a USB or 3.5 mic only jack) u could still use it tho, i have an ESync Amplifier purchased on Amazon, the way i did it is I plug in the boom pro into the input jack and the audio cable (comes with it) In the output port of the amplifier. It worked that way because the mic doesn't go thru the amplifier box. The unfortunate part of it that it's not on your headphones as intended.
@@JCA11 but if I use a splitter that comes with boompro or amp should I be fine? I will have the 2 mini jacks for mic and audio separate
@@holdonL haven't thought of a splitter, try it and let us know if it works on this.
will the fosi k5 pro gaming work on the dt 990 pro 250 OHM??
Yes. Up to 300 ohms.
How do you switch from Headphone to RCA out?
Old coment, but here we go. You have to unplug the headphone, as the RCA out gets muted, if a headphone is pluged in.
I’m a music producer but I do have one question for anybody willing to answer.
I have a Cadillac with the 36 speaker Bose panaray system that allows up to 24 bit - 96 kHz FLAC files to be played through the infotainment system, I also have an iPhone 13 with Apple Music lossless (16 bit CD) quality & 24 bit (Studio quality) ALAC output, if I use the fosi K5 pro to pass through connect my iPhone to the fosi onto the infotainment, will it have a true 24 bit output coming from the speakers?
I don’t see why not but how will you power the Fosi?
when using this with headset plugged in, do you still get to use the 'enhancement tab' in Windows sound settings?
Sorry. Unsure. Hopefully someone here knows.
Yes
Just bought dt990 pro 250 ohm and I am looking for an amp + I’m not willing to spend that much money on it. Is there a better option than this?
This is the best one for the money. I've looked around and there aren't any good amps or DACs for cheaper than this
Have u tried connecting this unit to a stereo amplifier or receiver?
No that’s not a need I have but I’m sure it would do okay. It’s just such a nice desktop size.
my friends have said my microphone sounds worse after using this dac, is there a way to change it or remedy it?
This is because it rolls off heavily in the bass and treble, I measured it and its quite poor indeed
Thank you for this video!! I would like to ask that Which one do you suggest Fiio K5 Pro or Fosi K5 pro for Sennheiser HD600 ? Thank you!
Hmmm, don’t have the FiiO to compare. I do like FiiO a lot too.
can i use any usb c for this dac?
Yup.
Does it have sidetone?
Not that I’ve experienced.
Microfone do hyper x HX-HSCL/NA não funcionou nele 😔😭
Did you use the splitter included in the box for it? That's really odd if the hyper X has a dedicated mic on them.
Você usou o divisor incluído na caixa para isso? Isso é realmente estranho se o hyper X tiver um microfone dedicado neles.
Can i use these with my speakers?
Hey, u can?
Has anyone tried connecting with older gaming consoles like a ps3?
Does this work on the he400se?
Yes. With the 3.5mm plug.
Wouldn't recommend this, this dac is down 5dB in the bass
Topping dx3 pro plus vs fosi k5
What you think.
I have dt 1990 pro
I don’t have the topping to compare but hopefully someone in the community does.
PS - nice cans. 😉
