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'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

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)?

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.

@MakeLifeClick

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

For the price is a must have. I use it on my ps5.

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 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.

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.

@@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.
