Pair it with an old iPad and your HiFi. - I've assembled a budget HiFi system using an old iPad. The internal DAC had a bunch of noise when using the internal 35mm headphone jack at certain frequencies. After some research I found this little gem. It plays my CD quality library flawlessly through to a Fosi Audio TB10D amplifier. It sounds fantastic through some significant Yamaha tower speakers. Review: Incredibly portable, and a noticeable sound change for me - It was smaller than I expected, but the screen is easy to read and easy to understand, and the cable can be unplugged in case it breaks, on my phone, an iPhone 14 pro max, the official Apple dongles sounded worse than this, and the cable for the old dongle was very weak and id go through them once every two months or so, but the cable for the KA5 has a braided sheath, and it adds an extra layer of protection for the cable, and the DAC feels ver durable in the hand, the glass is recessed for protection, within the metal body, and the controls are easy to use, and all the cables you need are in the box, listening to it, it makes it so you can play music loud, and hear the distinction of different objects in a song, the bass gets punchier, the guitars get more clear and distinct, the voices in a song feel like they fit with the song, and not one single instrument feels like its overpowering, and it just seems like they just got more distinct and clear-er, in my final notes, ive gotta say, its a very good device ## Features - Unit count: 1.0 - Age range description: Adult - Brand: FIIO - Best in Quality ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BY2Y1NHB | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #54,500 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #99 in Headphone Amps | | Cable Feature | Detachable | | Compatible Devices | desktops,cellphones | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Control Method | Touch | | Control Type | Volume Control | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (277) | | Date First Available | March 23, 2023 | | Headphones Jack | 3.5 mm Jack | | Included Components | Cable | | Item Weight | 3.84 ounces | | Item model number | KA5 | | Manufacturer | FiiO | | Material | Plastic | | Model Name | KA5 | | Noise Control | Active Noise Cancellation | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 2.11 x 0.87 x 0.47 inches | | Recommended Uses For Product | Audio Monitoring, Recording, Gaming, Mobile Device Use, Professional Audio Use | | Special Feature | Lightweight | | Style | Modern | | Units | 1.0 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** FiiO - **Color:** Black - **Ear Placement:** Over Ear - **Form Factor:** No - **Impedance:** 0.3 Ohms ## Images ![KA5 USB DAC Headphone Amp with 3.5mm and 4.4mm Outputs - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41EP4TVfWKL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: is this gonna sound better than fiio q3 origial?** A: Never had the Q3,but I have the thx onyx which cost around $70 more the sound is comparable. The onyx is more smoother and ethereal, but the fiio hangs and it's way more versatile and technical. Can't beat the price and mainly got it for the inclusion of 4.4 balanced output. The app is also top notch. **Q: How long does it take to charge the KA5 up?** A: It doesn’t have a battery. It uses you phone/tablet/pc/Mac energy to work. **Q: apple ios updates: Can you load firmware updates if you only have an ios system?** A: My KA5 refuses to work with iOS (iPhone SE and iPhone 12). Very disappointing. About the update: the firmware update can only be done on a Windows computer. Sad, but true. **Q: What kind of cable come with it?** A: USB c to USB c, usb c to Lightning ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing DAC.

Not so much on my Galaxy S23. It tends to drop and not reconnect. When it works, you get a nice boost from your headphones. Im using AudioTechnica ATH-M50x and they sound great. ## Frequently Bought Together - FIIO KA5 USB DAC Headphone Amp with 3.5mm and 4.4mm Outputs - FIIO FH7S in-Ear Earphones High-Performance 1DD+4BA Hybrid Technology IEM Earbuds with 3.5/4.4mm Plug --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/520207246-ka5-usb-dac-headphone-amp-with-3-5mm-and-4](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/520207246-ka5-usb-dac-headphone-amp-with-3-5mm-and-4) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
