Currently stuck between the choice of either- FiiO K5 Pro OR Audioengine D1.
Both are very similar price point in Australia and unsure if there is a definite “better” choice.
Any input would be appreciated.
Current headphones are Audio Technicas AD700x and HyperX Cloud Revolver S.
Both predominately used for gaming
I think the k5 pro is the better product imo. I think it’s the cleaner amp and overall better deal. Also prefer the dac in the k5 pro as well. I think the d1 is somewhat outdated at this point in comparison
Are you using motherboard audio or a phone currently? You should notice a good improvement, and it also opens up future headphone upgrade options that are harder to drive
Currently have an external sound card, Creative Soundblaster 1095. Comes with alot of software junk and seems to be causing some latency issues when using a Launchpad for music.
I can definitely see a headphone upgrade in the future now with the DAC and amp upgrade
