damn, I don’t think they even ran the k5 pro for a full year. Wonder what happened.
hopefully they come out with a fiio k5 pro k
Actually the K5 is discontinued but not the K5 Pro? 
It still looks like it’s discontinued.
Looking at FiiO’s site it doesn’t seem to be discontinued.
About availability on amazon, back when I bought mine I had to watch the product page constantly because when it became available it would sell out in minutes and amazon hides some unavailable products.

its probably just high demand and supply chain not meeting demand. kinda like schiit in EU constantly sold out
This definitely makes more sense. K5 Pro is a neat little thing.
It seems i might be able to make a deal on a Fiio K5 pro, and i was thinking of swapping out my schiit modi3/magni3 to a one box setup. I am however not sure if it will be a good move regadring sound quality as i have never heard it myself, any thoughts?
Also, the line out, is it a fixed “volume” line out, or is it variable (like a pre amp) with the volume knob? (that would be less ideal as i use an integrated amp, the Denon pma-600ne, in that setup and would like to control the volume with the integrated amp, not the “dac”)
The stupid thing is, they wrote “line out”, but it’s a “pre out” (variable, with the volume knob).
Line out is supposed to mean 100% volume and not variable.
Pre out is supposed to mean variable, controlled with a knob on the device.

Thanks!
That confirmed my suspicion… The web store i looking at state line out, but later they where pretty ambiguous about the effect of the volume knob 
It might sound better/different than my schiit stack, but for me “pre out” is not a good solution, so i’ll pass on the offer i had… also, looking at what it costs else where it wasn’t that good an offer anyway
