Looks really modern now. Thought of getting the balanced flex to highpass my LS50 and apply room correction without the need of a PC

NX7 with DAC and BT? <250$ I hope

Tried to find out the power output. Found the manual online. Tiny bit less powerful with 1200mW compared to the NX7 with 1400mW but still impressive with more power than a iFi gryphon.
No bass boost or something…Maybe it comes with an app for EQ…Guess that’s too much to ask for.

(wrong preview picture)

Measured 14.0cm x 7.0crn x1.8cm
Weight 265g
Power input DC5V/1 .2A (USB TypeC port)
Signal input USB/BT/AUX
Line out output 3 5mm headphone output jack
Headphone amp output 3.5mm headphone output jack, 4.4mm headphone output jack
Battery capacity 4000mAh
Charge time <5H
Playback time USB G=L/M >9H
G=H >6.5H
G=L/M >10H
BT
G=H >8H
AUX G=L/M >25H
G=H >13H

USB IN PCM 44.1kHz-768kHz/16bit-32bit
DSD DSD64-DSD512 (Native), DSD64-DSD256 (DoP)
BT IN AAC/SBC/APTX/APTX LL/APTX HD/APTX-Adaptive/LDAC

|Output Power|
1000mW x 2 @16 THD+N<0.1%|
| — | — |
|1200mW x 2 @32 THD+N<0.1%|
|720mW x 2 @64 THD+N<0.1%

A xDuoo poke II with 700mW (over balanced) is priced at $400, the Gryphon $600. Wouldn’t be surprised if the G5 will be around ~$400 too.

Enter pairing mode: Switch Gain L→ M→L→M→L→M within 5 seconds, status indicator flashes to mean G5 has entered pairing mode. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Edit one day later:

( TLDR: 119dB SINAD, 153mW 300 Ohm, 1020mW 32 Ohm )

You may be right unfortunately I suppose

If they manage to squeeze it at ~300 USD, I’d still think it’s fair for a product with this much power and features.

Seems heavy, but sound is still king. Hopefully doesnt break the bank…

It looks HUGE though. Surprised a chinese company came out with that.

only part that actually looks like plastic is the headband adjustment part rest looks like wood and metal

time will tell…

I think it looks pretty nice! At least it doesn’t look like so many other headphones. It has it’s own style. I can definitely respect that.

Feels like someone heard me :laughing:, Topping G5 on Apos is 300$.

Looks very shite. Would give it $50 value max (base don this render and design).

Fiio makes linear power supplies now. Don’t know much about these things, tried to figure out with which devices this thing is compatible because the connection looks weird.

Looks like it’s using a specific barrel plug, likely one that is compatible with their own amps etc
