T FiiO KA5 fits in the brand’s Jade Audio sub-category. A sub-brand advertised as a new quality/price queen. But I’ll let the brand’s marketing team explain that for me:

From the review:
The FiiO KA5 is the perfect update to the might-but-sturdy KA3. Sound-wise, it’s better on every level, polishing the previous formula with various enhancements like tougher lows, or a wider but sharper soundstage. And if the sound prowess were not enough already, you can top that with praise-worthy build quality, an excellent screen, a complete bundle, and a conception design that makes it the perfect companion for any of your digital source – heck, it even works on the PS5.
Then the real question would be : this or the iBasso DC04Pro, another great DAC/AMP, equally priced? In my opinion, both excels in their own manner, and if the iBasso seems to outmatch the FiiO in single-ended mode, in balanced mode, they are evenly matched. In terms of ergonomic though, the KA5 clearly takes the edges, thanks to its screen.
So yeah, this new FiiO earns an award too, but if you ask me to choose between the KA5 and DC04Pro, it will be up to your personal tastes, plain and simple. The FiiO KA5 is now featured in our Recommended Buy DAC/AMP list!
You can find the full article here:

Dawn
Nice! Looking for my first DAC, and “free” is definitely in budget.
Abba
Yes very good
Philip Bodenheimer
This dongle would change my life. I managed to get some decent monitor speakers and have the 1/8″ to XLR cable. I just want to bring those babies to life. I have absolutely no money but I have a collection I have saved over the years I want to bring to life. I worked three months for the monitors and it was worth every bit of it. Every source reveals it’s weaknesses extremely “in my face”. They were handmade my babies. They need a source and I will write an honest review back to you if that is okay. I do not work at any audio companies but I have worked in music studios and built MOSfet amps, record players, speakers, and I have seen your specs you achieve so I feel confident, certain actually, that if I had a FiiO Ka5 it would complete my system and allow me to fully enjoy my hi-res music to it’s fullest. I see you are using cirrus! Good choice! The specs are absolutely top in this case but I have seen cirrus chips that sound beautiful with far lower specs, I feel like those chip designers are musicians from what I have gathered looking at their website and listening to proper implementations of their chips in a well known ADC I used named after a feline of sorts in a studio I spent a while inside, being paid in studio time for maintenance jobs I performed.
I am happy to see FiiO achieving such high specs and was comparing measurements on audiosciencereviews website when I noticed your outlying quality at an affordable price along with the size of.your product. I believe in small, precision, low power dacs because I generally feel they are less noisy so I naturally gravitated towards the FiiO Ka5.
Thanks a lot for making a great product for people who are not in a place.to spend a fortune on achieving azing sound quality. Then you are even doing a giveaway.
😉

*on achieving amazing sound

Dheriel Adha Dharmawan
I would love to win this Fiio KA5 giveaway because I’ve longed for good and clean CS43139 implementation, I’ve tried Moonriver2 in the past and let’s just say it is overly overpriced. Hope this one doesn’t let down my taste! Goodluck!

Jérémie MAZZETTO
Hi
I recently bought a k5 pro ess, I love the sound but I’d like a dac/amp device when I travel or go shoot photos
I guess this ka5 can do the trick 😁
Tai Nguyen
Thanks for giveaway. The FIIO KA5 looks absolutely gorgeous. Apparently it’s very popular in China. I love the fact that they were able to put a screen in the dongle this time. It’s super helpful and makes it look more elegant. Spdif out is not a function I will use but it may be useful to others. Also, they include the lightning to C cable, that’s so generous because you usually have to buy it with other brands.
Emmanuel Allan
Such an incredible dongle at that price point and its a big improvement from the previous KA3 version in terms of output power and the new display. You can’t go wrong with Fiio products.
Badee
I have no dac and have only fiio f9pro iem
Andres Gil Correa
I would like to win it to pair it with my fiio fh3.
Karl Lafler
Thanks Headfonia
Tomasz
I’ve been thinking for some time which small DAC to choose. I must admit that I am a beginner in the subject of good audio, and reading and watching a lot of reviews, including many on your website, made my headache is only bigger 😉 We live in times where we can complain about too much choice, winning the competition could make this choice easier for me 😀
Mcowiec
I’ve been searching for a dongle for a while. I need to upgrade my mobile setup.

Nicko Aquino Lim
Hello , good morning, afternoon and evening wherever time you are in as reading this comment.
I have been in this EXPENSIVE Yet ENJOYABLE audio hobby for around 5 years now..
I have own quite a few iem earphones and portable dac , but Sadly have sold most of them due to my Gambling addiction,sad to say.. now I am just left with a single budget iem earphones KZ ZVX. I am now without a portable dac dongle as I have sold them recently to feed on my Gambling habits…
I really hope I can quit this horrible habit of mine.. and Go fully on this Audio hobby of mine. I am Not saying this so that you can pity on me..
I am saying this is because I want to change and be a better person for myself and for everything and everyone around me .
I have never tried Fiio dac portable dac or any of their gadgets as of yet..
And I really hope you nice people can let me have this VERY GORGEOUS FIIO FW5 for me to enjoy listening to my playlist library.
And if it’s really good I will post it on Facebook and Twitter and to all my friends out there.
Really thankfully to have this opportunity to be hopefully able to win this contest.
Thank you guys again for this opportunity!!
Good day!
Warmest regards
Nicko Aquino Lim
Philippines 🥰✌️
IOANNIS kasolis
I am a fiio lover!!!
Charles L.
I personally love the idea of hearing what good sound is, I’ve never gotten to experience it outside of a few instances from my musician grandfather. Having the ability to gave it on a portable scale is quite nice.
Jomel Valencia
I might want to get back into audio. I had a Fiio M6 and it sounds great!
Vincent
Would love to compare this myself against DC04Pro and RU6
Obed Boaz Sanchez
Nice! Hoping to win 🙂
András Rév
Now I have the mighty Meze 109 Pro headphones which shines with a high output source, and I want to try it with the KA5.
Garry Velletri
I really need this. I don’t have a good portable dac/amp. Currently using a Dragonfly red- old. I love FIIO products!
claudius jimmy lie
never try any dongle before, sure there must be the first time for everything.
Araragi
Entering comment to join the giveaway. Just got the IE600 and I’m looking to pair them with a portable DAC that supports both single-ended and balanced outputs.
Clement Strauss
This would replace my apple dongle, that is too weak to on my Android phone.
Adam Szymanski
Love Fiio! Wanna get great sound out of my new phone. Great sound on the go! What could be better?
Jason Xinos
Thanks for the great review!
adam
This DAC can handle Planar IEM?
Mark Megaughin
First comment and all! I was actually eyeing up this unit myself so if I win it then it would be a really nice surprise! Always liked fiios other stuff so I’m sure this little unit will do great
Yotam ivgi
Currently have only one source and would love to diversify and see if I can spot the difference 😉
GLHF all 🙂
Juanito Sampang
I really want to try out a dac and I’m a long time reader of various review pages, I’m very curious of fiio since they do almost all of the audiophile products.
ChrisTerp
Thank you Headfonia for introducing FiiO to me couple months ago. Never heard of them before and enjoying the mainly positive reviews of their products.
Hazizi
Been looking to buy a dongle DAC for ages and this one is top of my list
Jim Laski
Oh, I hope I win!
Stephen Jackson
Both Fiio and Headfonia have been a revelation to me: in showing the quality and enjoyment that can be gained from sources that a couple of years ago we would have had to describe as “the also-rans”. Only now, the world really is our oyster, not least in extracting quality even from the laptops and desktops that might offer our only access to music most of the time.
Keep up the good and scrupulous work.
Zachary Waggoner
Wow, I’m probably going to buy one if I don’t win it
Steven Contreras
I’d love to be able to use this with my next phone to replace my failing V60 for audio when I’m on the go. Good luck everyone!
Johann
I want to win this dongle because I’ve been using a bunch of cheap dongles for quite a while now and this would be a really good upgrade from what i have right now. Cheers and good luck to everyone who joined
Dimitri Bonas
I own couple of products from FIIO, i really love the quality of the products, the great sound and over all workmanship! I always appreciate your great reviews, thank you!

Pavurala Nidhin
I need this Dac/Amp because : so i have 2 iems Tanchjim zero and BGVP DM8, was looking for a dongle to drive them coz my mobole dosent have 3.5mm port crin and everyone on crins server recommended Apple dongle for 10$ so i got them with iems. but volume on it is sooo low using it on android now i cant even use the iems properly. Bgvp atleast gives some sound but zero has super low volume. So this dongle will be helpful for me or else ill have to sell bgvp dm8 and buy a dongle first. Thanks for the oppurtunity Lieven and fiio.
Pavurala Nidhin
I need this because i dont have a dongle that can drive my 2 iems tanchjim zero and bgvp dm8 should’ve gotten a better dongle than apple dongle. But cant get any others now as i spent all money on iems…
*writing this again as my old comment is not being displayed on page
Mashiur Rahaman
I’d be really glad if I could win this dac. It’d be the best dac for my iems.

Fabian Al Amin
I really want to have this new DAC “dongle” because I want to have a new sensation using this professional DAC which is concise and sleek but has good sound like what this review wrote
Swist Na Ranong
With how good Dongle DAC/AMP have come I have some thoughts about if I turn my old smartphone in to DAP with Dongle, this might be a great chance for me to try.
Jimmy Ngai
FiiO’s products are good. Hope I can have a try on this dongle.
Anthony Kimball
I’m looking for a more portable Bluetooth solution than the ifi xCAN I have now, and Fiio makes some of the best out there. Thanks for the opportunity!!
Satrio Pamungkas
I don’t know, but this FiiO KA5 is an upgraded version of the Q11 and the design is also minimalist.
So I want to try my luck in this match
Luke
I would love to win the FiiO KA5, mainly for its portability, as I already own a K7 and it’s not very portable, and FiiO is my favorite brand of audio equipment. I wish everyone the best of luck…
Sonny Tesar
Best of luck guys! Count me in
Konstantinos
I have a lot of FiiO devices but i want this also LOL

Hoping to win, but best of luck to all! 🙂

Nicolas Lossec
Good luck everybody !
Marty
Keen to see how it compares to the dragonfly red : )
Kay Shim
I currently have fiio’s q11, but it is too big to be called portable in my opinion, and lacks here and there.
It would be great to win KA5 as KA5 is more compact, while being able to deliver similar, if not better performance.
Rafael Jose Balaquiao
I’ve always wanted to win something. I’ve used Fiio products before and I love them. I want to win. Thank you.
ROBERTO PASCOAL
I am happy for the opportunity to win a FiiO product.

Daniyar Suleimenov
Very nice!
Yohanes Aditya Nugraha
Been using dc03 pro, curious bout this dongle
Luke P
Looks like a great piece of kit. I owned fiios before, few years ago and was always impressed with them. This one seems like a great way to get away from bluetooth and use real ‘head-speakers’ while on the move.
Brando Madreo
Can’t wait to try Fiio’s house sound, especially their dac.
Gabriel Adi B
Wow thx Headfonia for this great opportunity. I’d be happy if I could win this FIIO KA5 DAC for my IEM which is quite hard to drive if just plug it directly into my smartphone

Andrii Pyndyk
I think it would be nice pair for my ATH-MSR7 – phone doesn’t want to be nice to them, speaking of imaginary scene

Muntu
Dynamite does, indeed, come in small packages.

I’ve been researching dongle DACs to replace my full-size, unwieldy DAP. Minutes after deciding the FiiO KA5 was the one I should get, I find this competition on Headfonia. That has to be fate, right?
Chris Wright
Big fan of Fiio products
Tony M.
I’ve just got some new gear, and could use a new balanced dongle to drive them!
Jeff
Never used an amp or a dangle for my audio…would like to know what the sound would be like (and see if I am missing anything)
TIVADAR BOBOK
FiiO is my go to brand nowadays for affordable but serious audio products.
I have a Fiio KA3 and some FiiO IEMs but the FiiO KA5 looks very exiting to me based on your review.

Edmund Chan soon ping
Amazing value for such a specifications of a dongle! The amount of user options to play with is a cherry on the cake.

Carlos David Ariza
Hello, greetings from Colombia! This would be my first dongle dac if I win 😃
I’m looking to buy my first dongle dac as I recently bought 2 iems but tbh I don’t have money to buy a dac yet. Seems like a expensive hobby lol. Anyways, I was in the chi fi love Facebook group and someone share this amazing review.
If I win this would be great as I want this DAC or the iBasso DC04 pro. But this one costs more. Ok that is the reason why I want to win. Curious to know how my iems will change their sound quality. (Quartet and vk4)
Good luck to everyone!
John Ramos
Tried DAC..they really work great.
Hope I win…can I use it on my Android?
Alexander Garcia
No better way to upgrade from my KA3 than to win a KA5. Good luck, everyone!

Paweł Bielak
I only tried e01k from Fiio. It would be great to check this out
Stan Gorshkov
My iem collection has grown exponentially and even my lg v60 phone has decent audio output with quad dacs and 3.5mm out, still most of iems are power hungry and blossom when properly amplified. And fiio amp reputation is superb. Thanks for letting me win this ))
Dalitso Kadzinje
Would really like to own one of these gems of music. Very difficult to get this things from this part of the world. I have heard a lot about FiiO products and am sure its my chance to get one.

Anton Romanov

Have been reading about DACs and done some experimenting with some lower end DACs. I’m in love with the audio quality increase even at the lower end…would love to continue my audio journey with a DAC like this!
Oleksandr Bogachuk
I love listening to music with headphones. But it is not always possible to buy some good ones and I have to use what I have. Thank you for the chance.
Mark Mangion
I have had the Fiio BTR7 now for a year and cant fault it – always works well, no connection issues and the sound and volume is just tops. I wouldnt mind a smaller dongle too. Thanks
Chien Tsai
KA5 looks nice!

KA5 looks nice. I hope I can get one to try my lovely songs!
Isroni Widiyantoro
Still looking for the best DAC Dongle for me, this FiiO KA5 surely is a great contender!
Kenji
I am so tired of buying an Apple Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter every few months because they break so easily. I need a portable and quality DAC/AMP dongle so I can listen to music with my IEMs on the go!
Kenji Bachmann
Sorry, didn’t see that you need to use your full name to enter! Hopefully this counts!

Best in this segment. . Rich sound from a thumb size amp. Love to own this little Monster
Sudianto
I want to upgrade my DAC dongle. I think Fiio KA5 is the right choice.
Sherwin P. Guarde
For the love of music.. FiiO Has always deliver awesome products to satisfy music lovers like me. I still have my M3 Pro till now and i really like it.
Albert Constandache
I have the first version of Fiio BTR5. It’s good, but I hate that I need to recharge it so often. When the KA3 was released I was curious about the sound quality which was an upgrade compared the BTR5 and with no battery. I learn that KA5 will be released and will be even better, and not the upgrade will be spot on.
Moritz
This looks very promising and might be the right Fiio to replace my Moondrop Dawn…
Jalu Akbar Wirabuana
Good luck!
Junior Schildwacht
I’d love to pair the amp with my M50X!
Kareem Mohammed
I was looking for KA5 maybe more than a year ago, but unfortunately i cant afford the price of it, it will take me 4
or 5 monthes of saving mony besides it’s unavailable in my country Egypt.
I hope i can make it and have it one day ❤️.

I am a big fan of KA1 and KA3. I hope I will get the chance to try KA5.

Patrik Asteson

jose miguel
well.. I am participating.
Ivaylo Atzev
I would love to win. I am Fiio fan and it would be great if I win and be able to use this great dongle.
Al D
From small models to larger, more powerful devices, performance enough to dance with the bigger boys yet with a pricing structure to disrupt the entire DAC/Amp market, no-one should, or needs to be, without one.
Paolo
Fantastic little DAC/AMP!! Transform any modern smartphone in a High End DAP… Another FIIO Killer product!!
Kherlen Bold
Goodluck everyone. Me personally been wishing to get a fiio btr5 or something similar for quite some time now. Would be great if i won 😀
Kamal ifqi
This project looks very interested, and I will support this project until it is successful according to the plan that has been set.
Fiio brand is amazing
Yare Htet Kyaw
I heard Fiio 3.5mm output is not as good as iBasso’s.
Joseph
I would like this DAC because my computer’s headphone jack is noisy and my headphones are all highly sensitive.
Glenn Carbullido
Leaving a comment that doesn’t say much is really taking a risky chance.
Elga Nuriman
i’ve never used a dac and i want to give it a try! because I know FiiO always has great products
İbrahim
Hello!
I am a newbie to all this audiophile stuff. I only have an iBasso DC05 for now, and I hope to upgrade it later! If I get this however, I might be able to spend that money on buying a better headphone! I am on a tight budget haha 😛
Etienne

I’m a big fan of FiiO and have an M7 DAP and FH1 phones, which is going back a while. I don’t have any newer FiiO products but would love a dongle for my long commute (two hours).

Indra Yudha Kusuma
I never had a Fiio product and a DAC dongle. So I want to try a DAC dongle from Fiio.
Antonio Alarcon
I have the KA3 and really like it, if the KA5 improves on it sonically I´m really interested, plus the screen makes this dongle more appealing aswell.

Tried DAC..they really work great.
Hope I win…can I use it on my Android?
Ben
I’d love to win this so I could upgrade my mid-fi audio setup 🙂
Richard H
AudioQuest was my go-to. Then I got a great DAP but I don’t store music local. My music is on my phone. The FiiO KA5 would return me to that usage.
Juanito Sampang
Want to use it on my Android phone.
Greg Hicks
Coming back to this hobby and really want to see what a good dac/amp brings to the table
Emmerson
I would love to win this giveaway to drive my current gears, Samson SR850 and Celest Kinera Pandamon, to their full potential. Currently using Avani dongle for both of them, and I know a better dongle will make the sound fuller.

Abraham Radge
Hi all, I’m new to headphone DAC’s and IEM. I want to imprint my listening experience finally (I’ve been more traditional home hi fi to date, but I’m getting a little grief from the volume and growing kit). Anyhow, this looks great. I was about to take plunge with used Dragonfly red on ebay, but I’ll hang fire. Good luck to all.
Gerald Leung
Here I am
Mike Conway
The family use an old iphone connected to an amp and speakers in the kitchen. I think this fine Fiio gadget would give us a boost in sound quality!
Raul R Sevilla
I’m new to over the ear headphones. I do not own an amp/DAC. The more I read, the more, I feel , I need to learn what all this stuff does, for the pleasure of music.
I think I’m going to be in trouble with my new pleasure. $$$$.
Please help me get started.
Nicolas Neron
I really want to use this with my LG V20!
Thank for this contest!

I would like to have best quality sound when listening music from my computer this summer. Thanks for the chance!
Pedro
Count me in. Thanks.
Lim Ee-Van
I have been saving up to get a FiiO, and everytime I saved enough, other priorities takes over – there is always that one surprise bill to pay, one medical to attend to, one birthday to celebrate (that isn’t mine but my kids).
My wife has sort of given up on me trying to save – and I been looking at FiiO catalogues for the past 3 quarters, even going to Twitter to get advice – and it all comes back to FiiO.
Help a bro out and end his misery.
Ferdy Jap
Maybe I can be the two-times winner at Headfonia!
This FiiO KA5 will complete my first prize Meze 99 Classics, woohooo!!
Thanks Headfonia for the great opportunity!
Gary Harris
A perfect fit for my daughter’s pencil case. She is an entertainment powerhouse.
Jeff Latino
From the reviews I had read, I thought this would pair with my Timeless AE better than my KA3. Thanks for the giveaway!!
Amy Campbell
I never realised that it was possible to increase audio quality when listening to a digital track with a DAC, now I know I’ve prepared a mental list of albums to listen to first…I look forward to the day when I get to try it out for myself!
Stu
Would love to win this, I’m too tight to buy one (Scottish – short arms and deep pockets) – curious to hear the difference on my ancient sennheiser ie8s that have been daily drivers for over a decade.
Alex Matheson
Looks like another great FiiO product which, it so happens, would greatly improve the sound from my 3.5mm jack-less phone.
Mukul kalsait
Cos i am NOT planning to buy any FIIO product again , i am currently using fiio KA 3 i am a student i never spend much money on anything until i brought my first IEM ,
I was extremely impressed by its sound, and decided to buy a DAC… I went all out of my budget and believe in FIIO , brought KA3 and now i am stucked ….
Their are some products Fiio concider secondary, … They didn’t care anything…. When it comes to BTR line they continually give updates add fetures like eq and all but KA line no updates no improvement at alll ….
The worst thing is they didn’t even mention anything about DAC dosent support USB 2 … My FIIO KA3 is completely useless for me if i use 4.4 mm balance output and randomly reboot with 3.5 mm ,cos my older phone is usb 2 standard … Now i have to buy another phone just to use KA3’s 4.4 mm balance port ….
Great work fiio
Even after mentioning this on their foram they didn’t concider helping or trying to figure out what problem it is … A youtuber told me that the DAC dosent support USB 2…
I dont know if you are going to read this comment or not … But i hope Fiio read this comment cos lot of people who brought KA3 asking for update it , give some features and you do nothing is disrespecting your costumers …
I dont think i can win fiio KA5 and change my mind … But honestly i want that KA5
Ilyoung Bang
Thanks for the chance with the giveaway! These look awesome!

Russell Cohen
Looking to upgrade my current set-up which is technically just a pair of Koss Porta Pros at the moment (all my other headphones have broken). Getting the KA5 would be a great start to building a new set-up with my limited budget as a student.
Adam Gill
Would love to upgrade my audio on the go
Long Pham
Hey! Over the years I slowly gotten more into audio from looking at software like EqualizerAPO and HeSuVi to diving into actual headphones as budget allows. I just bought MMX 300 and I thought it was time to look into budget or entry level DAC/AMP comps to make it a bit louder. Fell upon this site and it gives me the same vibes as InnerFidelity’s hall of fame from so many years ago. I miss Tyll and all his hard work, but he’s off with the van life enjoying his life to the fullest.
It would be amazing if I had the KA5 as my first. Thank you for the giveaway!

I was looking into dongles for a long time nowbut couldn’t get myself to buy one.
I feel like this is the best opportunity to try one out.
Aaron Joseph Domingo
I have never won any giveaway in my entire life. I’m taking my chance on this. my dac dongle is broken. I don’t have the budget yet to buy another for the next 1-2 months as the school will be ending this week, So I’ll have no allowance.
Maya Juellia

Fiio KA5. Sicuramente un prodotto estremamente interessante. Buona estetica. Buona scelta per un primo kit di ascolto a casa come in viaggio, per iniziare la moglie ad un ascolto HI-FI. Grazie
Dragan Kostić
Power to the people ( who accidentally need a portable dac ) yep 👍
Ian Lorayes
I really want this dongle, instead of bringing a Dap, i can just use my phone along with my hires subscription with tidal and apple music. It comes with 4.4mm as well so it;s all good!
