The FX-AUdio DAC-X6 Mini is a powerful amp that any audiophile will be happy to have in their collection. This is a great option for those new to headphone amps, as it offers great quality sound but at a more affordable price than some of the competitive models which cost hundreds of dollars. This is a powerful tool that you can use to boost the sound quality of your music when listening through headphones.
The Behringer Microamp HA400 is an excellent budget friendly option. This headphone amp features 4 stereo channels which can be controlled independently from each other. Those who know the SA3000 are aware that is is a detail and treble-monster with a rather weak bass response. Correcting those ‘flaws’ to my taste on the K5 Pro was so simple and brought my SA3000 to another level of enjoyment. What customers like most are that Q4 not only has HiFi sound quality but also has high and low bass adjustment buttons. This particular headphone amp has been designed to help you make the most out of your headphones. It gives you a total power output of up to 1.5W under a 32ohm load, as well as up to 20Vpp at 300ohm. This means that your headphones will be able to achieve the best quality audio compared to a headphone amp at a lower price range.The K5 pro come in a good size box so I was surprised to see how small this gaming Amp was, look wise its very attractive gun metal finish with silver knobs. The device is well made and solid. it has more than adequate IO and the Bass and Treble is appreciated as I love physical EQ. The device was powerful to drive my planar headphones and gentle enough to run my IEMs so I am impressed with that already. Moving around to the front, again from left to right, we find a 3.5mm TRS headphone output, a 3.5mm TRS microphone input, a bass knob, a treble knob and a volume knob that is also a push button. Above the 3.5mm input/output, we have a small row of (blue) LEDs that show which input is selected. After installing, it does not behave differently to other DACs I have used in the past with Windows. Rounding off our list of the best headphone amps is the LOXJIE P20. This headphone amp makes use of military grade vacuum tubes which give it a warmer sound overall.
The USB-C port is OK; the cable isn’t seated perfectly snugly, but this is a common theme even on mobile phones that cost over 1000 euros, so for a stationary desktop unit, this is more than acceptable. Another great feature of this headphone amp is that it’s super lightweight and compact. This makes it easy to transport around with you so you can listen to high quality audio wherever you want to.So now on to the good. The performance of this little device is actually quite good. The sound signature seems to be neutral but without being too harsh, with a slight smoothness to the overall sound. With the dials set to the center position, I find the sound to be enjoyable, making things just have that little hint of warmth.
Yet, where the UNO offers 3 specific EQ presets for you to choose, the K5 Pro allows you to tweak the dials to your preference, giving a more personalized approach to how you want your music (or other media) to sound. The Fosi also offers an additional 2 digital inputs, allowing you to feed it from multiple sources (such as consoles and TV’s) if you wish.What are the most important factors that you should consider before choosing your next headphone amp? How compatible is it with your brand of headphones and device that you’ll be playing music from? What other features does it offer? Then we have the final function that I feel is missing from the majority of devices in the budget category, a microphone input. This allows you to use headphones of your choice, with or without a microphone, and even add something like a boom mic if you wish. This is something that makes the K5 Pro a very interesting option for gamers and even for those who do a lot of calls from their PC. edit: I know for a fact it's the poor dac chip or implementation in the Q4, I used the pre outs on it into a few amps and it was just...... well it wasn't good at all. The amp might be fine but the dac is terrible.
Great Deal
