That was my first thought as well. Perfect match for my 2i2.

Glad to see that the K5 is still alive and well. This was my first decent amp. I used to use cheap topping tp-30 just to amplify my Fidelio X2 but compared to the K5, that amp is far from sounding clean. After the K5 I decided to upgrade to the Topping E50 & L50, which disappoint me yet again. So far topping is nothing but disappointment but the K5 will always be remembered as a great entry level DAC/Amp for me.

Was it a controlled blind test or just bias overloaded?

Looks like the PL50 Linear Power Supply.

I might be wrong but this looks like a Keychron K2 to me.

Cool!

Side question: Do they make those LPSU's in any other voltages?

Is this how they get you to buy stuff you don’t need? That’s some eye candy right there

So the Red LED now is replacing the electrical blue one or what ? What LED is used for no signal ?

What differentiates the K9 Pro ESS to the RME ADI-2, besides app vs screen EQ?

eJAKE-ulate t1_jego6jd wrote

Can’t speak on the K9 Pro, but the RME’s EQ is superb and sounds better than using EqualizerAPO and the AKM version I’m using has ridiculously clean XLR and RCA outputs. The amp section may be better on the K9 due to the RME being limited to 1.5W, but it can power 600 ohm Beyer 880s just fine.

Now it looks exactly like scarlett

Wish more companies experimented with colors. I understand that black and silver will always sell more than red, blue, purple, etc so demand isn’t as much, but I would definitely be willing to pay a slight up charge for a cool color.
