Q5K is very versatile but doesn’t measure the best in terms of sound quality, if you prioritize audibly transparent sound over BT+EQ I would look at the tanchjim space or tempotec sonata bhd pro. I’m using a tanchjim space and the sound absolutely blows the Q5K away for me. Even the apple dongle measures better than the q5k.
I’m pretty sure they don’t support BT though.
Do you really need a balanced cable in combo with this to run sundaras? I’ve heard many people say this, but I’ve also heard others say it runs them perfectly fine without a balanced cable. Can I get some personal feedback from you guys?
shipping under $100 is $7 to CONUS.
has anyone returned a product to Drop recently? I know they used to be a pain in the ass to deal with.
This is a steal. If you don’t have a 5k you should snag one at this price.
I already got btr7 which is a bummer lol I could have gotten this
What’s so good about this thing?
it has a full configurable software parametric EQ thats completely hardware agnostic.
Its also decently powerful and powers my hd 6xx pretty well
Go to the Qudelix page and have a look.

I could write a few paragraphs here praising it and explaining it, but you may as well see for yourself. It is amazing. It is worth every penny. Even at $100+ it’s a bargain.
Great deal! love mine, it drives all my headphones and iem’s without trouble.
Extra $10 off when signing up account. Should cover the shipping cost.
I love my 5k and use it all the time but i still have no idea what the buttons do and i just have to fumble it around to turn it on and off.
Yeah it is. Thanks
Best small adapter. I use it with my pc as a desktop dac and on the go.
Sure there are more expensive dacs with more volume, but i dont want to damage my ears.
I just grabbed one. Do balanced 2.5mm cables make a difference? I’d like to get the most out of my 6xx, 4xx, and K702’s, and I’m seeing some black friday deals on amazon for cables.
