Starter Desktop Super CP -- Feiao K5 Pro Baia Power DT770 Pro

, I have always said that for the small white people, the sooner they get out of the pit with them and set up a desktop + big ear system as soon as possible, the more they can take detours and spend less tuition fees and avoid being cut leeks by all kinds of strange sky-high prices.

However, when it comes to desktop systems, many novices are daunted-on the one hand, many people subconsciously think that desktop systems are expensive, often tens of thousands. Second, facing a wide variety of interfaces, decoding, earphones and wires, I don't know how to start and match them.

However, it is now 9102 years, which is a very friendly era for burning friends. All kinds of excellent decoding and earring machines have greatly lowered the threshold of desktop systems.

Find out my favorite mid-range big ear DT770 Pro and take the K5 Pro sent by Feiao, and a new into the pit suit was born ~

Let's talk about K5 Pro first.

Feiao's new all-in-one machine, positioned in the current Feiao product line, should be the flagship desktop front end. The first impression is Feiao's consistent simple design and excellent workmanship. The round square body with OK horizontally and vertically placed, the all-metal frosted shell, and the cool ice feels very good. With an external power supply, the body is small and light, which is quite suitable for placing on a computer desk.

is a huge volume knob, which feels extremely silky and is embedded with an annular indicator light that changes according to the sampling rate. On both sides are input selection switch, third-gear gain switch and 6.35mm PO port. (It feels like a lot of pressure drop without a golden socket...)

The back interface is relatively complete, coaxial, square Toslink optical fiber, a group of LO, a group of LI, USB-B, 15V DC power supply.
Functionally, K5 pro has everything it needs except that there is no balance port. XMOS + AK4493 + TPA6120 is a mature scheme. S/Pdif, optical fiber, USB decoding, Line In and DSD hardware decoding are all standard operations.

and M5 have become a complete desktop system that supports Bluetooth reception.

In terms of sound style, K5 Pro takes a very positive tuning direction. Except for the slight roll-off of extremely high frequency, the full frequency is almost a straight line. That is to say, it has no obvious dyeing, and it will make whatever sound it gives, and it will not change the timbre of the earphone itself, so it is a very versatile front end.

K5 Pro, as the foothold of desktop earpiece rolling portable front end, is thrust. Although there is only a single-ended output, the output power of 1500mw at 32 Ω and 188mw at 300 Ω is really strong. You should know that the portable front end is the strongest, that is, 500-700mw under the balanced output of 32 Ω, and the single end may not even be 200mw. I used to push the Aune X7s of the HD800. As a crazy-hot pure Class A high-thrust independent desktop earpiece, it only has an output power of 1000mw at 32 Ω...

can be pushed to full blood.

DT770 Pro 80 Ω impedance, 96db sensitivity, is a relatively difficult earphone to push, plug in the iPhone volume up to the head to barely sound. However, on K5 Pro, the volume of low gain 40% is enough, and there is no problem for this thrust to meet most headphones on the market.

high-end push is not bad

In terms of quality, although only one 4493 is used, the density and thickness of the sound are no problem. They are all of the excellent level of the front end of the desktop within 2,000 years. Compared with the higher-end front end, such as its own Q5s, there are certain differences in the spatial sense, stereoscopic sense and transparency of sound, while the fundamental difference between density and triple frequency distribution is very small. Generally speaking, it is suitable for pushing the middle ear or plug, and can basically give full play to the full strength of the earphone. Pushing the high end will not reduce the score. It is no problem to listen casually, but the decoding quality may slightly limit the performance of top headphones.

is very full with KEF EGG

the sound of the K5 Pro line output port is cleaner and stretches a little more than PO, so LO is used to connect higher-end independent earphones or active speakers to perform well.

Compared with the JDS LABS ELEMENT that I have been recommending for about 2,000 years, I feel that the difference between the two is really small. They are both pure single-ended outputs, except that the high frequency of the Element is more transparent and the sound is more open, which sounds almost the same in other aspects. However, Element selling 349 yuan, the cost performance of K5 Pro is self-evident.

Say that finish K5 Pro say DT770 Pro again

DT770 and DT990 are models derived from Baia classic DT880. The three earphones use the same unit, but they have three different sounds.

is black and hard

770 originally positioned the singer/musician to monitor, it adopted a closed design to prevent the leakage from being captured by the microphone. However, due to the extremely accurate intermediate frequency response of DT880, it is completely OK for mixing monitoring. This product is suitable for low-key appearance and positive voice, so it is indispensable in recording studios and MV all over the world. Born in 1980 and still in production in 2019, it has become a legendary model like HD25 and ER4.

DT770 Pro has three versions of 32 Ω, 80 Ω and 250 Ω. I personally recommend the 80 Ω version. 32 Ω is easy to push but the sound is dry, 250 Ω needs independent ear implants and the high frequency is as bright as 880. 80 Ω is relatively easy to push, the low frequency is the fullest, and the high frequency is relatively soft, which is most suitable for daily use.

Standard Low Frequency Response to Target Curve

The biggest characteristic of DT770 Pro is low frequency. Its low frequency quality is many and 10,000 yuan level is not necessarily comparable. The amount of low frequency is very standard, no more, no less, very clean and not cloudy. However, the horror of diving deep, there is still a very sufficient response below 10Hz, which can send out a very low frequency roar that shocks the soul. When watching movies or playing games, the whole earmuff vibrates when it comes to the explosion scene. At present, only the big Z1R can surpass the earphones I have heard.

perfect intermediate frequency curve

The intermediate frequency, like the 880, is a perfect straight line, bringing a completely positive tone and texture to the human voice and musical instruments. The distance is also just right, and the intermediate frequency does not have any problems.
High frequency is not as bright as 880, Mid-Treble is relatively full, 8k has a small peak, but it doesn't sound obvious. However, the 80 Ω version of extremely high frequency decays too fast, with less transparency and details, which is similar to HD600.

250 Ω version of the frequency response curve, the dotted line is the Harman curve

There are many details and fast speed. Although there is no explosion density of Tesla unit, it is also a very full and delicate sound. The sound field is small, the sound is concentrated on the left and right sides, and the positioning is accurate, but the spatial sense of listening to classical music is slightly restrained.

This set of combinations is very compatible and complementary. The abundant output power of K5 Pro meets the thrust demand of 96db DT770 Pro, and the same straight and neutral frequency response ensures the correctness of the sound. Not only does it not choose the style of listening to music, the low-frequency performance of DT770 Pro bursts can also be well qualified for the needs of movies and games, which can be said to be a very versatile combination.

At present, DT770 Pro is about 1200, and K5 Pro only needs 998, which is the price of a mid-range plug. However, you can realize the dimension reduction blow brought by desktop system + full-size big ear to portable front end + plug.

Whether it is a newcomer's introduction to the sound of listening, or the establishment of a small music/game/movie daily system for the computer, it is a plan worth considering.
