    Q4 if you want sidetone, K5 is otherwise better.

    A good dac is a good dac, doesn’t matter if it’s for gaming or not. Get whatever is in your budget.

    While we are at it, will I get more from an HD600 if I get this DAC?

    Fosi K5 Pro has a good amount more power and mic input. Both use TI NE5532 op-amps, not sure about the DAC chips. IMO it looks nicer too.

    Don’t buy anything that has “gaming” written on it. It’s a fad.

    I just had this same question, just want something simple for listing in the office. Ordered the Q4 off AliExpres because of how cheap it was.

    Has anyone actually listened to either?

      I have both. I prefer the Q4, as it’s the most compatible with all my devices.
