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.
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?
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.
Extra $10 off when signing up account. Should cover the shipping cost.
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.
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
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
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.
Great deal! love mine, it drives all my headphones and iem’s without trouble.
