Hey am i missing something or this k5 pro is worse than soundblaster g6 or ae-5 in your tests which looks impossible due to dedicated purpose with big casing ? G6 is small and gaming oriented product.
What you guys can recommend for my DT1990 pro 250ohm ? I wanna hear full potential of this headphone however i don't have big budget. Which one should go better with my headphone ? I will use it mostly with my headphone but i also have Edifier R1280T bookshelf speakers. Music, movies and games all equally important.
K5 pro has dedicated power supply and nice big casing. AK4493 DAC and powerful amp.
G6 uses usb power. I guess it has Sabre ES9018 DAC and praised discrete biamp.
AE5 uses pcie power. It has Sabre ES9016 DAC and same praised biamp.
If i understand correctly AE5 and G6 better than K5 pro DAC wise. K5 has the most amp power thanks to power supply, AE5 second and G6 least amp power. I'm not sure which amp better though. Biamp should be better ? I think none of these will have issue with loudness. All of them can drive 250ohm headphones easily. But it's not just about brute force power, which amp can sound better ?
I personally liked the K5 pro. It looks great and it's a dedicated product however G6 looks like best choice for me. Even though it's ''gaming'' product it's still better or on par with the K5 pro?
