HiBy Music have nothing more to prove in the hand, so they've turned their attention to the desk. FD5 is the answer to the question Head-Fi had – can HiBy build a DAC/amp leashed to a wall power supply that could match, or even exceed, their portable music players? FD5 says they can.

Built with a quad of AKM's AK4493SEQs supported by a FPGA, the discrete Class A FD5 is everyone's affordable compact gateway into an over-performing one-box desktop solution. [See Product Desc. For More]

Product Description

HiBy's first DAC/amp is not without flagship genes either – it borrows its analog stage from its R8II statement DAP.

With such a discrete output stage HiBy immediately takes a big step ahead of the chasing pack of pedestrian op-amp competitors. Its individual transistors provide the power necessary to push big HIFIMANs and Rosson Audio Designs – not to mention Subtonic Audio's Storm and Symphonium Audio's Crimson – on a budget.

The ability of discrete output devices to handle current and push power is a given, and a necessary HiBy trademark given FD5's power supply sporting several thousand microfarads of filtering capacitors. It's a powerhouse that's escaped the pocket and now has the stage, and the limelight.

When you're done with FD5 at the desk move onto HiBy's portable DAPs here, or explore other desktop DAC/amp upgrades here.
