The GIGAS 1 is a compact, high-power desktop headphone amplifier built around a discrete Class AB transistor current-amplification circuit. It delivers up to 4600mW + 4600mW balanced output and handles everything from sensitive IEMs to demanding planar and high-impedance full-size headphones. Dual headphone outputs, dual inputs, switchable gain, and dual-mode USB-C power are all included as standard.
Class AB Discrete Transistor | Current Amplification Headphone Amp Circuit
The GIGAS 1 uses an op-amp + transistor current-amplification design built around onsemi MJE243G/253G transistors for high-current, low-impedance output. Balanced output reaches up to 4600mW + 4600mW, giving full-size headphones and IEMs plenty of headroom.
Dual Headphone Outputs | Seamlessly Compatible
A 3.5mm single-ended and a 4.4mm balanced output cover a wide range of headphone connections. The 3.5mm jack supports CTIA-compliant microphone passthrough for gaming, calls, and multimedia use.
Dual Input Ports | Flexible Connectivity
Both 3.5mm and RCA inputs are included, making it easy to connect digital audio players, smartphones, computers, or CD players. If you're looking for a capable source to pair with the GIGAS 1, the FiiO K15 Desktop DAC and Headphone Amplifier is worth considering as a desktop stack companion.
Two Adjustable Gain Levels | Compatible with All Types of Headphones
A toggle switch selects between high and low gain. Low gain suits sensitive IEMs; high gain handles low-sensitivity planar and high-impedance headphones.
Type-C Dual-mode Power Supply | Automatic Adaptation
The USB-C port accepts both standard 5V and 12V PD power, switching automatically between modes. A 5V supply via computer or adapter is sufficient for most headphones; a 12V PD supply unlocks full output power, dynamics, and soundstage.
Minimalist Design | Effortless Control
The aluminium alloy chassis is compact enough for tight desktop setups at 132 x 60 x 40mm. An oversized volume knob and mechanical toggle switches keep everyday operation straightforward.
Multiple Colour Options | Elevate Your Desktop Aesthetics
The anodised aluminium alloy chassis is available in multiple colours, each with a finely textured finish and warm retro lighting. The Orange finish suits a range of desktop styles, from minimalist workspaces to gaming setups.

About the FiiO FIIOGIGAS1-ORANGE
From our tech experts at CEN
The FiiO GIGAS 1 in Orange is a compact desktop headphone amplifier built around a discrete Class AB transistor output stage. It delivers up to 4600mW + 4600mW balanced through a 4.4mm socket, with a 3.5mm output, RCA and 3.5mm inputs and two gain levels, all in a 210g aluminium chassis.
Who it suits
Anyone who wants a bold-looking desktop amp that still has the muscle for planar and high-impedance headphones. The orange finish and warm lighting suit a gaming rig or retro setup. For a DAC to stack with it, the FiiO K15 is a natural partner.
Our tech experts advise
Connect your source by RCA or 3.5mm line level, not a headphone output turned up high. Use a 12V PD USB-C charger to unlock full power. The 3.5mm output supports CTIA microphone passthrough, handy for headset chat. The same amp also comes in Green.
