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 low-sensitivity planar and high-impedance full-size headphones. Dual headphone outputs, dual inputs, two gain levels, and a dual-mode USB-C power supply make it a flexible desktop HiFi hub.

Class AB Discrete Transistor | Current Amplification Headphone Amp Circuit

The GIGAS 1 uses an op-amp and transistor current-amplification design built around onsemi MJE243G/253G transistors, enabling high-current, low-impedance output. Balanced output reaches up to 4600mW + 4600mW, driving full-size headphones and IEMs with ease.

Dual Headphone Outputs | Seamlessly Compatible

A 3.5mm single-ended output and a 4.4mm balanced output cover a wide range of headphones. The 3.5mm jack supports CTIA-compliant microphone passthrough for gaming voice chat, calls, and multimedia use.

Dual Input Ports | Flexible Connectivity

Both 3.5mm and RCA inputs are provided, making it straightforward to connect digital audio players, smartphones, computers, or CD players as a source.

Two Adjustable Gain Levels | Compatible with All Types of Headphones

A toggle switch selects between high and low gain. Low gain suits high-sensitivity IEMs; high gain handles low-sensitivity planar and high-impedance full-size headphones.

Type-C Dual-mode Power Supply | Automatic Adaptation

The USB-C port accepts standard 5V 2A or 12V 2A PD power and switches between them automatically. A 5V supply is sufficient for most headphones; a 12V PD supply unlocks the amplifier's full output power, dynamics, and soundstage.

Minimalist Design | Effortless Control

The aluminium alloy chassis is compact enough for tight desktop setups. An oversized volume knob and mechanical toggle switches keep operation simple from the outset.

Multiple Colour Options | Elevate Your Desktop Aesthetics

The anodised aluminium alloy chassis is available in multiple colours, each with a finely textured finish and a warm retro lighting effect. The GIGAS 1 suits minimalist workspaces, vintage setups, and gaming rigs alike.

About the FiiO FIIOGIGAS1-SILVER

From our tech experts at CEN

FiiO headphones.

Who it suits

Listeners who have outgrown what came with their phone. Over-ears suit longer listening at home, where comfort counts as much as detail. FiiO built its name making capable portable audio at prices that undercut the establishment.

Our tech experts advise

Source quality matters more than people expect: good headphones reveal a weak source rather than covering for it, so a DAC or player is usually the next step. get in touch for a recommendation.

Q: What power supply does the FiiO GIGAS 1 need?

A: It is powered over USB-C and accepts either standard 5V (5V 2A) or 12V PD (12V 2A) power, switching between them automatically. A computer or 5V adapter is enough for most headphones, while a 12V PD supply unlocks the full output power.

Q: What inputs and outputs does the GIGAS 1 have?

A: It has RCA and 3.5mm inputs, plus a 4.4mm balanced and a 3.5mm single-ended headphone output. The 3.5mm output supports CTIA-compliant microphone passthrough for gaming chat and calls.

Q: Does the GIGAS 1 have a built-in DAC?

A: No. The GIGAS 1 is an analogue headphone amplifier with RCA and 3.5mm inputs, so it needs an analogue source such as a DAC, digital audio player, smartphone, computer or CD player.

Q: What's in the box with the GIGAS 1?
