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
The FiiO GIGAS 1 in Silver is a compact Class AB desktop headphone amplifier with a discrete transistor output stage, giving up to 4600mW + 4600mW from its 4.4mm balanced output. It also has a 3.5mm output, RCA and 3.5mm inputs, two gain settings and USB-C power, in a 132 x 60 x 40mm aluminium chassis.
Who it suits
Anyone wanting a small amplifier to drive anything from sensitive in-ears to demanding planar headphones, finished to match silver desktop kit such as the silver FiiO K15 DAC. The hardware is identical across colours, so the black GIGAS 1 is the same amp.
Our tech experts advise
The GIGAS 1 has no DAC, so feed it a line-level analogue signal from a DAC, player or CD player. Use a 12V PD charger for full power, and keep gain on low for in-ears to avoid hiss and sudden volume jumps.

Frequently Asked Questions
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?
A: The FiiO GIGAS 1 desktop headphone amplifier, a USB power cable and user documentation.
