The FiiO GIGAS 1 (also spelled GIGA S1) is a compact desktop headphone amplifier, branded JadeAudio, rated up to 4,600mW + 4,600mW balanced on a 12V USB PD supply, with 4.4mm and 3.5mm outputs and RCA/3.5mm inputs. FiiO built it for planar headphones like the JT7 and other hard-to-drive cans fed from a DAC or player.
Who the FiiO GIGAS 1 is for
FiiO JT7 and entry-level planar owners: FiiO created the GIGAS series because the JT7 needs more power than most affordable sources deliver, and aims it at entry-level planars from FiiO and other brands.
High-impedance and low-sensitivity headphones: Switch to high gain, which FiiO recommends for low-sensitivity or high-impedance headphones, and run it from a 12V USB PD charger for the most output.
Balanced cable owners: The 4.4mm balanced jack carries the 4,600mW-per-channel rating, and the 3.5mm and 4.4mm outputs can be used at the same time.
Gamers and callers with a TRRS headset: Plug a CTIA headset into the front 3.5mm jack and its mic passes through to the rear 3.5mm input, provided the source on that input also supports a CTIA mic.
Crowded desks: At about 132 × 60 × 40mm and 210g it fits beside a monitor stand, and it takes any analog source over RCA or 3.5mm, one input at a time.
Skip it if: you don't already have a DAC, dongle or other analog source: it has no DAC or USB audio input, and its USB port only takes power.

FiiO GIGAS 1 vs similar options
vs Fosi Audio K5 PRO: A DAC/amp for PS5, Switch and PC with USB-C, optical and coaxial inputs and a mic input, but only a 3.5mm headphone jack; pick the GIGAS 1 for 4.4mm balanced output.
vs Fosi Audio SK02: Also has 3.5mm and 4.4mm outputs but adds an ES9038Q2M DAC with USB and optical inputs instead of analog ones; pick it for a computer, the GIGAS 1 for analog sources.
vs Fosi Audio SK01: Battery-powered (up to 6 hours) with bass, mid and treble knobs and a PURE bypass, but no 4.4mm or RCA jacks; pick the GIGAS 1 for balanced headphones on a desk.
