FiiO KA17

The FiiO KA17 is a headphone amplifier and D/A converter with outstanding performance and functionality. It can be used both portable and stationary. With an impressive output power, the KA17 effortlessly supports a wide range of in-ear earphones and over-ear headphones. The integration of two ES9069Q flagship D/A converters and advanced 32-bit HyperStream technology ensure superior sound quality and a pure, clear audio experience.

An outstanding feature of FiiO's KA17 is its high-precision parametric equaliser (PEQ) with ten individually adjustable frequency bands. This function allows users to modify the sound according to their personal preferences and requirements. This customisability is supported by the powerful 16-core XMOS XU316 chip, which ensures low latency, high stability and optimum compatibility when processing digital audio signals.

The KA17 features a multi-stage THX AAA 78+ headphone amplifier that utilises a design architecture to deliver even more realistic and natural sound reproduction. The device's advanced multi-stage hi-fi audio circuitry ensures precise and dynamic music reproduction comparable to high-quality digital audio players. The careful separation of the digital and analogue circuit boards in the KA17 prevents interference between the signals and enables unadulterated processing of the audio signals.

Ease of use is ensured by a 0.91-inch dot matrix display and two USB Type-C ports, one of which is specifically for external power supply. The FiiO KA17 is an excellent option for audio enthusiasts thanks to its durable aluminium alloy housing, compact size and extensive feature set.
