FiiO KA17 Portable USB DAC for Android, iOS, Mac, Win10 (Black)

The KA17 is a professional HiFi USB headphone audio adapter designed for connecting to mobile phones, tablets, and computers. It offers a high-quality listening experience with its high-spec configuration, functionality, and performance at the HiFi level.

The latest USB dongle product is equipped with two ES9069Q DAC chips, which further reduce the digital noise inside the DAC. This achievement results in a dynamic range of 130dB and a total harmonic distortion of -120dB, providing a purer sound background.

The KA17 is designed with a desktop mode and dual Type-C interfaces. When powered by USB, it can operate in desktop mode, delivering a single-end output power of up to 270mW+270mW and a balanced output power of 650mW+650mW, capable of driving most headphones.

Users can connect their phone, tablet, or computer through the Type-C interface and enjoy high-quality music playback with the powerful decoding and driving capabilities of the KA17.

The FIIO Control APP allows users to personalize the sound by adjusting the PEQ (Parametric Equalizer). This feature enables users to correct any deficiencies in the headphone frequency response curve and smooth out any peaks and dips. Additionally, users can simulate the frequency response curves of some famous headphones.

The KA17 utilizes a four-channel fully balanced THX AAA 78+ headphone amplifier architecture, featuring a new design that significantly increases the output power. The XMOS 16-core XU316 supports 768kHz/32bit, DSD512, and full MQA decoding.

For Windows 10 and above systems, the KA17 runs drive-free, requiring no additional driver installation. Users can simply install the DAC driver from the FiiO website and then select "FiiO KA17" as the audio output device in the playback software settings menu. Once connected to the headphones, users can enjoy their music.

When connecting the KA17 to a Mac PC, users have two options. If the computer has a Type-C port, they can use a Type-C to Type-C cable for a direct connection. If the computer has a USB-A port, they can use a USB-A to Type-C cable for the connection. In both cases, users should select "FiiO KA17" as the audio output device on the computer.

In summary, the KA17 is a versatile and high-performance USB headphone audio adapter that offers a superior listening experience for users across various platforms, including Windows, Mac, and mobile devices. Its advanced features and customization options make it a compelling choice for audiophiles and music enthusiasts.
