FiiO K11 headphone amplifier with DAC is the latest headphone amplifier with DAC from FiiO, part of the K series DAC/amp product line. This model stands out for its unique design and overall aesthetic reminiscent of the Apple Mac Mini. The FiiO K11 is a compact and stylish device that fits perfectly into any Hi-Fi system or desktop environment. The upper is made from a metallic silver one-piece design with no visible seams and rounded side edges. The front has all the headphone jacks, the display and the control button, and the back has the rest of the I/O connections. The top also features a new FiiO logo with RGB lighting that can be adjusted via the device's menu.

FiiO K11 is controlled using a single button on the front. This button is used for volume control, menu navigation, power on/off and setting selection as it is also a multifunction button. The button has an infinite rotary motion in both directions with tactile feedback at each step, but no audible clicks. At the bottom is a large octagonal silicone pad that acts as feet to ensure the K11 stays firmly on any surface. Anyway, this is a great product.

In terms of sound quality, the FiiO K11 is equipped with a CS43198 DAC, 2x SGM8262 amplifier chips and an SA9312L USB chip.

The FiiO K11 provides a clean and monochrome signal, allowing each headphone to maintain its own sound characteristics. In addition, the device supports PCM 384kHz and DSD 256 playback and also has 6 digital filters for sound tuning. The FiiO K11 is a great choice for those looking for a high quality, powerful and affordable DAC/amp.
