FiiO KA3 headphone amplifier with DAC
FiiO KA3 headphone amplifier with DAC is an extremely compact headphone amplifier that also has an integrated DAC. DAC is also well known as S/A signal converter, whose main function is to convert digital audio signal to analog signal. At first glance, it may seem that this function is not really necessary, but this is not true. First of all, an analog signal is necessary for the full operation and playback of any audio reproduction device. Meanwhile, most music these days is recorded in a digital format. It is for this reason that a DAC helps to convert a digital audio signal into an analog one. Considering this portable headphone amplifier with DAC in particular, it not only helps to convert the digital audio signal to analog in an efficient and high-quality way, but also helps to amplify it. A properly amplified signal helps you hear much more detail in the sound, as its power can move the headphones' speakers much more easily. In this way, the sound level is also increased and the amount of potential sound distortion is reduced.
High-quality internal components that help create high-quality and unforgettable sound
It's no secret that the internal components of audio equipment are probably the phenomenon that has the greatest impact on sound. It is for this reason that the manufacturer FiiO paid a lot of attention to the production of the KA3 device. First of all, all the main and essential internal components are made of materials with special sound signal permeability. The excellent bandwidth of the audio signal is a feature that helps to preserve the quality of the audio signal and significantly reduce the amount of potential distortion of the audio signal. This creates an unforgettable sound that contains an infinite amount of even the smallest details, allowing musical compositions to unfold even more. The ability of this device to effectively amplify the audio signal is also of great benefit. The amplified signal drives the headphones' speakers much more easily, so the overall sound level they reproduce becomes louder. It is also important to mention that the reproduced sound signal amplified by this device allows you to reproduce a higher sound level and a much cleaner overall sound, regardless of the sound source used.
