Modern technologies that affect sound quality

In terms of design and quality, the FiiO KA17 surprises with its durability and aesthetics. The device is made of anodized aluminum, which not only has a luxurious design, but also ensures its durability. The amplifier is equipped with a 0.91-inch OLED display, which displays the most important information about the sound level, playback quality and other settings. It also allows you to easily control the device's functions. The dimensions and weight of the FiiO KA17 are optimized for portability, allowing you to easily carry the amplifier in your pocket. Nevertheless, this device does not have a built-in battery, so it cannot be considered fully portable. By the way, the FiiO KA17 is characterized by extremely simple operation and excellent compatibility with various devices. The device supports up to 32-bit / 768 kHz PCM and DSD512 decoding, and the additional USB-C connector in “desktop mode” allows you to achieve even greater power and lower sound distortion. This is how it ensures impeccable sound quality even for the most demanding listeners.

Convenience and simplicity

The FiiO KA17 headphone amplifier with DAC is not only a technologically advanced device, but also practical in everyday use.

This is especially convenient for those who want to fully exploit the potential of their high-quality headphones. In addition, the uniqueness of the FiiO KA17 is its ability to operate in “desktop mode”, when by connecting an additional USB-C power source, the amplifier reveals even greater power and reduces sound distortion, providing even better sound quality. In short, this is a durable, technologically advanced and high-quality device for everyone who appreciates high-quality sound and compactness.
