Sound Quality​ The first headphones I tried with the KA1 was the Sennheiser HD 598SE and I felt that the amp seemed to struggle to drive them to super high levels - but they did sound good. I then tried it out with the Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10's. This appears to be a match made in heaven. The KA1 easily drives them to very high levels without any distortion at all. The character of the sound appears to be very neutral, impactful and detailed. To test the FiiO JadeAudio KA1, I used a variety of headphones and earphones. These included the Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro, Meze 99 Classics, FiR Audio 5×5 and Tin Hifi P1. I’m getting close to 60. This means that my hearing isn’t that of a 20-year old. At least I don’t think it is - seems perfectly fine to me. Disclaimer: The FiiO KA1 was sent to us, free of charge, by the brand in exchange for our honest opinion.

Very natural and open sound. It greatly improves clarity of sound. Instrumental separation is also increased. And a very small and portable form factor.Governing Law - This contract shall be governed and construed per the laws of the People's Republic of China.

It’s highly unlikely with the way I’ll be using the FiiO KA1 that this will happen, as I’ll typically use it at work or at home because this is the USB-C model and all of my listing devices with USB-C are in those two locations. While i find tonality fuller, better balanced and more natural and enjoyable with the Tempotec HD V, KA1 proof to offer incredible technical performance and even higher resolution that will only struggle when moving sound layers need to be well articulated and extracted. There is a USB-A adapter that you can use on the USB-C model if you have an olderMacBook, which I do have at home, as you’ll see in the HD photos above. Tech Specs The detection circuitry keeps the unit off until you connect a headphone. If, for example, you’re a PC user and connect the dongle to the PC it will not work until you connect the headphones.Yes indeed, the KA2 works with the FiiO control app, but the app seems to limit you far as what it lets you do within it. For example, the equalizer is disabled within the app but on a positive note, you do get to play around with five so-called low pass filters to choose from. Dynamic driver IEMs also work nicely. The FD7, the Meze RAI Solo, and a pair of FD5 IEMs worked well and in good synergy with the KA2. I could go on but you get the point. Most IEMs will fare just fine. The shell is metal but it feels like hard plastic in the hand perhaps because of the ultra-matte flat finish that feels like some kind of resin coating but it does contrast well with the white surface logos and the dongle overall looks good. If it is plastic sealed when you get it, it should remain plastic sealed. Some types of goods such as CIEMs and custom cables cannot be returned.

I sat there for quite a while trying to remember why I liked them so much, but why they sounded so sad – this continued for a few days. Going into the mids, the vocals continue with a natural and well-balanced sound. Both male and female vocals keep their natural tonality and instrument their life-like timbre. This is the point where I am describing the sound signature of the IEM and not the Fiio KA1. Hereby I can say that the Fiio KA1 does not change the sound of the earphone in a way that I can hear. Far as power consumption goes, it falls somewhere in the middle of the rest. I could get 10 and up to 18 minutes of music with 1% battery life but if you use full-sized headphones and loud volume levels that time will be cut in half but will never drop below that so it seems to be rather efficient again if you moderate that volume. Pairing Entirely made of aluminum, the FiiO KA1 looks and feel much sturdier than many of its competitor. From afar, you could easily mistake the DAC for a rugged USB-Key, or an SD-Card adapter. Also, like most USB-DAC, it is made of two parts: the body itself, working as a protective case and a thermal radiator, covered on each side by silver-toned plates.

It’s so small that it will be portable to carry around wherever you go, and my intention is to get a Lightning Cable version so that I can take it with my iPhone when I travel. Almost, entirely made of aluminum, the FiiO KA5 looks and feel much sturdier than many of its competitor, only outmatched by the iBasso DC06 in this regard. And yes, I said almost earlier, because this new model now comes with an OLED screen, located on the upper part of the DAC/AMP, covered by a glass-tempered screen. Due to that, from afar, you could easily mistake the DAC for a crypto-wallet, or a rugged USB-thumb from Corsair or Kingston. A geeky design, that I completely fell in love with. Let’s begin by saying that the Atom2 is more powerfull with it’s 65mw output against 45mw for the KA1. As well, both use the very same ES9281AC PRO DAC chip, so their similarity is timbre and overall balance and performance, like high resolution and capable imaging, yet the KA1 feel thinner in every sound restitution aspect.
