Competition among audio dongles is becoming increasingly fierce, and FIIO knows that only innovation can set them apart. That's why the KA15 has been completely redesigned, inside and out. It combines FIIO's experienced audio expertise on the inside with elements of a retro tape recorder exterior. The new generation of FIIO's 5 Series audio dongles inspires endless enjoyment with avant-garde innovation and appeals to quality enthusiasts with their practical design. It combines great sound, ergonomics, enjoyment, and aesthetics all in one compact, convenient package.
The KA15 features a high-end built-in DSP that supports 10 bands of high-precision lossless PEQ adjustment. Enhanced by advanced algorithms, it ensures efficient and smooth PEQ calculation. FiiO's proprietary tuning algorithm, app, and web interface allow users to simulate or modify the frequency response curve of their headphones, as well as export, import, share, and save EQ settings. Whether using the official recommended tuning or sharing it with other enthusiasts online, you can easily enjoy custom sound adjustments.
The KA15 is equipped with a high-performance, low-power processor and a professional-grade, high-precision chip. It innovatively incorporates real-time voltage and current monitoring for dynamic power consumption regulation. By recognizing the device's playback status, it intelligently adjusts overall power consumption, allowing your phone to run with minimal load. When set for nighttime playback, the KA15 enters ultra-low-power sleep mode after playback stops, eliminating the worry of running out of battery by morning.
The KA15 features a 0.95-inch IPS true-color LCD display, making local configuration more intuitive and user-friendly. It also boasts a retro-style dynamic UI that blends classic aesthetics with the latest technology, simulating tape movement and highlighting the KA15's unique character.
By activating D.Mode, the KA15 unleashes powerful driving capabilities, with balanced output power soaring to 560mW + 560mW per channel, an astounding 207% increase compared to the KA5. This enhancement allows it to easily drive both low- and high-impedance headphones. The KA15 features a high-performance USB bridge, dual flagship DACs, CS43198, and dual high-performance op-amps, SGM8262. This expertly tuned, golden combination is packed into a compact, thumb-sized body and exceeds performance expectations for devices equipped with the same chipset. Additionally, the KA15 supports audio specifications up to 768kHz/32-bit and DSD256, easily handling a wide range of lossless audio formats available on the market.
