Description
Limitless enjoyment with ten-band high-precision lossless PEQ
The audiophile-grade DSP allows the KA15 to feature a ten-band high-precision lossless PEQ, which operates smoothly and with high-quality thanks to FIIO’s self-developed advanced adjustment algorithms. Through the control app or the web interface, not only can you simulate or correct the frequency response curve of headphones but you can also export, import, share, and save EQ curves. Whether you choose to use officially recommended tunings or choose to share your tunings online with other enthusiasts, you can easily enjoy setting up EQ the way you want it.
Intelligent dynamic power consumption
Equipped with a high-performance, low-power processor and high-precision chips, the KA15 innovatively features real-time voltage and current monitoring for dynamic power adjustment. By recognizing the device’s playback status, it intelligently adjusts the overall power consumption, allowing your phone to run using less power. When you set a timer for music playback during the night, once the timer ends the KA15 will enter an ultra-low power sleep mode - so you don’t have to worry about your phone’s battery being low when you wake up the next day.
An outstanding display
The KA15 is the first to use a 0.96-inch IPS true colour LCD screen among similar dongles and supports both Chinese and English language display. The settings menus have been designed to be more intuitive and user-friendly. Additionally, the KA15 features a new retro dynamic UI, combining technological innovation with classic design. With the simulating spinning tape, you can truly feel the uniqueness of the KA15.
Patented Desktop Mode
Activate Desktop Mode for greater power, with balanced output power of 560mW+560mW, an astonishing increase of 207% compared to the KA5. This gives the KA15 the headroom to drive both low and high-impedance headphones.
Dual CS43198 - Expertly tuned
The golden combination of a high-performance USB chip, dual CS43198 flagship DACs + dual high-performance SGM8262 op-amps, allow for high performance in a tiny area, giving the minute KA15 dongle more sound quality than its small size would suggest
Capable decoder - All secrets unveiled
The KA15 supports up to 768kHz/32bit and DSD256 sampling rates, easily handling various lossless audio formats to meet your demands for great sound. Additionally, it is Hi-Res Audio certified, a testament to its excellent sound quality.
Intelligent app control
FIIO’s capable software team made it possible for the KA15 to be fully controlled by the FIIO Control app, including being able to adjust: PEQ, channel balance, UAC mode, volume, button mode, screen brightness, screen sleep time, theme, etc. More functionality is to be added through future firmware updates.
In-line controls - Music and calls at your fingertips
Microphones are supported as a part of the 3.5mm jack, which supports the CTIA standard of in-line controls – allowing you to not only use your microphone but also to control music playback and volume.
Cool metal construction
The all-metal body is meticulously crafted after undergoing multiple processes including precision CNC milling, anodizing, and polishing. The result is a smooth and refined texture that fits comfortably in the hand. The all-metal construction also effectively reduces external interference, for purer and improved sound quality.
COAX output supported - Your own digital jukebox
The 3.5mm jack also acts as a SPDIF output, allowing you to connect to an external decoder for more ways to listen.
HiFi without restrictions
A detachable cable plus compatibility with Android/iOS/iPadOS/Windows/macOS means you can connect seamlessly to a wide range of devices, for a truly HiFi experience without restrictions!
Plug-and-play with Driver-free mode
