DESCRIPTION
AN ADVANCED USB DONGLE WITH CLASS
FiiO introduces KA5, the highly classy USB DAC & Amp. It is a Hi-Res DAC capable of reproducing subtle nuances in your recording and making them come to life. It is powerful yet has black background i.e even at higher volumes you will not notice any distortion. FiiO has made the KA5 compatible with Android and iOS devices. It is also compatible with Windows and MAC devices. It is sure to surprise you and keep you engaged with your music. Music has never sounded so engaging and full-bodied!
FEATURES DUAL DAC CHIPS FROM CIRRUS LOGIC FOR AN IMMERSIVE LISTENING EXPERIENCE
The FiiO KA5 features Cirrus Logic CS43198 DACs, known for their efficiency and ability to sound good with a wide variety of music, to give you a serious upgrade to the sound. The FiiO KA5 supports up to 32bit/768kHz PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) and DSD256 (Direct Stream Digital) decoding, allowing you to dig into and listen to the heart of your music, no matter what device you may have it connected to. Get an immersive listening experience with the all-new KA5!
POWERFUL OUTPUT WITH DUAL 8261 AMPS
The FiiO KA5 utilises a 6-layer immersion gold PCB and high-performance ultra-low-noise opamps for powerful, robust sound. It features dual 8261 amplifiers for an even more immersive listening experience. The KA5 offers an output power of 122mW at 32Ω load (Single-ended) and 265mW at 32Ω load Balanced.
COMPATIBLE WITH THE FIIO COMPANION APP
The aggressive lines of the KA5 give it a bold look, while the carefully designed texture makes it a joy to handle. The 3.5mm output supports SPDIF output. After enabling the SPDIF output in the settings menu (Companion app), the USB audio signals can be converted to SPDIF signals. Connect the KA5 to a higher-end external decoder to set up a better audio system. Besides the local KA5 operating system, you can use the FiiO Control App to take control of the KA5.
NOTE: The KA5 can only be controlled through the FiiO Control app on an Android device.
TAKE YOUR GAMING AND LISTENING EXPERIENCE TO NEW LEVELS
Despite the KA5's compact size, it packs a ton of functionality - such as high and low gain, five selectable filters, L/R cha balance, and screen flip. Let the KA5 redefine what a tiny audio dongle can do for you. The KA5 supports UAC2.0 and UAC1.0 modes. With the UAC 1.0 mode, you can connect the KA5 to the Switch and other various devices, allowing you to experience rich and detailed sound effects that make your gaming and listening sessions more immersive and engaging.
OLED DISPLAY AND PHYSICAL BUTTONS FOR EASY OPERABILITY
The OLED display and physical buttons make navigating the settings menu and looking at the playback display more straightforward and intuitive. In addition, the KA5's built-in MCU processor handles complex operations, further making the KA5 a joy to use. The buttons have two modes for you to have complete control over playback. In A mode, short press once to increase volume 1 level, long press for 2 seconds to play the previous track, and press to go page up in the settings menu. Volume- button acts in the opposite way. In B mode, short press once to play the previous track, long press to increase volume, and press to go page up in the settings menu. Volume- button acts in the opposite way. The KA5 features a detachable cable design, which allows you to switch between the included custom Type-C and Lightning OTG adapter cables depending on your source devices.
