FiiO KA17 blue

FiiO KA17 blue
The FiiO KA17 headphone amplifier offers up to 650mW of power and weighs just under 35 grams. It is equipped with two ESS ES9069Q chips and AHX AAA 78 amplifier chips. It also offers PEQ (Parametric Equaliser) adjustment, a professional 16-core XMOS XU316 chip, separate digital and analogue circuits to prevent potential interference, two gain settings and more. There's just one small catch: to unlock the full 650mW of power, you need to connect the amplifier to a secondary USB-C power supply and switch on Desktop mode on the side. Without it, the KA17 delivers 'only' 300mW of power, which is more than enough for listening with all smaller, less demanding headphones.

Compact aluminium body with a display
The entire body of the FiiO KA17 is made of aluminium. On the front is a 0.91-inch LED dot-matrix display, which intuitively shows playback information and lets you use the buttons to adjust various settings such as screen orientation, digital filters and more. On one side, there is a USB-C port for the music source and power when using normal mode. On the opposite side is a pair of headphone outputs – 3.5mm unbalanced and 4.4mm balanced. The KA17 also implements several protective monitoring systems that control the temperature and output to prevent damage to the amplifier or your headphones. A leather protective case is also included in the package.
