FiiO K17: Another "Combine" - DAC, Streamer and Headphone Amplifier
14.01.2025 07:13 | ~1 minute read
FiiO presented a new DAC with a built-in streamer and headphone amplifier FiiO K17 at CES 2025. The device's arsenal includes a parametric 31-band equalizer inherited from the K19 model and a precision digital-to-analog converter based on an assembly of AKM AK4191 + AK4499EX x 2 chips. Three femtosecond oscillators with ultra-low phase noise, a fully balanced circuit and a linear 35 W power supply provide high-quality sound.
To control the FiiO K17, you can use a large touch screen on the front panel of the case, a wireless remote control and a proprietary application for mobile devices FiiO Control.
The FiiO K17 is designed to work with headphones as well as in a complete system, with both single-ended RCA and balanced XLR analog outputs. A fully discrete transistor amplifier (Class AB) allows the device rise 2 x 4 W of power
The FiiO K17 network DAC with headphone amplifier is expected to be available in late January 2025 at a suggested retail price of $899.99 / €999.99.
