Hi, I did not adjust the global gain, it is set as 0. FYI, I am also using another equalizer app together with the Fiio Control. But after rolling back the firmware to V0.99, I am experiencing less of the distorted sound. It seems when I increase the 13kHz to 16kHz range to close to the max...

Hi @FiiO , I used the Fiio control website link to adjust the EQ, and I'm experiencing distorted sounds. This is my EQ settings, for reference, 30kHz: -5.5 43kHz: -5.0 92kHz: -1.0 1600kHz: 1.2 3000kHz: 1.2 4000kHz: 2.0 9500kHz: 1.6 11500kHz: 2.5 13000kHz: 4.0 14250kHz: 4.0 Also, when...

Hi @FiiO, can you address the questions that i posted earlier? Are these actual problems with the KA17 hardware/firmware, or is there a defect with my KA17 unit? Thanks.

Hi I have 2 questions regarding the Fiio KA17, 1. I have adjusted the EQ settings on the Fiio Control Website on my Windows laptop on Chrome browser. Does the EQ settings carry over to the Fiio Control app on my S22 Ultra, or not? 2. When i boost the EQ settings on the 1kHz to 16kHz range...

Hi! How does the Fiio KA17 compare to the Acoustune AS2002?

Hi! how does QDC Anole VX compare to the TRI Starlight?

Hi there, @Precogvision . Which is brighter and has a stronger upper midrange, Hidition Viento (brightest setting) or QDC Anole VX (Clear vocals setting)? I will not be doing customs for now, as i would prefer universal fitting. Would you say the QDC Anole VX is bright? I would prefer an...

Hi! Does anyone know of any bright sounding cables shown in CanJam SG 2024? I went but did not have time to try out the cables. :sweat_smile:

Just checked and remembered this page and this is a very late reply. But, I would say aggressive in the upper-mids and highs and treble are what i am looking for. I like speed and texture to instruments too.

Hi. Does anyone have a comparison between the QDC Anole VX (clear vocals, switches on) and Hidition Viento (with the brightest tuning/switches on)?

how would you compare the KA5 to the KA17?

I wonder if it works on bootcamp.. but I already have another PC so I'm safe. :smiley:

Actually, you can use bootcamp to install windows on your mac temporarily to do the firmware update. Haven't tried it yet on my macbook as i do not have the KA17, but i think it should work. It is a little troublesome and takes some time to go through the process of using bootcamp to get windows...

@FiiO when are stocks for KA17 arriving in Singapore retailers?

Would appreciate if you could carry the functions over from the KA5 to the KA17, play/pause, skip track, etc. And regarding the Fiio control app, would appreciate if you could add more functions, besides EQ settings. Thanks.

@FiiO That is kind of disappointing. So these issues will not be fixed in a future firmware update, due to hardware limitations in KA17? Could you at least give us more options over the functions of the buttons?

Hi! does anyone have a comparison between the OG Mest and QDC Anole VX? and which is more aggressive in sound?

@FiiO With the external power supply into the KA17, how does the sound change, compared to not having any power supply at all?

@FiiO any updates on when the KA17 will be released?

Does anyone have a comparison for the iBasso DC Elite and iBasso DC06 Pro? I'm looking for clean, clear and forward mids and uppermids, and a bright sound. Which of the two would be better?

Any updates on ka17?

Soundwise, Cadmus might be a little bit sharper , IIRC.

does source really matter for the Diva? My main setup is a dongle dac and a phone.
