Would the KA17 be able to drive a Beyerdynamic t1 gen 1 through balanced output? (600 ohm)

Dear friend,

The recommended impedance of KA17 is
PO: 8~150Ω
BAL: 8~300Ω
Output power in 4.4mm port: (D.mode on, high gain)
L+R>460mW+460mW(16Ω, THD+N<1%)
L+R≥650mW+650mW(32Ω, THD+N<1%)
L+R≥90mW+90mW(300Ω, THD+N<1%)

So 600ohm headphone may be too hard for the KA17 to drive.

Best regards

Today I've got my KA17. Congratulations! It's absolutely amazing as dongle and not only!

Regarding FW5, I never received a complete answer from Fiio, now I have an idea to make a very detailed review with an analysis of all these problems and ask all the paid reviewers on YouTube how much $$$ they were paid.

Fiio BTR7 - it was always difficult to hit the right button when the BTR7 was in a case. A small modification - rhinestones with a convex surface, now even when walking or running I never miss the right button.

After the planned premiere in autumn 2023, they are already appearing
The first articles about the new expected DAP FIIO M23 - but on the old Android 10
(We have 2024 - where there is already Android 14, it's a bit frivolous)

Android 10 is officially dead since February 2023 (https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/2023-03-01), that is an disappointment...

Fiio BTR7 - in DAC mode there is no way to switch tracks and pause. This is also observed in Fiio KA17. Is it possible to fix and implement this, as on the Fiio KA5 device? The point of portable devices is to control music on the go, so that the DAC is in your hand and the smartphone is in your pocket. (All this is implemented in the KA5). But it turns out that I use the KA17 as a stationary device, but there are other devices for the hospital -for example, I would like to use Fiio K7.BTR7 not only as Bluetooth on the road, but also via wire, as a DAC, not only sitting at home at the table, but also on the road, switching tracks!

They advertised it as running Android 12 so it's confusing why the demo is still running Android 10.

hello guys.
I have a question regarding the M23.
I have the Fiio m15s and since I use it with the EarMen CH-Amp, I can’t use it in desktop anymore while sending the audio files to an external DAC (it works with my Violectric with a double usbc cable).
Can you confirm that I can use the desktop mode AND send files to an external DAC/AMP at the same time with the double USBC?
Thanks

I have the CH-AMP and M23, but i don't quite understand what you mean.
So you're saying the double USB c port on your M15s, you want to utilise both of the port, one for data, another one for power(desktop mode on) am i right?
but i don't understand why you want to use desktop mode when you are connecting it to external dac/amp when your amp has a lot more power than the DAP?

 

[Patlezinc]

Sorry I was unclear, I send the files to the Tradutto.
Desktop mode is because I don’t want to use the m15s battery

 

[zeroshiki]

Maybe try something like the cb19 cable from ibasso?

I have something like this, but cheaper from Amazon (and with 2 usb-c). I guess it is related to the tradutto, because it is working with the Violectric. Do you really think this one is doing something the other one doesn’t ?
