Maybe it’s an android limitation. Without exclusive mode the apps can’t change the sample rate.

“Android 14 gains support for lossless audio formats for audiophile-level experiences over USB wired headsets. You can query a USB device for its preferred mixer attributes, register a listener for changes in preferred mixer attributes, and configure mixer attributes using a new AudioMixerAttributesclass. It represents the format, such as channel mask, sample rate, and behavior of the audio mixer. The class allows for audio to be sent directly, without mixing, volume adjustment, or processing effects. We are working with our OEM partners to enable this feature in devices later this year.”

@XcElLeNcE do your iPhone changes the sample rate on the ka17 with different music?
I am using Amazon Music and my KA17 is on 192kHz even when I play 48kHz songs.

Yup. The KA17 does display changes according to different music sample rate.

Dear friend,

Hi, you would need to update the FIIO Control app in your Android mobile phone as well.
Download link: https://fiio-file.fiio.net/FiiOControl/FiiOControl-KA17-v3.22-2404191604(1).apk

Best regards

When will FiiO Control v3.22 be available in the official Google Play store?

Here in Italy is already avaiable.

Wondering if any other KA17 owner is seeing the same issues as i am when enabling the equalizer - USER1 custom. For reference, i am using FW v2.00 in the KA17, DAC v5.62 windows driver and/or APP v3.22 for android. I`m also using desktop mode - powered by power bank. Using 4.4mm balanced out and "High gain"

1st issue - Although the gain settings are relatively low on the adjusted frequencies, it seems to be distorting (low frequency) through my Oriveti OH700VB's. Reducing the global gain helps, but does not fully eradicate it, making it unlistenable. I`m also not playing the tracks loud. (about 60/120)

2nd issue - In addition, I am getting pops and clicks (like static) coming through when the equalizer is active periodically. All HiRes track frequencies. Note* If i reset all the frequencies to 0 gain, then re-actviate the equalizer, or switch to "Custom2" which is flat, i still hear the static periodically. Turning Equalizer off, the static disappears.

Perhaps it is user error, but right now the equalizer function is unusable to me.

Any help or insight into what I'm doing wrong appreciated.

It just dropped next to my door with a balanced cable, what a beauty. It came with firmware v0.99.

I updated it from 0.99 to 2.00 but I was not aware to turn off the desktop mode as was suggested in the instructions, but the update was finished successfully. Should I be worried?

MQA Bug seamed to be fixed.

I don't know what the bug was you are talking about, but when I play MQA format on Tidal I get MQA on the display, does it mean it's working as expected?

Similar experience. There's something wrong with the EQ implementation. It seemed to work fine while I was EQing my Elex but then suddenly something changed and everything sounded underwater.

I checked all the EQ values and nothing showed as having been accidentally adjusted but the sound remained messed up, despite unplugging/plugging and enabling and disabling the EQ.

In prevoius version MQA was displayed @MQA tracks but did not switch back when "normal" tracks are played. Now this is be solved.

I am trying to know how to turn off the KA17 or does it go to sleep mode when not in use? I am using it mainly as a desktop dac/amp and always connected to the laptop. I don't want it to be on when I am not at home or not using the laptop.

There is no way to do it. I suggest to simply disconnect the KA17 from the USB cable when you're not going to use it or eventually shut down the PC when you're not home.

I use it with an always plugged-in Win 10 laptop, and it turns off immediately once the PC is shut down or sleeping and the power is cut at the power strip).
However, this only works with USB-A; despite my best efforts, the USB-C connection keeps it, and other dongles too, awake constantly.
As a side note, enabling USB Selective suspend setting might also help.

Thanks for your reply. Here is how it's connected to my laptop. I have a dual monitor setup, the main monitor is connected to the laptop's Type C Thunderbolt port (USB 3.2 Gen2 +DisplayPort1.4+Power Delivery 140W) via a 40Gbps USB-C cable, the KA17 is connected to one of the USB ports of the monitor which gets the signal from the laptop through the USB-C cable. I am connecting the KA17 to the monitor's USB port because I don't need to disconnect it every time I take my laptop with me.

Or I need to find out if I can turn off the power of the monitors' USB ports when the monitor goes to sleep mode.

I hop FiiO can add an option to turn it off, or a feature to go to sleep mode when there is no signal for a period of time.

...And why not a feature to trigger the coffee machine, while you're at it!
...I'm going back to my KA17 and its music which are already perfect like that!
