Hello all,

This can the official thread for anyone interested in our upcoming new K1 portable USB-powered DAC/amp.

As you can see, this will be a tiny device with micro USB going in and headphone output going out.

Supports 24/96 decoding, using the same PCM5102 DAC used in our high-end E17K, with up to 75mW output power. I don't have official pricing yet, but it should be way under $100.

Full introduction to the K1 can now be found here

Good size & price

What kind of sorcery is this!!??? lol
 
Honestly, this would've been an amazing contraption to stack with the upcoming Fiio M3... but it appears as though it's USB powered.. , but for common consumers, this would've been an amazing duo for true portability.

Nice little dac/amp, it's a "direct attack" to the HRT dSp which the same form factor etc.
 
Small hint for your website isn't it the TI TPA6132A2 and not TPA61332A2?

How is the output impedance? Since you are use the TPA6132A2 which gain is selected or can we change the gain? What is the power current of the K1?
 
/EDIT ok now the website specs are fully up
 
Gain is fixed at 1.2 dB, output impedance is 1 ohms and the power current is at 36mA, really great specs, will be a great dac/amp which will work great for smartphones, because the power current is compared to other simliar dac/amps without battery lower, the i.e. HER dSp has 50mA and the Audioquest Dragonfly 1.2 or Cambridge DacMagic XS should be higher too.

the M.S.R.P in USA is 39.99 USD.  just for reference cause other region will be a little higher cause the VAT and other cost.

So how would someone in the US would get this. Im about to buy the dsp, but i would take this over it (being fiio and all). Any help? I need a portable dac/amp and this looks perfect.

Niiiiice.  I was planning on picking up an E10K before too long ... but with the same PCM5102 chip this is making me wonder if I really need the manual volume control (and other features) of the larger unit ...

This looks like a good way to improve the less-than-stellar audio on my Nexus 6P.  Unfortunately, compatibility between the N6P (USB-C) and the FiiO DAC/AMP options seems to be hit-or-miss.  Does anyone have a good suggestion who the target customer for the FiiO K1, Q1, and E18 are?  It looks like the K1 has about the same power output at the Q1 (and both have less than the E18).  I love the small size (and small cost) of the K1, but wouldn't want to be left wanting more.
 
Thanks.
