FiiOxJadeAudio KA1/KA11 Compact Portable DAC and Amplifier Discussion & Impressions Thread
@FiiO Why there is no volume control in this app? According to release notes for v3. 21: "3. Added volume adjustment function for the KA11." https://forum.fiio.com/note/showNoteContent.do?id=202105071628040377809&tid=17- alexk0il

FiiOxJadeAudio KA1/KA11 Compact Portable DAC and Amplifier Discussion & Impressions Thread
Still waiting for mine from Aliexpress. The older Android should have it. Can't confirm if this is true, I've heard that volume is a permanent setting, if you set it with an old android phone, then the dongle will remember it even when used with iPhone. edit - Why? What's wrong with 0.8?- alexk0il

Hi Kang, This dongle seems to be out of stock everywhere for the last 3 weeks, you can't even find it on AliExpress. I have pre-ordered it from hifigo long ago, so when is the next batch supposed to hit the market? Thanks- alexk0il

How do I get the output power of DAC from these numbers?
Thanks, you are right, of course. I missed the Vrms, so sqrt(2) is a must. The three numbers correspond to different gains. The last one is for the "max gain". Anyway, found specs for the SABRE9602C amp. The max output is 49 mW into 32 Ohm. 2Vrms were specified for 600 Ohm.- alexk0il

How do I get the output power of DAC from these numbers?
Trying to "guesstimate" the output power of my LG Hifi Plus Dac. Found this post: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/any-tech-info-about-lg-hi-fi-plus.7518/#post-175360 "maximum output:414mVrms, 1Vrms, 1.94Vrms Lineout:1.1V Output impedance:1.8ohm" Is it...- alexk0il

BQEYZ KC2 - - > Truthear Hexa
Wasn't there a time when all audiophile equipment was supposed to have the Loudness button that created a U-shape profile specifically for low volumes? The Crinacle guy, yeah... Seems to be knowledgeable, polite and arrogant at the same time, a perfect combination for being a successful...- alexk0il

BQEYZ KC2 - - > Truthear Hexa
I normally use Crinacle neutral curve as a starting point for tuning, don't deviate a lot from it. Interesting though, I don't feel an urgent need to do any tuning with M50, though now I am curious how can they sound after a PEQ Thanks, it makes sense and explains a lot. I knew I was at the...- alexk0il

BQEYZ KC2 - - > Truthear Hexa
I know... Right? :smile: To my defense I've spent hours of reading reviews and listening to sound tests of Hexa, Nova, Blessing2, Variations, Zeros, S12, P1, Timless, etc. As a result my mindset has switched from getting IEMs to enjoy listening to getting an IEM to enjoy tuning and then either...- alexk0il

Thank you everyone who responded. Just placed an order for KZ PR3 @£33 from Aliexpress. 🤦♂️ Based on reviews it should be a horribly tuned 13.2mm planar with crazy amount details and an open and airy sound,. I hope there will be a decent chance of being able to tame it with PEQ. I've never...- alexk0il

Clarity/resolution across the whole frequency range. Better stage, 3d Neutrality - tuned to be used as a entry point by professional musicians, but respond well to EQ and can be fun too KC2s as ok for what they are, but can't match Looking to improve #1 and #2, don't really care about the...- alexk0il

BQEYZ KC2 - - > Truthear Hexa
Thanks a lot. I'm a bit new to this, can you please clarify: 1. Do different Zero 2 colors have different sound profiles or is it purely cosmetics? 2. Are you saying Hexa doesn't sound better than Zeros or is it just not worth the extra money? 3. Also, how would S12 rate in this comparison...- alexk0il

Looking to upgrade my KC2, they were kind of OK especially PEQ-Ed to Crinacle Netral profile, plus/minus minor adjustments. I also have Ath-m50 monitors that are obviously more capable. So... Anyone moved on from BQEYZ KC2 to Hexa? Is it a night and day difference or just a minor evolutionary...- alexk0il
