Good news here, when the monitors turn off, the USB ports on the monitors go to sleep mode after a period of time and stop sending power, therefore, the KA17 also turns off. I just tried it.

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...

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.

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?

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?

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

Thank you FiiO, I ordered mine from your official store on AliExpress.

Reading this reply from Fiio, I thought it might come with the old firmware. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/fiio-ka17-mini-desktop-class-amp-flagship-dongle-is-officially-released.971370/post-18027587

To update or not to update to the latest firmware when I receive my KA17?

I can't afford those, lol. Enjoy 😉

Hopefully it will get improved. Which headphones you are using?

Hey, I joined KA17 club yesterday and placed my order from FiiO. I will be pairing it with my HiFiMan HE400se and Tin HiFi T4. I will be mainly using it as a desktop dac/amp connected to my Lenovo Legion laptop, I hope it will meet the expectations. I chose this over K11 after I received the...

@yacobx   Well, my first phones which I ordered from an Indian store on ebay was written all in Japanese on the box and it was great before it was stolen from me at a train station. However, I have ordered another one but this time from a Japanese ebay store and it's on its way from Japan...

Could you explain why to not get Indian version? And how do I differentiate Japanese version from Indian? Thanks

I love mine too.

Hi there, this is my first thread in this forum and hope to get some of your knowledge to help getting the right portable amp.   I currently own the following headphones:   Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro Sony MDR-XB90EX Bose SIE2i Sport   My iPhone 4S is my main music player, so which of...

I am also looking for a decent amp. I am using iPhone 4S and I mainly listen to Trance. Do you think adding a decent amp will give another experience?   What do you think of Fiio ROCKY-E02i? At the same time I can use the XB90's with a mic.

I received mine last night and from the first use it was WOW. I listen to Trance too. I highly recommend it.

XB90EX was great from the first use. I like it.
