Those measurements doesn't looks bad for a mid grade equipment? What's your take on it.

Thanks, so as I pointed out in the review these are actually FiiO own measurements but yes I think the headphone output from both balanced and single end measurements are very good ( very similar to the Schiit Midgard that it will be replacing as I have a balanced setup in the room where I will use the K17 ).
The XLR and RCA output is not SOTA though which is surprising given the internals but it is nothing that you might "hear". It be in the Very good (but not excellent) section of the ASR SINAD chart. It will be interesting to see if ASR or GoldenSound do some independent measurements with their Audio Precision.
I might, if I get time, actually measure with my Cosmos ADC ISO setup when I update the review (I didn't have time for this review as there are so many features to try and test ), so if there is no independent AP measurements when I update the review ( assuming we get some firmware updates soon ) - I will add my independent measurements

I'll keep an eye on your adjustment following Fiio software progress.
