Watch them bounce while sipping on some Old City Coffee.

Oh, and +1 for wanting some specs on this unit.

I'm a sucker for VU meters. Only way they could be better is if they lit up in Maranta blue from the 22XX series.

Love VU meters too reminds me off the Technics power amps back in the day, what's the EQ like will it have many pre-sets built in how much does the unit weight and what about the cost too.

First video with the K17.

Curious about the definition of LAN streaming ... DLNA? Integrated ROON? Native streaming services? And what tubes will be implemented?

Tubes??? I don't think that there will be any tubes implemented in the K17 where did you find any info about that? I'm more curious about amp section, for the first time there won't be any THX amps and that is great! (I personally find THX amps to sound dry and lifeless). I'm also waiting for more info about streaming capabilities. I really hope for Tidal Connect and DLNA support as I will be streaming from my Android smartphone.

Here https://earl4proxyvoting.com/fiio-202411-headphonefestival/ it says that the K17 uses FiiO’s first Triod

Hmm .. The "FiiO's First Triod"mention has disappeared .....

And did anyone spot any dimensions yet?

 

[mowgli-kun]

@FiiO, in terms of features and price point, this looks like a homerun!

I'd love to about hear how users can configure EQ settings – is it configurable through the device itself, through a web app, or perhaps through a mobile app via Bluetooth?

 

[lowrider007]

What a beauty !

Day one for me on looks alone!, hope it will be available in UK?

 

[HIGHDOWN]

FiiO is very good at making things that I like..

Watching that video and counting some fingers I think it's about 22-24CM wide. It looks deeper than it is wide too.

Hope that it will sound as great it looks in visual and in specs the most important thing for me will be the amplificiation section. The two AK4499EX will sound great only if they are implemented right and if the amp section is done right with high quality components, otherwise it may sound dry, anemic and lifeless no matter which DAC chips are being used. So I cross my fingers for this K17

Hello everyone,

@FiiO

Since its launch, I've been enjoying the K9 AKM and wondering how they will compare soundwise.

Their DAC section is the same. Their main difference (besides connectivity and streaming capabilities) is their AMP section.

It makes me wonder if there's a big gap and upgrade soundwise between them.

Best
