DAC and Headphone Amplifier · Streaming Media Receiver · Local Playback All in One Unit, FIIO K17 Is Officially Released!

[gtjwolf]

Overall off to a good start so far! Firmware updates went smooth and my usage is still just limited to USB out of my desktop. Love the amount of functionality packed into this device and will tackle the EQ software later in the week. My only out of the box complaint is the included AC and USB cables are too short.

Does an great job driving the 6XX and Duality out of the box though!

Just received my K17 today and very pleased so far. All firmware updating/installation was seamless (for me at least). Noire X & K17 are a great pairing.

Do you think K17 would be good choise for ZMF headphones(Verite or Atrium)?

I ordered through Apos since I could get the new customer discount + Rakuten rebate for a bit more off list price.

Adding to the list @FiiO

VU Meter is frozen playing DSD64 local files

No need to upload video because it's a frozen VU meter, needle doesn't move.



EDIT:

I have videos of this frozen VU meter AND stuck on PO+PRE and UH - I can show it to you during Canjam SG.

Hi,
1.Currently, VU meter is only supported for streaming and local playback modes.

2.Please switch the working mode of K17 to streaming or local playback. When displaying in the main interface, the touch screen can be switched to the VU table display interface by sliding up or down. Slide up or down again can switch to the original track information interface.

3.UV meter is not supported for DSD files.

1. Yes, it's on local playback - please see photo

2. Yes, done that. That's why I'm on the VU meter screen

3. I see - oh well So it's not a bug but a limitation.

Please see my other comments on bugs/issues.

I don't normally post my own reviews on Head-Fi but due to the pending price increase this coming weekend because of Trump's tariffs, I'll put this here to help anyone on the fence.



Enjoy!

Hi, yes, it may need to be cleaned up in time.
