My point is that if you increase the price then maybe you can add proper support and software - the ka17 is still unusable for people who bought it specifically for the eq.
Why unusable?

toggle between user presets and you can see it doesn’t load properly - it doesn’t have a consistent sound.
Additionally - you can easily brick the unit by trying to adjust your custom eq by modifying the curve on the Control website - making it so you have to downgrade the firmware to update to the latest version to make the unit responsive again.
Please add double click to the volume knob to change tracks! That would be such a game changer thank you so much please consider it 
This is just a rendering picture, but if it is made, because this kind of electron tube works under low voltage and has low power consumption, the light emission of the electron tube itself is basically non-existent. Most of the products on the market use LED as an auxiliary light emission.
In addition, we have already started making Bluetooth speakers. Currently, we are selling ANYWHERE under the SNOWSKY sub-brand, and there should be other models in the future. As for SOUNDBAR, it belongs to home theater speakers, and we have no plans yet.
Since importing PEQ from K19, we have been continuously improving the computer and mobile operations according to everyone's needs. We will gradually fix some bugs.

As a customer the progress here feels significantly too slow when this ka17 PEQ feature is marketed as complete and accurate.
The fact that it bricks by using your website shows that it is far from finished. Again, I would have much rather paid more for the ka17 knowing I’d have a finished product / support/ polished software. It really has amazing potential, it’s just not there yet.

I just communicated with the engineer, and they don't know about this requirement, so there is no technical problem. Therefore, this is the purpose of my direct communication with everyone through this post, to prevent the market (including consumers and users) from being disconnected from research and development. As for the specific function, the engineer will evaluate whether it needs to be added, whether it will conflict with other functions, and details such as time arrangement, so I will not provide a specific reply.

I said it before, but I like to say it again, I'm so glade to see a company like Fiio in the market.
I wanted to ask, with a creation of a sister brand like Snowsky does that mean in the future Fiio might also have a higher end sister branch targeting higher end brands? Not that it is doing that now, but still curious to ask.

To be honest, there is some controversy and disagreement within us regarding PEQ. Some people believe that many products of Fiio support PEQ, but it doesn't seem to greatly promote sales and there is not much discussion. Some people, including myself, believe that we need to constantly strengthen the application and improvement of PEQ in our products, and correct bugs.
Based on my personal experience with users, consumers in China generally believe that PEQ is not very useful. Users outside of China prefer PEQ.
Currently, we will still increase the application and development of PEQ, because the PEQ adjustment on K19 was outsourced before, and later developed by Feiao itself, so it takes some time.
From outsourcing to self-development, it is also because outsourcing only supports software under the WIN system platform and does not support mobile devices.
So, the progress is indeed relatively slow because we need to recruit qualified engineers again. In addition, we may be the only brand that needs to support so many devices and platforms. The workload is indeed very heavy.
However, the situation is getting better, and our PEQ sharing and AUTO EQ functions will gradually be launched later.
I believe everyone can see that we are solving the problem.
Finally, we fully accept your criticism. I am also an enthusiast and a user. Although we cannot create a perfect product, we will strive towards this goal.
The main reason why we launched two sub-brands, JADEAUDIO and SNOWSKY, is that our users are older and our products are more professional. The price is also expensive. Therefore, JADEAUDIO will be responsible for entry-level high-cost performance products, while SNOWSKY will target consumers who are more focused on appearance design.
However, we currently have no plans to launch sub-brands for the HI-END market. To be honest, the HIFI market is suitable as a project that does not pursue commercial success, because the sales volume is too low, and Fiio has always adopted low cost as our basic principle. Therefore, high-end models are basically non-profitable projects.
Therefore, for FIIO at present, the most important thing is to lay a more solid foundation. If there is a chance to develop HI-EDN products in the future, it may not be necessary to create another sub-brand. FIIO is enough.

Everybody has different tastes and I'm not familiar with the second song mentioned in your post however personally my two favourite FiiO IEM's would be the FH7S and the FD7, having said that with regards to your question and the first song you mentioned I would have to say the FD5 would be my pick for that song.

Thanks!
Please listen second song-if you can- and then tell me your picked iem for this critical song.
1. I know it's a rendering and how tubes works and the LED's used in most current products, but it really looks like a lighter.
2. Didn't know about the Snowsky brand and I just saw now the Anywere was launched only days ago.
But I'm thinking about something more professional - like BT Desktop Speakers...
