Battery Replacement by the user or Post Battery Removal by the user and they can use the device by an external power source is absolutely necessary for All Expensive DAP and Portable Powerful Amp-DAC devices released for the Global Market (Reason: Constant changing of Trade Policy by the country where user unable to procure spare battery if it is still in production). Do whatever inside China but for the rest of the world these are mandatory - Wish this kind of law would be passed by EU and save the world from the unnecessary waste of People's Money.

This applies to all Audio Manufacturers.

Example: Upto 400-450 USD priced device get the exemption from the above rule.

I think I'll wait for the reviews of the cassette player and CD player. The guts matter, and the description here is a bit vague.

Recently purchased the K9 AKM, and very happy overall. Its not perfect, and the Bluetooth implementation is lacking as it skips and lags. Terrible.

Also looking forward, either to the K19 or a Bluetooth solution, Bluetooth lossless, to pair with the K9 and help solve this issue.

I bought the FT5 and am very happy with it. I'm already looking forward to the announced FT7.
Can you perhaps already reveal whether it will be a planar or a dynamic?
Will it be suitable for mobile devices or will it have a higher impedance?
I think the 3.5mm and 4.4mm interchangeable adapters are perfect. Perhaps the 6.3mm can also be offered as an interchangeable adapter (like 3.5 or 4.4mm).
The 6.3mm plug adapter is not perfect.

And I'm still waiting for a headphone amplifier including a DAC that can operate 2 different headphones (FT3/350 and FT5) in parallel and a volume adjustment between the two headphones (such as the LakePeople G105 or Pro-Ject Head Box). Maybe a “K9 Duo”?
Cheers

I really enjoy the roadmap and communication with your customers. I'm a cheap novice so I only have FF1, JT1, and K3. I'm super happy with all of these products! Thank you so much for your efforts to provide great products in the value/lower cost segment as well!

Hi all, Are there any news/details about upcoming M23? Thanks

1. Flagship desktop DAC/Amp K19
This product was delayed, which was originally planned to be released in the winter of 2023. However, it was postponed due to a significant move – we introduced a strategic, sound-quality-related feature into desktop DAC/Amps. This posed numerous technical challenges that needed to be overcome. So, it has been repeatedly delayed, and the current expected release time is March.

The K19, as the flagship model, sees significant improvements in form, function, design, sound quality, power output, and configuration. Not only is it an innovative flagship in the FIIO desktop DAC/Amp series, but it is also a masterpiece with many unique innovations in the entire industry. We are very satisfied. If you have a plan to purchase such a product in the near future, it might be worth waiting until the K19 is released before deciding.

Im waiting for this DAC to end my FiiO DAC collection.

Q7, Q15 ans K9pro AKM... They are at home waiting for this K19.

Could u share more info about it? Power? Roon compatibility? Photos?

 

[iscorpio71]

I'm all in on the K7 replacement. Hopefully, Fiio decides to implement an AKM or Cirrus DAC.

Dear friend,

Sorry since the EQ in Q7 is realized by the Bluetooth chip. So the other input modes like USB could not add EQ support.

Best regards


Dear friend,

Yes, when Android 12 is stable.

Best regards


Dear friend,

Sorry about that. The product manager provide the latest correct answer since we just found that the Android 12 could be updated for M17 in the future recently.

best regards

Thank you @FiiO , trusting in your response I already bought my M17, now with the DAP in my possession, I will wait for Android 12, thank you for your attention....

With this lineup, when the peak season arrives in 2024, FIIO's mobile USB dongle product series will range from low-to-high-end: KA10, KA11, KA13, KA15, and KA17.

So, no plans for something like KA12(KA2 successor)? Was hoping for a build similar with KA11, but with 4.4mm balanced instead of 3.5mm

Seems that it will compete side-by-side with other interesting device...
