[FiiO KA17] Mini desktop-class amp, flagship dongle is officially released!

I don‘t have any clicking sounds, and I just bought the 7hZ timeless ae because I don‘t want to use the equalizer. The Sundara has too little Bass for me when I hear music and the 7Hz is for me the perfect IEM for Rap/Electro.
I put it a little incorrectly, I wanted to address those who have a problem, not you personally.

I agree, I also had a K5 and it has a worse HF than the KA17. They were indistinct, less resolution. Everything is fine on the KA17, after the E1DA 9038D I have no complaints about the sound quality, they play great on my Sennheiser HD660S headphones.
By the way, if you have a loud click when connecting, then delete the fiio application and everything will be fine right away. Moreover, using the equalizer you don't have a bit perfect sound, why worsen the sound? Better buy good headphones and you won't have to deal with this nonsense with the equalizer, making the sound worse.

Hi. Can you compare the differences in sound between the 9038D and KA17? :>
I have the 9038D and it's the no1 option for me if i want something analytical.
I plan to get the KA17 as my endgame dongle, but i dont know if i should

The 9038d plays better, a little more detailed, a little better upper frequencies. This is on the 3.5 connector in desktop mode.
The 9038d6k sounds even better than the 9038d, and the balanced novelty 9039S, which will be released soon, will not leave the KA17 a single chance.

But the difference for me is very minimal, I have to sit and switch headphones and compare. And not all compositions can find this difference. At the same time, ka17 may be and will be better on the balance sheet

I heard in the e1da discord that 9038d6k sounds the same to the 9038d tho.

No, there is a difference in favor of 9038d6k. But I think this is almost the maximum that could be taken from this chip and such a compact device. Only the prototype 9039s plays a little better - there is an additional texture and naturalness, it plays more vividly. Ka17 just lacks this texture and brightness for me.

I'm having the 9038D and used to have/reviewed the Ru7. Would you be interested?
