We tested Amazon Music. Works well with KA11.

@FiiO Kang , I think you are using a different version of the app, with lower definition.
Even with the yellow light on, and all working on the Fiio control, there's no sound, no output.
What's your version of Amazon Music? By the way, what model is your phone? What version of Android is it?

Hi all,

New to the forum, so sorry if this is in the wrong place. Just a heads-up that I bought a KA11 on AliExpress from the Fiio store. Really disappointed. I have the lightning version. Sound was absolutely fantastic when I first plugged it in. Then after about half an hour of use, the left channel went to a low volume level with heavy distortion. Same thing happened on one or two further uses. Now when I plug it in to the iPhone (11 pro) although the light comes on, audio is not rerouted out of the DAC, and just continues to come out of the iPhone internal speaker. I have tried to raise a dispute on AliExpress three times - but the best they offered was to return the DAC to china at my own expense. I paid around €30, and that is almost the exact cost to return it to China from Belgium. So a lousy first experience for me of Fiio. Faulty product, and a refusal to do the right thing. Quite surprised as they have a lot of fans on here and other forums.

For ref, I am using a pair of DT-770 pros from Beyerdynamic, which work perfectly with other devices, and with the same phone through the Apple lightning to headphone adaptor. Also FYI - I have also tried the device with my iPad - same problems. Both phone and iPad have latest version of iOS. Fiio also suggested I update the firmware, but offer a PC .exe file to do this. I have a mac. And there is no way to connect the lightning version of the FA11 to a computer in any case, unless someone knows how. Perhaps with a lightning to USB-C adaptor. In any case I haven't seen this issue reported elsewhere, so I think it's a fault not a firmware issue.

Cheers.

Hello. Fiio KA11 was purchased on Aliexpress from the official Fiio store. USB-c version. After one day of use, the volume in the left channel decreased and severe distortion appeared in that channel. This happens on all devices I connect the Fiio KA11 to. I updated the firmware, but it didn't help. I am extremely disappointed. I really liked the sound of the Fiio KA 11 when it was running. Unfortunately, returning the item to the seller will cost the same as the item itself. Sorry for my English, I'm writing through Google Translator.

I had the same problem. Fiio contacted me through this forum and ordered a replacement. So far the second unit is working well. As you say, the sound is really good when it works. I hope my new one continues to work. Perhaps they had a quality control problem with the first batch of units.
