After the cancellation of the 3.5mm headphone output on mobile phones, many USB dongles appeared on the market. As a professional manufacturer of portable amplifiers, FiiO has already started the research and development of USB dongles. Following the step of optimization of mobile phones on soft and hardware and the increasingly standard USB Audio Class, FiiO's first USB audio adapter, the KA3, is going to meet you tonight.

Compared to the original DAC inside the mobile phone, a higher-performance and more professional external DAC/Amp is able to greatly improve sound quality and magnify output power. The #Portable DAC/AMP KA3# releases robust performance with its appropriate thin and compact body. When coupled with the ES9038Q2M DAC which supports a sampling rate up to 32bit/768kHz and Native DSD512, and a multi-chip audio circuit, the KA3 is going to rejuvenate your HiFi headphones.

Two independent HiFi op-amps used in the #Portable DAC/AMP KA3# for the final analog amplification circuit help to easily drive ordinary earphones and over-ear headphones with extremely low noise floor and distortion. Under 32Ω loaded, the single-ended output has an output voltage surpassing 2V, and an output power surpassing 130mW, while the balanced output has an output power going up to 240mW. To fit more HiFi headphones, the KA3 is equipped with both single-ended and balanced headphone outputs yet with more stable connections.

The KA3 not only supports connections to mobile phones including Android and iOS systems, but also to computers including Windows and Mac systems. No matter when you are watching movies on a desktop computer, listening to music when commuting, or connecting it to a laptop at the office, the KA3 can work perfectly. Through the FiiO Music app or FiiO Control app, you can control the KA3 with more settings available. Besides, the RGB indicator light can intuitively indicate the sampling rate of the currently-playing music file.

Thanks to the highly-capable HiFi circuit, high-performance ES9038Q2M DAC, 3.5mm single-ended and 4.4mm balanced headphone outputs, and support for connections to Android, iOS, Windows and Mac, the #Portable DAC/AMP KA3# only sells 89.99 USD (US market).

As the pace of life accelerates, we will need a handy audio companion. Here it comes. The HiFi USB audio adapter jointly released by FiiO and Jade Audio that kept us waiting for such a long time has finally come to us. "Jade Audio", whose Chinese name is "翡声", is a subsidiary brand of FiiO Electronics Technology Co., LTD. It is a stylish, technological and youth-oriented brand aiming to provide high-quality yet cost-effective audio products with an excellent listening experience for the younger generation all around the world.



Now, let's see how this new member KA3 will hold an audio feast for us.

In terms of the process of audio signals, the tiny body of the KA3 features an independent high-performance flagship ES9038Q2M DAC chip, which supports a sampling rate of up to 32bit/768kHz and DSD512 with dual headphone outputs. The circuit structure designed by senior engineers has distinctly high SNR, low distortion and almost 0 noise floor under super power mode. All come for high-fidelity sounds.



The KA3 also performs outstandingly in configurations- supports 3.5mm single-ended/4.4mm balanced outputs, is compatible with Android/iOS/Windows/Mac systems. The cool and visible RGB indicator lights are not only attractive but also can indicate the sampling rate of the currently playing songs, helping to tell audio formats conveniently. In addition, it can be controlled by the FiiO Control app where you can enable more functions, such as 7 filters, low and high gains and channel balance. Oh, just can't wait to take it home right now.

Unboxing

 

[powergeek]

No MQA support?

 

[duyu]

Is there a line-out option from the SE?

 

[FiiO]
