Just a moment, please. Disconnect other devices before upgrading.

Dear friend,

Now the link is working. You could download the firmware file.

How to upgrade the firmware for KA3?​

Please disconnect other players or USB DAC from the computer before updating the firmware!
1.Download the KA3 firmware files and upgrade tool: click here

2.Install the USB DAC driver for KA3(Click here) in the Windows computer

3.Connect the KA3 to Windows computer, and run 'Fiio_Tool_V1.01'.
After 'Find Device FiiO KA3' shows, click 'start' and the firmware will update automatically;

4.When 'Firmware update success!' shows, the upgrade is finished;

5.You could connect the KA3 to your Android mobile phone and adjust the options for KA3 via the FiiO Control APP now. (How to control the KA3 via the FiiO Control APP in Android mobile phone: Click here)

Best regards

@FiiO hello! I read in comments on your website that FiiO Control App has impedance settings mixed up. The person there is saying that Low is actually High, and High is Low. Can you check it?

Also If I don't listen to anything for a while it just stops working when I try to play music, so I have to re-plug it into my PC.

When I do the sound test in windows sometimes the first sound fades in and the second sound is played normally. There has to be an option to have constant streaming. Some notification sounds are so short they don't even turn on KA3 (or whatever happens to it that it doesn't play short sounds after complete silence).

Removed driver from Windows 11, now KA3 became MUCH MUCH louder. (with driver 60% was getting loud, now it's pretty loud at 10% windows volume).

Dear friend,

We will report to the engineer for checking about that again when we are back to work after Chines New year holiday.

Best regards

1, You can upgrade the V2.0 firmware. Turn off the mute.

2, This is just the volume curve is different, after installing the driver curve can be adjusted more appropriately.

1. I did upgrade and turned the mute off right away. Now I turned the mute switch on and the sounds stopped fading in but the clicking/popping sound returned. I think the ON is OFF and OFF is ON? What.

2. Ok that's understandable.

Hardware mute switch=OFF. The sound will go directly to the earphones. There will be no delay time to suppress POP. So " the sounds stopped fading "

Yes, but in my case it's the other way around. ON = OFF and OFF = ON. I have no idea why.

Similar to reports from other users here (and a number on Amazon), I've been experiencing loud props and crackles, as well as connection losses, intermittently when using the KA3 with my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G (Android 11)... I returned the unit last week and received a replacement yesterday, but today I am experiencing exactly the same popping and clicking. The problem so far has only occurred when the DAC is connected to my phone (laptop seems fine)... However, I previously thought the issue was completely random, but then I noticed the crackles/pops occurred consistently at very specific places, for example a certain corner of a shop near me, part of a bridge I walk over every day, and a corridor in my office. Could it be interference that the KA3 is poor at handling?. The pops and cracks are very loud and uncomfortable, and don't cease until I walk a good distance from where they originated... N.B. I use Qobuz and haven't tried local files yet, but I only listen to downloaded/offline Qobuz albums/playlists due to my commute, so that shouldn't be a problem, should it?... I also own a Topping NX4DSD which I've used solidly for a year, in the all the same places, and I've never had a single issue with that at all... I really hope this is resolvable, otherwise it'll have to go back. It really is an unpleasant sound.

Would'nt the built in dac on let's say a S10 be sufficient enough? Just trying to figure out adding another dac to a phone?
