FiiO KA17 Portable USB DAC & Headphone Amplifier – Dual ES9069Q – Black
The FiiO KA17 is a flagship USB DAC and headphone amplifier that brings mid-to-high-end digital audio player circuitry to a compact dongle. Dual ESS ES9069Q DACs with fourth-generation 32-bit HyperStream technology achieve a 130dB dynamic range and -120dB THD+N, while a 16-core XMOS XU316 USB processor supports PCM 768kHz/32-bit, DSD512, and full MQA decoding.
It was the first USB dongle to use a THX AAA 78+ headphone amplifier circuit, with eight op-amps in a four-channel, fully balanced configuration. Flip the dedicated Desktop Mode switch and connect external power to the orange POWER IN port, and the KA17 unleashes up to 650mW + 650mW of balanced power.
Key Features
- Dual ESS ES9069Q flagship DACs with 32-bit HyperStream IV architecture
- 130dB dynamic range and -120dB THD+N for an ultra-clean background
- XMOS 16-core XU316 USB processor: PCM 768kHz/32-bit, DSD512, full MQA decoding
- Four-channel fully balanced THX AAA 78+ headphone amplifier
- Desktop Mode with dedicated Type-C POWER IN port: up to 650mW + 650mW balanced
- 3.5mm single-ended and 4.4mm balanced outputs, plus S/PDIF output
- 10-band high-precision PEQ via FiiO Control app
- Separate shielded digital and analog boards to prevent interference
- 3-stage, 10-rail power supply design
- 0.91-inch display with physical volume and function buttons
Desktop Mode Brings Robust Power
With sufficient power, the KA17's four THX amplifier channels work in parallel for greater current and output — up to 650mW + 650mW balanced and 270mW + 270mW single-ended — approaching the performance of a desktop amplifier.
Desktop-Grade Circuit Design
By adapting audio circuitry from FiiO's digital audio players and isolating digital and analog sections on separate shielded boards, the KA17 delivers detailed, dynamic, and accurate sound.
