FEATURES A USB TYPE C PORT AND SPDIF OUTPUT FOR INDEPENDENT POWER SUPPLY

FiiO features two USB Type-C ports for independent power supply in the KA17. One is the typical port used to connect to other devices such as phones, tablets and computers. The orange port on the side is provided for an external power supply. When an external power supply is connected to this port, the KA17 can achieve higher power output and better performance without consuming the battery of your phone or other connected device. FiiO has also featured SPDIF output in the KA17 supported by the 3.5mm headphone jack, with which you can transform it into a digital jukebox. The SPDIF output supports a 96kHz/32bit sample rate. You can connect to an external high-end DAC for flexibility and better sound quality. With sufficient USB power supply input and desktop mode enabled, the KA17's four THX headphone amps work together parallelly for more significant current and overall power output. The result is up to 270mW+270mW power output for single-ended out and up to 650mW+650mW power output for balanced out.
