It supports MQA rendering allowing you to play master-quality authenticated files without any difficulties. The FiiO KA1 is also equipped with RGB indicator lights that are attractive but at the same time can also indicate the sampling rate of the currently playing song, helping to tell audio formats conveniently.
EMBEDDED WITH ESS SABRE PRO DAC CHIP, MAKING THE FiiO KA1 AN ALL-ROUNDER
The FiiO KA1 is embedded with an ESS ES9281AC PRO DAC chip that combines the capabilities of a USB audio interface, DAC, and an amplifier into one device. When combined with the multi-layered HDI gold-plated PCB, the DAC results in lower distortions, higher efficiency, and lower power consumption, leading to a high-quality sound. The ES9281AC PRO DAC chip supports 32bit/384kHz PCM and DSD256 formats. You can access the DoP mode, which supports DSD 128, and the Native supports DSD256 playback. The FiiO allows you to hear even the minutest detail within your music and have an energetic listening experience.
OFFERING YOU AN ENGAGING LISTENING EXPERIENCE WITH AMPLE AMPLIFICATION, SIGNATURE TUNING, AND MQA SUPPORT

The KA1 also has a premium audio amplification circuit that delivers ample power to the connected earphones to bring the best out of them. FiiO KA1 is also certified by MQA as it can render MQA files without any distortion. MQA rendering technology can connect to an MQA Core signal like TIDAL or FiiO Music App and complete the final stage of unfolding an MQA file. The FiiO offers you a highly engaging experience with a detailed and immersive sound.
ROBUST BUILD WITH AN ALL-METAL BUILD WITH RGB LIGHT INDICATOR MAKING IT AESTHETICALLY PLEASING
FiiO KA1 is built with premium quality materials with an all-metal body making it sturdy and sleek, making it easy to use. The FiiO KA1 is equipped with an RGB indicator light in a metal body with four colors; blue, yellow, green, and magenta, making the portable Amp & DAC more aesthetically pleasing. More importantly, the RGB light can also indicate the sampling rate of the currently playing song, in turn helping you to tell audio formats effortlessly. The connecting cable is also made with premium materials and utilizes a silver-plated monocrystalline copper cable for flawless audio transmission.
EXPERTLY ENGINEERED TO OFFER UNIVERSAL COMPATIBILITY IN AN EASY PLUG-AND-PLAY DESIGN
FiiO KA1 provides multi-platform compatibility, making it compatible with Android/ Windows/ Mac. All you need to do is, connect the FiiO KA1 to your smartphone, tablet, desktop PC/laptop, or even portable players for high-resolution audio capabilities whenever you want.
