Fiio KA17 has a robust power supply in a compact design. It is assembled in a three-main stage design.

The power supply is subsided into ten smaller rails, like the ones found in desktop headphone amplifiers, to ensure resilience and high-quality sound output.

this might be an overkill

unless u have a headphone that needs high power u do not need this. (and I don men it in a bad way)

It's a beautiful DAC and it works perfectly and has an amazing eq companion app, if u can afford it then this is a perfect buy, and you won't regret it.

But unless u can make full use of its power output you do not need this. save some money and buy the cheapest DAC like
FiiO X Jade Audio - KA11 (if you still want to lay with EQ with an app) or Headphone Zone X ddHiFi - Hi-Res DAC if u want it for general use only and get a good IEM maybe. (no IIEM will be able to take full advantage of this btw). you won't notice any difference, no one can notice any difference (unless u really go looking for it with tools).

Hi there,
Thank you for your review of the FiiO - KA17. We are glad to hear that you are enjoying the EQ companion app and we hope you continue to enjoy your purchase.

The product's quality

The product demonstrates exceptional quality, and the unboxing experience is highly satisfactory. It offers a wide range of customizable options, which I have yet to explore as I eagerly await the arrival of my in-ear monitors. I anticipate an exceptional auditory experience. However, it is worth noting that the product does exhibit a tendency to overheat.
