Its Ok - getting buyers remorse

So I got my self into the IEM's after watching Raghav giving extensive and helpful insights. I started with CCA-PLA13 - BUT the amp & dac fiio ka2 is very over rated in my opinion. Reason being I could not differentiate between my apple lightning to 3.5mm connectors amp and the fiio ka2 except for the fact that fiio ka2 was causing volume to crackle at 100 which in case of apple connector was absent.
The cca pla13 itself did not required burning much and played decent enough out of the box.
I regret purchasing the fiio ka2 and the 4.4mm connector (instead could have saved that money to buy better planar iems in future)
but yeah thats a learning.
Full marks to Raghav for his detailed videos but these dacs are overated.
I reviewed these on my iPhone 14 promax with apple music lossless

A great product if you know what you’re buying. Do your research!

I genuinely like how well this product is built and how cleanly it outputs sound through its 4.4mm output. I listen to a lot of albums which are remastered in DSD 128 and DSD 256 and the KA2 does a stellar job of playing these formats.

My only issue with this product is the fact that it heats up quite a bit with prolonged use and I am hoping that it isn’t an issue.

One really important thing to note here:

A lot of people have been giving the KA2 a lot of hate for it not having a 3.5mm unbalanced output. The KA2 is NOT an unbalanced DAC/Amp. It is balanced with a 4.4mm pentaconn jack and caters only to those who want a balanced output for their IEMs. Adding a 4.4mm to 3.5mm adapter might completely fry the circuit and/or cause these to sound subpar. For those who want the standard 3.5mm jack, the KA1 is the DAC/Amp to go for. For those who want both, the 3.5mm and 4.4mm with a lot more power, the more expensive KA3 is the choice for you.

We really appreciate the genuine feedback, we'll share your thoughts with the brand as well!
