Review: One of the Best Sounding Amps for the Price - By far one of the best sounding headphones DAC & AMP for this price. The sound quality is a huge improvement over the cheaper < $20 ones you can find all over the place. The audio is truly high quality and HiRes. Here are the pros: 1) HiRes is true, accurate, and sounds great. MQA also works as advertised 2) It's small and easy to handle and keep in my pocket 3) Despite my initial concerns, the braided cord to the phone USB-C jack is actually VERY sturdy and very well made. It has not untwisted on me even a tiny bit! Very impressive they were able to accomplish that 4) It works with just about any phone or computer 5) The jack is sturdy, the build quality is amazing, the all-metal casing makes it feel purposely made as well as you can Here's the poor things I found: 1) It does get warm, and especially so if placed in your pocket or under a blanket. It does have a good bit of heat that comes off of it. When playing higher sample rate tracks, such as 96kHz it will get much warmer 2) The app is practically useless and offers no added features Overall I am very impressed and would purchase again and again. Despite my few poor findings, I still rate this 5 stars for exceeding all my expectations. Also if you're worried about the braided cable: don't be. Mine has held up perfectly, see photos
Review: Great Sound in a tiny solid package. - Great DAC and sound and drives my Astral Ears earphones well. Gets warm because it a proper amp, not some tiny iPhone 10 cent chip. Not a terrible battery drain which I was worried about. While better sound than Bluetooth, the downside is you can’t charge at the same time. If you’re ok with that caveat, you’ll be happy like I am. A balanced sound and great buy for me. Like it’s other products, this Fiio gives great value.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Frustratingly good sound quality, build quality not so much
*by A***. on January 25, 2024*

Every part of me wanted to write this off as a scam. You don't need a discrete dac for mobile listening, cheap Amazon adapters and my laptop's stock headphone jack are fine. Right? Wrong! I wish desperately that this was snake oil, but it's not. The listening experience is noticeably better, even just streaming Spotify at 320Kbps. I'd say this is a little overpriced for what it is, for 50 American dollars I want something a little more durable, but the sound quality is a stark improvement over your standard cheap USB-C to 3.5mm dongles. That being said, if you don't have decent headphones to pair with it, I wouldn't bother. My Meze 99s definitely sound way better through it, but it doesn't do much for apple wired earbuds. If you already have wired headphones you like, the KA1 is absolutely worth it... if you get it on sale. I'd pay $30-35, maybe wait for Prime Day. There are too many easy points of failure (not enough stress relief at each end of the cable, especially considering the weight of the DAC side), and it's not very compatible with women's jeans. If your pockets aren't deep enough to hold your whole phone, this'll be dangling out of your pocket, putting stress on the cable, and your phone's charging port. The cable to my headphones has better tension relief, but the design of the DAC renders it useless. Especially given how short the cable is, I'd like it to be a little beefier. Its current design looks fancy, but doesn't inspire confidence when it comes to longevity. Fiio, put this chip in a stiffer chassis and give it a replaceable cable. Killer audio processing, shame they cheaped out on the simple stuff.
