FiiO offers a wide range of high-quality desktop USB DAC/AMPs namely K5, K5 Pro, K7, K9, etc. Today, they have introduced the K11. Well, going by their older name scheme, the K11 would be the latest flagship, but the K11 is named according to their new-generation naming scheme which puts it around the entry-level bracket. But it is a nicely-designed truly-balanced desktop DAC with a built-in amp section that promises nothing else but quality sound performance.
FiiO has designed the K11 with high-performance audio circuitry featuring a premium CS43198 DAC chipset. This 32-bit DAC is implemented with high-quality components including a high-quality USB Processor, premium LDO filters, imported capacitors, etc. The K11 delivers ultimate performance in decoding 32bit/384kHz PCM and native DSD256 audio signals. We get crystal clear output with ultra-low distortion and high SNR performance. FiiO has equipped the K11 with a high-power amp-section that delivers a strong output of up to 1.4W at 32Ω of impedance load. It has a 3-level adjustable gain, allowing you to easily pair your sensitive as well as high-power requiring in-ear monitors and headphones with the K11 with ease.
FiiO K11 features a low-noise power supply design that ensures cleaner output. The device comes equipped with a bunch of input-output options. We have USB, Coaxial, and Optical inputs allowing you to easily connect to a variety of devices with ease. For outputs, we have 4.4mm+6.35mm headphone output, and an RCA line-out option as well. FiiO has built the K11 quite nicely. We have a durable VA display screen on the front. This display is always on display and showcases various settings such as active bitrate, active connection type, volume level, etc. FiiO K11 also has the FiiO logo at the top that glows in different colours based on the active file bitrate. The K11 has a sleek and compact footprint, you can simply place it on any given setup.
FiiO K11 is a beautiful device that delivers an impressive sound performance. At an attractive price point of just 129.99$, the K11 delivers quite an amazing performance for everyday usage.
