Review: Great step up from the Jade JA1 and can properly push cans hard - I initially bought the Jade Audio JA1 which is a cheaper version (by Fiio's sub-brand Jade) for using my DT770 Pro 32ohm cans with my phone. That drove them "ok" but i had to have volume close to max. Bought this Fiio KA11 instead as this has a much more powerful op amp inside. These now drive my headphones much harder and i can listen at good volume with still a good 30-40% left -- which means quieter stuff can be boosted Great build quality. Gets a little warm but that's pretty normal when pushing this much power so nothing to be alarmed about -- it's warm not hot. For the price -- great bit of kit Review: Sounds wonderful! - After spending A LOT of time comparing different DAC's for my IEM's, I settled on the KA11 as it stood out above the rest. Definitely NOT disappointed. It sounds fantastic! Tested both on my PC and my Samsung smartphone, audio is crisp and clear, no distortion, and with a well-tuned EQ it really cannot be beaten. Excellent clarity and depth. I also find it doesn't have a dramatic effect on Smartphone battery life either, which was a concern, though I'm sure that will vary depending on which earbuds/headphones you use. The DAC does get a little warm after a little bit of use, but rest-assured that's totally normal. I will say however, this is a very powerful DAC. It is capable of driving larger headsets without an issue. With that being said, exercise caution if you are using sensitive IEM's (like me). I unfortunately accidentally blasted my ears briefly at 100% volume when I clicked an incorrect button on the PC FiiO app. Worth noting, even with very sensitive IEM's, the noise floor is incredibly low... I hear absolutely zero hiss or artifacts when no music is playing. Incredible. All in all, highly recommended. It blows a lot of the other DAC's at double the price-point out of the water. ## Features - The FIIO KA11 is a specialized HiFi USB adapter that connects to phones, tablets, and computers. Inside are high-performance DAC and headphone amplifiers that work together to bring a higher-quality listening experience. - Compared to the previous generation product, the KA11 is even more compact – making it even more portable and easier to carry around and use. Thoughtful design and specially chosen parts allow the KA11 to have a large power output despite its compact size, making for a solid foundation behind its great sound. 245mW@16Ξ© 200mW@32Ξ© - A high-performance DAC and op-amp, a high-precision crystal oscillator, as well as an independent power supply are all combined in a specially-designed audio circuit that allows the KA11 to effortlessly produce great sound.

As a result, the KA11 is Hi-Res Audio certified – a testament to its excellent sound. | PCM384kHz/32bit | DSD256 | THD+N: <0.0006% | SNR: 125dB Noise: <1.7uV - The cable is made of high-purity oxygen-free palladium-plated copper wires, which allow for low impedance, quick transmission of signals, and resist external interference. The copper wires are covered by a layer of flexible silicone and braided cloth, making for a soft yet durable cable. The aluminium-magnesium alloy body is tough, yet also looks elegant with its perfectly placed curves and its inlaid designs. It is a device that will surely catch your eye. - With the KA11 being available with both USB Type-C or Lightning connectors, you can freely connect it to Android/iOS phones and tablets or to Windows and Mac computers – letting you freely listen to music at your convenience. - App control support - The KA11 supports control through the FiiO Control APP on Android devices with control over many aspects such as RGB lighting and digital filters. - The KA11 supports two modes, UAC2.0 and UAC1.0.

The difference compared with many other DACs is night and day. It's actually better than a creative USB sound card I use mostly for 5.1 channel sound. Even when listening to regular Mp3, AAC Vorbis, Opus or other compressed files. I couldn't even turn on the UHQ upscaler with the Samsung DAC dongle but I can with this. But to be fair, I'm now not sure my Samsung DAC dongle was a genuine Samsung product. But I bought that from an Amazon seller as well... This DAC also does DSD. Up to DSD512 oversampling I believe. Cirrus DAC chips like the one this uses are now some of the best. They seem to be making chips as good as Wolfson before Cirrus purchased the company. ## Frequently Bought Together - FiiO KA11 USB C to 3.5mm Audio Adapter 32bit/384KHz, USB Type C Dongle HiFi DAC Amplifier for Android/iOS/Windows/Mac (Black, TC) - FiiO FT1 Closed-Back Over-Ear Nanowood Fiber Composite Diaphragm Wired Hi-Fi Headphones, Detachable Cable, American Black Walnut Wood Ear Cups for Home, Studio, Recording (Black) - Apple USB-C to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/608672096-ka11-usb-dongle-dac-and-amp-usb-c-black](https://www.desertcart.it/products/608672096-ka11-usb-dongle-dac-and-amp-usb-c-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
