USB dongles are characterized by their small size and small output power, but the KA13 is bound to break the rules and achieve a breakthrough in power in a small space. It adopts the “Desktop Mode” which was generally seen in FiiO's high-end products to achieve robust performance nearly equal to a desktop device, and make the KA13 come with the highest output power among USB dongles.
With the “Desktop Mode” on, the maximum sustained undistorted output power of the balanced port goes up to 550mW per channel, which is nearly equal to a desktop device, so that it can drive most headphones, allowing you to enjoy quality music in both portable and desktop use scenarios.
Listening experience is subjective, but the configuration can be truly seen, and is the basis of a good sound. FiiO chose a better configuration for the KA13 in USB dongles at the same price range -- dual high-performance low-power consumption DAC chip CS4313 + dual low-noise op-amp chip SGM8262. The dual-core golden combo features excellent performance and indicators with superior resolution. With support for 32bit/384kHz PCM and DSD256, the KA13 despite its tiny size is capable of highly-detailed sound.
In addition to high output power and configurations, FiiO also attach great importance to user experience. Being carefully crafted, the KA13 is outstanding in all aspects. Here are the details.
