Description

Upgrade your desktop audio scene with the all-new FiiO K15, it’s a feature-packed all-in-one Desktop DAC, Streamer, and Headphone Amplifier. Equipped with all-new flagship-grade AKM AK4497S “Velvet Sound” DAC chipset and a fully balanced, differential signal path from DAC to amplifier for supreme channel separation and minimal noise. It packs a precisely designed, discrete Class-AB amp circuit that promises up to 3,000mW per channel output. FiiO K15 can be used as a streamer as well, it has Roon Ready certification, and full compatibility with Apple AirPlay 2. FiiO K15 can be used in multiple scenarios, such as a standalone DAC, a dedicated headphone amplifier, a complete network streamer, or a proper all-in-one device handling all these previously mentioned tasks simultaneously. All-New AKM Dual-DAC Chipset FiiO K15 brings an advanced dual DAC chipset featuring AKM’s latest AK4479SVQ DAC chips. They feature upgraded “Velvet Sound” audio technology, promising silky smooth Hi-Res audio signal processing with ultra-low distortion, wide dynamic range, and extended signal bandwidth. These are the latest flagship-grade 32-bit DAC chips developed by AKM. Powerful Output With Discrete Class AB Headphone Amplification Circuit FiiO has equipped the K15 with a professionally designed discrete Class AB headphone amplifier circuit. It features OPAMPs+Transistor current-boosting design. The K15 houses a pair of ON Semiconductor MJE243G/253G chips that deliver high-current amplification and low-impedance output. This setup produces a strong output reaching up to 3W per channel. With such tremendously powerful output, the FiiO K15 easily drives full-sized headphones. Its low-impedance output makes it compatible with high-sensitivity IEMs as well. FiiO also have a five-level adjustable gain for easy pairing with both low-sensitivity and high-sensitivity audio gear. Fully Balanced Audio Circuitry FiiO has designed the K15 with a fully balanced audio circuitry. Everything on the K15, the DAC decoding, low-pass filtering, gain control, and headphone amplification, the entire audio circuitry has a fully balanced design. It ensures clean output with ultra-low distortion, reduced crosstalk, minimal noise, and wide dynamic range. Independent Audio Circuits FiiO K15 features independently designed audio circuits. The internal power supply, digital section, and analogue section, each have a separate and independent board. This effectively results in precise and consistent performance by different sections of the audio circuitry on the K15. Clean and Precise Power Supply Section FiiO K15 features a built-in next-generation 30W(12V~2.5A), low-noise, high-efficiency, long-lasting, industrial and instrumentation-grade power supply. It also supports an external DC power supply, which makes it compatible with external linear power supplies for enhanced performance. FiiO K15 adopts independent power supplies for digital and analogue sections....
