The FiiO KA15, metal body and lit screen

An all-metal dongle

The KA15 fits into 52 x 25 x 11 mm for 21 grams, in a metal body milled, then anodised and polished. An LCD shows the sampling rate in use, and the USB-C cable detaches. A lanyard hole lets you attach a cord.

The two 3.5 and 4.4 mm headphone outputs of the dongle

Two CS43198 converters

Conversion relies on two Cirrus Logic CS43198, one per channel. The 3.5 mm output delivers 290 mW into 16 ohms and 180 mW into 32 ohms; the balanced 4.4 mm output rises to 510 then 560 mW into the same loads. Stated signal-to-noise ratios reach 122 and 123 dB into 32 ohms.

Detachable USB-C cable connected to a phone

768 kHz and DSD256

The USB-C input accepts up to 768 kHz at 32-bit as well as DSD64, DSD128 and DSD256. The 3.5 mm socket doubles as an SPDIF output, up to 384 kHz. FiiO recommends impedances of 16 to 150 ohms single-ended and 16 to 300 ohms balanced.

A ten-band equaliser

A ten-band parametric equaliser works without loss, with import, export and sharing of curves. Volume adjusts in sixty coarse or one hundred and twenty fine steps. A patented desktop mode raises the available power, and the 3.5 mm socket recognises CTIA in-line controls and their microphone.
