FiiO K1 Portable USB Headphone Amplifier And DAC

A new page in FiiO’s DAC/amplifier catalogue; the new K1 offers outstanding sound reproduction in a case not much bigger than your thumb! Never again do you need to remember to charge the amp as it is fully powered by USB, a first for this kind of FiiO product. The K1 utilises Savitech’s SA9023A USB receiver to decode USB audio, which TI’s high fidelity, low noise PCM5102 DAC chip then outputs to a TPA6132A2 headphone driver. A self-muting function then greatly reduces power on/off transients giving a hassle-free music experience. All of this contained within an elegant sandblasted metal casing to increase its durability and grip.

One of the K1’s big strengths is its versatility as a plug-and-play device. Not only does it required no charging, it also requires no addition drivers meaning that it can be used immediately after plugging it into your computer. This is no mean feat considering it’s a miniscule 50mm x 20.5mm x 8mm and only weighs 11.3g! A removable clip makes this one of the most portable and effortless DAC/Amplifier combos around!
