Thanks for the review. I have a bit of a general question. I've been using the Fiio KA11 for a while now. When choosing between lowpass filters, it doesn't make an audible difference when playing lossless-and especially high-resolution-tracks on Apple Music. But this difference is incredibly noticeable on Spotify. Depending on the filter I choose, some tracks are much better, while others are almost unlistenable. Do you think this is normal? Can you at least tell me which filter is the most suitable for Spotify? Because even NOS makes a significant difference and adds a lot of warm to music.

[@PortaFi]

Unfortunately I don't use Spotify, so I can't say anything about that. But in general, there is no "right" or "wrong" options here, just select the one you like and use it

FiiO KA11 ДЯКУЮ!

[@SuperZedd]

Does it sound better than Fiio KA3?

[@PortaFi]

no, but I'd say the difference is more taste-based, KA11 sounds slightly mode "fun" to my ears

[@SuperZedd]

@@PortaFi I understand. Obviously the KA11 is a upgrade for KA1, and not the KA3. Does the KA11 consume much power for the source? I didn’t find any info regarding battery consumption. I know the KA3 uses 130ma.
