► USB DAC #FiiO # KA3 uses a dedicated chip from ESS: ES9038Q2M. The device supports music playback up to 768 kHz / 32 bit and native DSD512. The device does not have its own power supply, the device eats away a modest 5 volts 0.139 amperes from a smartphone or PC.
In total, the first mobile # DAC by FiiO made an extremely positive impression on me: a well-made case, a full-fledged DAC in the filling, two outputs for any tastes and just insane power up to 240 mW at 32 ohms of load. Yes, it is heavy, heats up, there is no support for MQA decoding, and for maximum quality you need to switch the impedance depending on the situation. On the other hand, this is really the sound that I expected from the iBasso DC05. KA3, against the background of competitors, has a cleaner detailed sound, with better detail, similar melody and slightly loses in terms of the volume of background instruments.
I am absolutely satisfied with the results, FiiO has always been famous for such a bright character with excellent portrayal, high attention to micro-contrast and a very clean technical middle. This is exactly what they did this time. ▼•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
