FiiOKA11 USB Dongle DAC and Amp (Lightning, Silver)

Brings your iPhone sound quality and volume, alive!Yes it run's a bit warm - ignore that, its normalI used to think listening to Apple Music or Tidal on my iPhone, sounded great. I was wrong!For £28 (approx.), this little DAC (Lightning version) is a 100% no-brainer if you listen to music. Solid but lightweight, strong connections (it's not going to disconnect), sleek looking, and simply plug into your iPhone, then earphones into the DAC - nothing else to doIt's that good, I'm ordering the USB-C version too for my MacBook Pro!

Cheap, good sound and nicely built. Paired with Softears Volume S = Very impressive. Will drain battery of phone a little quicker but much less than imagined on a 2 year old iPhone 15 pro max.

Sent my unit backAfter upgrading the fw to 0.08 stopped working.Openned a ticket and the support sent me a new one for free with 0.08 pre installed and never works on my phone, fiddled with a lot of power/usb options in settings and it doesn't work.Any other dac Inuse in my phone works perfectly.Reddit is full of users wirh this issues too.Seems that fiio is more interested in creating eWaste than actually correct their products and guarantee support for them, or just uave them to work.This was my last fiio product, very disappointed.Not recommended

After spending A LOT of time comparing different DAC's for my IEM's, I settled on the KA11 as it stood out above the rest. Definitely NOT disappointed. It sounds fantastic! Tested both on my PC and my Samsung smartphone, audio is crisp and clear, no distortion, and with a well-tuned EQ it really cannot be beaten. Excellent clarity and depth. I also find it doesn't have a dramatic effect on Smartphone battery life either, which was a concern, though I'm sure that will vary depending on which earbuds/headphones you use. The DAC does get a little warm after a little bit of use, but rest-assured that's totally normal.I will say however, this is a very powerful DAC. It is capable of driving larger headsets without an issue. With that being said, exercise caution if you are using sensitive IEM's (like me). I unfortunately accidentally blasted my ears briefly at 100% volume when I clicked an incorrect button on the PC FiiO app. Worth noting, even with very sensitive IEM's, the noise floor is incredibly low... I hear absolutely zero hiss or artifacts when no music is playing. Incredible. All in all, highly recommended. It blows a lot of the other DAC's at double the price-point out of the water.

Purchased to use wired headphones with Tidal streaming to avoid compression. Audio quality is a leap up from Bluetooth. The device is small and unobtrusive. Usage is a simple as plugging it in. I like the LED light colour which tells you the audio quality. My only criticism is that it gets quite hot. For the price, I think this is good value for money.

Sounds great, not too big, looks nice, just works.

Really great sound and improves the loudness of your phone dramatically. Unfortunately the bendy flimsy design did not last very long and mine broke within months. Sent it back for a full refund.

This little dongle is great, iPhone version. Runs a bit warm but ok. Sounds superb and drives all headphones with which it has been tried at more than decent volume levels. Battery drain not too terrible. Happy.
