For anyone whose IEMs or headphones need more than a phone jack ever offered, it is one of the best value upgrades in portable audio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eType and Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe KA13 is a portable USB DAC and headphone amplifier using dual CS43131 DAC chips and dual SGM8262 op amps. It decodes PCM up to 384kHz\/32bit and native DSD256, and its 3.5mm jack doubles as a coaxial SPDIF output. Desktop mode raises the power ceiling when connected to a stronger USB source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSound Character\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe KA13 sounds clean and energetic with a near neutral balance and a touch of smoothness from its Cirrus Logic chips. With 550mW balanced on tap in desktop mode it drives planar IEMs and mainstream full size headphones convincingly, far beyond what its size suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuild and Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA CNC aluminum shell with a clear status LED keeps things simple: no screen, just reliable plug and play with phones, computers and consoles. Both 3.5mm and 4.4mm balanced outputs are onboard, and at 56.3 x 22 x 10.5 mm and 18.5g it adds nothing to your pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBest For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValue focused listeners who want balanced output and real power without spending three figures.
