It is the middle child of FiiO's dongle range in size only; the feature list reads like a much more expensive device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eType and Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe KA15 is a portable USB DAC and headphone amplifier built on dual CS43198 DAC chips and dual SGM8262 op amps. It decodes PCM up to 768kHz\/32bit and DSD256 over USB, offers coaxial SPDIF output up to 384kHz through its 3.5mm jack, and unlocks 560mW per channel balanced at 32 ohms in desktop mode with external power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSound Character\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCS43198 chips are prized for their natural, slightly warm musicality, and the KA15 follows suit: smooth vocals, well textured bass and an unfatiguing top end. FiiO's 10 band lossless parametric EQ lets you reshape that baseline precisely for each pair of earphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuild and Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 0.96 inch IPS color screen, a first in this class, shows volume, format and EQ status, with physical buttons alongside. Outputs include 3.5mm single ended and 4.4mm balanced in a body of just 52 x 25 x 11 mm and about 21g, so it disappears between phone and pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBest For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIEM listeners who value tone and tuning flexibility over raw wattage, but still want desktop mode headroom in reserve.
