From the portable desktop-level unit M17, the portable desktop-grade DAC and amp Q7, to the more portable yet desktop-capable M15S, audiophiles' warm reactions to these models prove many love desktop-level audio gear. After being successfully applied to the three high-end models, the desktop mode will now evolve and be applied to audio dongles. The FIIO KA13 mini desktop amp features a desktop mode to fully unleash its performance. Let us show you what dongles can do, reaching the incredible heights of desktop-level gear.
Dual cores - A golden combo
With two high-performance yet highly efficient CS43131 DAC chips and two low-noise SGM8262 op-amps, this truly "dual-core" golden combo brings excellent performance. Rediscover your music collection again full of newly discovered details with the KA13.
Mini desktop amp - Big performance
The KA13 features a desktop mode, which the engraved lightning bolt logo hints at. In desktop mode, balanced output power goes up to 550mW, allowing the KA13 to drive both low and high-impedance headphones with excellent dynamics and detail.
High-res decoding - Higher detail
With support for 32bit/384kHz PCM and DSD256, the KA13 despite its tiny size is capable of highly-detailed sound. Hear the details and get a better look into your music.
Dual outputs - Thanks to real progress
The KA13 not only manages to fit a 3.5mm single-ended headphone out, it also manages to pack a 4.4mm balanced headphone out. FIIO engineers repeatedly adjusted the design of the KA13 and finally managed to fit two headphone outputs in the compact dongle, marking true progress in packaging capabilities.
