FIIO K11 Desktop 1400 W Power Balanced Hoofdtelefoon DAC & Versterker 384 kHz/24Bit DSD256 voor Home Audio/PC 6.35mm/4.4mm/RCA/Coaxiale/Optische (zwart)

Fonctionne out of the box, permet d'atteindre les 192khz sur Apple Music, contrôle très simple. Bien assez puissant pour la plus part des casques hifi (dans mon cas, un hifiman edition XS)

Bought this on the back of Youtube reviews. Was looking for a handy DAC/AMP at a friendly budget and this has been superb. I play my FPS games on the mid setting at 60/99 volume and it's perfect. Plenty room to have this louder.I pair this with DT900 Pro X and some IEM'

I am running as a DAC/headphone amplifier for a Bluesound streamer via the optical connector.I have a pair of Audeze LCD-2 headphones which are tough to drive and for which I have upgraded to a 4.4mm balanced cable.The FIIO K11 drives the big Audezes with ease and the combination sounds great - detailed with clear, deep bass, clear midrange and nice high frequency definition without sounding shrill or sibilant.The menus are very easy to navigate - I migrated from a Chord Mojo2 which was a nightmare with all its coloured LEDs (it eventually died and I have not got round to getting it fixed yet).I am very happy with the FIIO K11 and would recommend it strongly. For the price it is an absolute steal!

It's very easy to set up and use it. The sound quality seems great with my Audio Technica M50X headphones and my Edifier MR4 speakers (which are connected through the line out ports with RCA cables, so only the DAC is used).The interface is easy to use with the single button (which feels smooth to touch). However, I would've preferred it if you could configure the single press shortcut, instead of being fixed to choosing the input source. I have two outputs, and I change the output much more often than the input (which is never). Apart from that, you need to hold the button for 6 seconds to turn it off, which is annoying IMO.

This is a wire with gain. Mine came with firmware v125. Sound can now be somewhat controlled through Windows in USB mode. Firmware v125 has filter number 3 as default.As for the DAC part of the deal, it blows onboard sound implementations out of the water, even the ones from high end motherboards. It also blows the old Xonar DX / STX dedicated sound cards from last decade out of the water. Those were CS4398 (the CS43198's grandpa, this is what the K11 is built around) and BB PCM1792A, great parts.As for the amplifier part of the deal... with the balanced output, it drives my HD650s to ear damaging sound levels in high gain mode. It could easily be run in low gain mode for most modern content that's loud and compressed by default. Middle gain is a good middle ground.Go get a balanced cable if you have one of the 300 ohm Senns, it's worth it. For other cans the single ended output is more than enough.The complete package is outstanding. Sound quality is amazing.For music and movies, you get detail, dynamics, engaging presentation, speed. Not dull at all. You will hear it all as it was recorded in all its glory. If it was recorded good it will be amazing. If it was recorded bad it'll be bad. You can't polish a turd. I'm using filter 6 (no filter).For gaming (CS2, for example) the presented image is expansive and accurate (and this also applies to music). You will have no issues pinpointing where the other players (or instruments) are around you.The price/value is amazing. I firmly believe this K11 right could be considered endgame gear for most. I don't know how much better things can get in both DAC and amp departments over $129, if they ever do.FiiO really outdid themselves with this little beast, and the K11 is just the entry level product from the new generation.Oh, and when you read in reviews that the HD600/HD650s don't have a ceiling and they keep scaling and scaling with better gear, that's completely true. Now I wonder how much more those headphones can do...
