FiiO - K15
(Blue)
built on innovationCompetition amongst audio dongles has become increasingly intense, and the only way to stand out is innovation, so the KA15 has been completely revamped inside and out. It combines FiiO's experienced audio know-how on the inside with elements of retro tape recorder looks on the outside. The new generation of FiiO 5-series audio dongles inspires unlimited fun with avant-garde innovation and appeals to quality enthusiasts with a practical design. It combines great sound, ergonomics, fun, and aesthetics, all into a single tiny and convenient package!
The audiophile-grade DSP allows the KA15 to feature a ten-band high-precision lossless PEQ, which operates smoothly and with high quality thanks to FiiO's self-developed advanced adjustment algorithms. Through the control app or the web interface, not only can you simulate or correct the frequency response curve of headphones but you can also export, import, share, and save EQ curves. Whether you choose to use officially recommended tunings or choose to share your tunings online with other enthusiasts, you can easily enjoy setting up EQ the way you want it.

Intelligently Fun
dynamic power consumptionEquipped with a high-performance, low-power processor and high-precision chips, the KA15 features innovative real-time voltage and current monitoring for dynamic power adjustment. By recognizing the device's playback status, it intelligently adjusts the overall power consumption, allowing your phone to run using less power.
When you set a timer for music playback during the night, once the timer ends the KA15 will enter an ultra-low power sleep mode - so you don't have to worry about your phone's battery being low when you wake up the next day.
Compellingly Entertaining
an incredible displayThe KA15 is the first to use a 0.96-inch IPS true colour LCD screen among similar dongles and supports both Chinese and English language display. The settings menus have been designed to be more intuitive and user-friendly.
The KA15 also features a new retro dynamic UI, combining technological innovation with classic design. With the simulating spinning tape, you can truly feel the uniqueness of the KA15.
World-Class Technology
Patented Desktop ModeActivate Desktop Mode for more power, with balanced output power of 560mW_560mW, and incredible increase of 207% compared to the KA5, giving the KA15 enough headroom to drive both low and high impedance headphones.
Flagship ChipsThe winning combination of a high-performance USB chip, dual CS43198 flagship DACs + dual high-performance SGM8262 op-amps, allow for high performance in a small area, giving the small KA15 dongle more sound quality than its size would suggest.
Capable DecoderThe KA15 supports up to 768kHz/32bit and DSD256 sampling rates, easily handling multiple lossless audio formats to meet the demand for great audio quality. It's also Hi-Res Audio certified, a testament to its excellent sound.
Intelligent app controlFiiO's experience software team made it possible for the KA15 to be fully controlled by the FIIO Control app, including being able to adjust: PEQ, channel balance, UAC mode, volume, button mode, screen brightness, screen sleep time, theme, etc. More functionality is to be added through future firmware updates.
ergonomically designedTo suit your preferences better, you can choose which control modes to use: Dual modes for volume control, 60-step quick adjustment or 120-step fine adjustment.
In-line controlsMicrophones are supported, as a part of the 3.5mm jack that supports the CTIA standard of in-line controls - allowing you to not only use your microphone, but also to control music playback and volume.
Metal constructionThe all-metal body is meticulously crafted after going through several processes like precision CNC milling, anodizing, and polishing. The result is a smooth and refined texture that fits comfortably in the hand, while effectively reducing any external interference.
Wide compatibilityA detachable cable plus compatibility with Android/iOS/iPadOS/Windows/macOS allows you to seamlessly connect to a wide range of devices for a truly HiFi experience without restrictions.
