Fiio just released a new update just after I released my video Here is the link to the forum post :- forum.fiio.com/note/showNoteContent.do?id=202403121546197194373 Please do upgrade to this 🙂
Hey I think I saw the Letshouer D13!! I have that set! Anyway, thank you for the great review! I am kind of maxed out with dongle dacs at the moment, but the KA17 looks pretty cool.
Hey!! thank you again for the support and kind words Bass Dad ☺️❤️ I really appreciate it. D13? i think so you meant the S15. i sadly dont own the D13. Hehe, there is nothing like too many dongle dac's 😂 But jokes aside, yes the KA17 is that one dac you can buy and be done with. Because it has EQ and it performs really well.
Hello, really appreicate you stopping by 🙂❤️ Also sorry for the late reply Thank you so much for your kind words!! it really means a lot when you say that 😄❤️ I hope you enjoy the ka17 like i did
Thanks so much bro ❤️ Means a lot coming from you. Really appreciate you stopping by. The efficientness is something given, with the amount of power it pushes. 🙂
How does this compare to ka 11 interms of sound (technically )... Also how does kz castor scale.. castor is my only iem and i am using it with jcally jm04pro gives 70mW. I wanted to buy ka 11 because i felt it will improve more.. did it improve with high power ??
did the latest firmware update add more user eq presets ? because 3 is ok if you only have one iem but if you have more than one this is not enough, or if you want to play with autoeq on squig to mimic a few famous super expensive iems through autoeq, is not enough. thanks
Hello, i am not so sure about it. But you can personally dm the fiio support team. They are very friendly and they do listen to suggestions. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by, i really appreciate it. 🙂❤️
fyi your bass boost eq preset for low volume listening is coming from the fletcher muson loudness curves, so you must also bump up high freq for low level listening ( a sort of U shape eq instead of a bass boost)
Hello, sorry for the late reply. Yes i am aware of that, i actually did do that just forgot to speak about it. And yes the tad bit of boost really helps for low volume listening Thanks for stopping by, i really appreciate it. 🙂❤️
Hello, good video, I am new to this audiophile and I just bought this ka17, I would like to know which model of Fiio brand in-ear headphones is compatible to get the most out of it or if not what other brand recommends
Hello, really appreicate you stopping by 🙂❤️ Also sorry for the late reply Thats great! hope you enjoy the ka17. As for headphones i am not apt in giving any suggestion on that as i dont use much headphones and havent tested a lot. But for iems i would suggest setting a budget and then searching for an iem whose sound you might think you will like or will go well with the songs you listen too. Also read and watch as much as reviews possible or best would be to demo them at a physical shop Also do update the firmware of ka17 to v2.0 as of me posting this comment its the latest version
do you still hear a difference between ka17 and the other dongles with 128k mp3 or these difference only show up on higher quality music files (dsd, lossless)
Hello, sorry for the late reply. If there were some issues, it might have been fixed in the latest v2.0 update. They do speak about some fixing some eq issues in it, Sorry i dont use apple music or any streaming service on daily. Thanks for stopping by, i really appreciate it. 🙂❤️
@@ДмитрийДорохин-ф6р Thanks, so you recommend ka17 ? It gives good enough sound to you ? Because 15s is serious and not cheap dap. Not expecting it's sound level but still need good sounding dongle. And so many options to choose as ru7, ibasso dc series and so on. Hard to choose.
@@AbalMarius Прежде всего я хочу сказать что я люблю звук fiio, он мне ближе и понятней чем другие, мне нравится ESS. Да ка17 обладает хорошим взрослым звуком, безусловно m15s дает более дорогой звук, но я не могу сказать что принципиально, а разница в цене колоссальная. Я могу сказать по мне он на голову или даже на две лучше ка5. И я могу вам посоветовать ка17 от себя, действительно очень хороший DAC.
In my opinion, for gaming any dac is ok. You dont need to buy a very good dac for it. Even the cheap $24-29 fiio ka11 dac is more than enough. Where you will find a difference is maybe in iems. Iems like simgot ea500lm and em6l are really good gaming iem for under $100
Hello, sorry for the late reply. I havent tested any iems under $500, so sorry cant really comment on it Thanks for stopping by, i really appreciate it. 🙂❤️
@@hokagoteatimereviews trying to figure out what to get. I want to pair it with my Samsung s8 tablet, was thinking aune yuki, Cayin ru7, fiio q15 or questyle m15i/m12i. I don’t necessarily need the Bluetooth, because I’ll just use the btr7 for that (watching videos on my tv basically).

bro is it ok to buy product from aliexpress ?? i live in india. is it real? not fake or something like that ?
Extremely pleased with the way you reviewed the FiiO Ka17. Best video I have ever seen on this product so far... 😊
I was looking around and got this review, it's the best DAC review I have seen yet. All the details crisp and clear.
Thank you so much for that. 🙂❤️
It means a tonne specially coming from someone like you. 🙏❤️
I am glad you liked that video.

I'll finish buying dongle dac after buying ka17. Thanks for your video. It helps me a lot 😃
Hello, really appreicate you stopping by 🙂❤️
Also sorry for the late reply
Thank you so much for your kind words!! it really means a lot when you say that 😄❤️ I hope you enjoy the ka17 like i did
great review, i have the same dac / amp and absolutely love it, sounds leaps and bounds better than anything in its price range, WELL WORTH IT!
Thank you so much for the kind words! 🙂❤️
Really appreciate it you stopping by.
Yes the ka17 sounds so good
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise!
Thank you so much!! 🙏❤️
Amazing review bro, very insightful. It seems like these are perfect for warmer leaning IEMs. Too bad it's not a very efficient device
Thanks so much bro ❤️
Means a lot coming from you.
Really appreciate you stopping by.
The efficientness is something given, with the amount of power it pushes. 🙂
Can you compare it against iBasso DC Elite and ONIX Alpha XI1?
Hey, thanks for stopping by. Really appreciate it. 🙂❤️
Sadly i havent tested either of them, would have loved too
thanks for the beautiful review ... +1 sub gain ❤
Thank you so much!
Really appreciate it ☺️

Loseless files are better for these offcourse

when eq is applied in KA17 is apple music working properly.. some of them are saying they r having issue in forum of FIIO

Москва на месте, смотрим! У меня на ранней прошивке проблем не было. Скоро и плееры будут не нужны. Ка 17 вполне заменяет мой M15S).
Hello friend 🙂👋
Thank you for your support. Yes! the ka17 is very capable
M15s is separate dap. How ka17 could do it?
@@AbalMarius Я хотел сказать, что все меньше пользуюсь плеером, по звуку ка17 не на много проще, поэтому в работе в основном он.

How you getting output through c port of this hiby m300?
It works just like any other usb c port on your smartphone.
Thanks for stopping by, i really appreciate it. 🙂❤️
epz tp50 or ka17 for gaming on pc with iem? thanks
In my opinion, for gaming any dac is ok. You dont need to buy a very good dac for it. Even the cheap $24-29 fiio ka11 dac is more than enough.
Where you will find a difference is maybe in iems. Iems like simgot ea500lm and em6l are really good gaming iem for under $100
If for competitive FPS games, I would suggest Fiio Ka17. With better imaging and soundstage, you can map the footsteps and gunfires much better 👍
Thanks!
bro suggest some low volume listening IEMs under $500
Hello, sorry for the late reply.
I havent tested any iems under $500, so sorry cant really comment on it
Thanks for stopping by, i really appreciate it. 🙂❤️
How does it compare to btr7?
Hello, sorry i didnt use the btr7. So cant compare them.
