DESCRIPTION

FiiO New K3 Headphone Amplifier with DAC

The FiiO New K3 headphone amplifier with DAC is a new generation indispensable device for those who especially value high sound quality. This device is an excellent way to significantly improve the sound quality reproduced by headphones when listening to music directly from a computer. The FiiO New K3 headphone amplifier with DAC connects to a computer via a USB connection. This allows the computer to not use its integrated sound card and transfer the entire burden of sound processing to an external D/A converter. The internal design of this device is comprehensively adapted for high-quality sound processing, which, compared to a standard computer sound card, produces significantly higher quality sound. Of course, it is important to mention that this device not only takes care of converting the digital signal into analog but also amplifies it. This allows increasing the headphone volume level and making the sound even more qualitative.

Internal components that are comprehensively adapted to create good sound quality

As mentioned earlier, all internal components of this USB-DAC device are adapted for achieving good sound quality. A perfect example of this is the integrated ES9038Q2M D/A converter. This is a completely new generation D/A converter, which is not only more advanced but also more durable than the old FiiO converter. Compared to the old one, this DAC helped reduce the sound distortion level by an additional 13dB. It is also important to mention that all internal electronic components are arranged in such a way that the audio signal path is as short as possible. This helps the audio signal reach the headphones faster and lose as little sound quality as possible. The thick casing of the device also plays a significant role, helping to protect the quality of the internal audio signal from various external factors.

Convenient device control and additional features

Like all other USB-DAC devices, this one also connects to a computer via a USB connection. In this case, the USB connection not only transmits the audio signal but also provides power to the device. After processing the audio signal, the FiiO K3 can output it in two different ways. The first way is the standard 3.5mm Jack connection. The second is a less commonly used but equally important 2.5mm balanced connection. The ability to use different audio signal outputs significantly increases the overall functionality of the device and makes it more universally applicable.
