Review: Incredibly portable, and a noticeable sound change for me - It was smaller than I expected, but the screen is easy to read and easy to understand, and the cable can be unplugged in case it breaks, on my phone, an iPhone 14 pro max, the official Apple dongles sounded worse than this, and the cable for the old dongle was very weak and id go through them once every two months or so, but the cable for the KA5 has a braided sheath, and it adds an extra layer of protection for the cable, and the DAC feels ver durable in the hand, the glass is recessed for protection, within the metal body, and the controls are easy to use, and all the cables you need are in the box, listening to it, it makes it so you can play music loud, and hear the distinction of different objects in a song, the bass gets punchier, the guitars get more clear and distinct, the voices in a song feel like they fit with the song, and not one single instrument feels like its overpowering, and it just seems like they just got more distinct and clear-er, in my final notes, ive gotta say, its a very good device
Review: Amazing DAC. Pair it with an old iPad and your HiFi. - I've assembled a budget HiFi system using an old iPad. The internal DAC had a bunch of noise when using the internal 35mm headphone jack at certain frequencies. After some research I found this little gem. It plays my CD quality library flawlessly through to a Fosi Audio TB10D amplifier. It sounds fantastic through some significant Yamaha tower speakers.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this gonna sound better than fiio q3 origial?**
A: Never had the Q3,but I have the thx onyx which cost around $70 more the sound is comparable. The onyx is more smoother and ethereal, but the fiio hangs and it's way more versatile and technical. Can't beat the price and mainly got it for the inclusion of 4.4 balanced output. The app is also top notch.

**Q: How long does it take to charge the KA5 up?**
A: It doesn’t have a battery. It uses you phone/tablet/pc/Mac energy to work.

**Q: apple ios updates: Can you load firmware updates if you only have an ios system?**
A: My KA5 refuses to work with iOS (iPhone SE and iPhone 12). Very disappointing. About the update: the firmware update can only be done on a Windows computer. Sad, but true.

**Q: What kind of cable come with it?**
A: USB c to USB c, usb c to Lightning

I've assembled a budget HiFi system using an old iPad. The internal DAC had a bunch of noise when using the internal 35mm headphone jack at certain frequencies.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clarity at last!
*by C***S on September 5, 2024*

Even without using a media player that supports exclusive mode, it beats other compact DACs like the Meizu Hi-fi Pro. I guess the cirrus chips and per channel amps are actually capable of quality audio reproduction. It's not a significant drain on my phone's battery life, works with my PC, and offers configuration via app or on the device itself. It'd be nice if it could be clipped onto or magnetically attached to me, but at least it is quite small. Complaints aside, the sound quality with my BA IEMs easily makes up for any flaw.
