FiiO K15 desktop DAC and headphone amplifier

The FiiO K15 is an all-in-one desktop DAC, streamer and headphone amplifier built around the flagship-grade AKM AK4497S "Velvet Sound" DAC chipset. Its fully balanced, differential signal path runs from DAC to amplifier for strong channel separation and low noise.

• Dual AK4497S DAC setup
• Discrete class AB transistor current-boosting headphone amplifier
• Two ultra-low phase noise femtosecond crystal oscillators
• 3,000mW + 3,000mW output
• Fully balanced audio circuitry
• 3.93 inch touch screen display
• Infrared remote control included
• 2.4G/5G dual-band Wi-Fi and Gigabit Ethernet
• High-resolution Bluetooth input — LDAC, AAC and SBC supported
• Local playback via external USB storage
• Roon Ready and AirPlay 2 streaming
• Independent analogue and digital power supply
• 10-band PEQ
• Multi-layered circuit protection

The K15 works as a standalone DAC, a dedicated headphone amplifier, a network streamer, or all three simultaneously.

AKM dual-DAC chipset

The K15 uses dual AKM AK4497S 32-bit chips with "Velvet Sound" audio technology, delivering hi-res audio processing with ultra-low distortion, wide dynamic range and extended signal bandwidth.

Discrete class AB headphone amplification circuit

The K15 uses a professionally designed discrete class AB circuit with an op-amp plus transistor current-boosting design. A pair of ON Semiconductor MJE243G/253G chips provide high-current amplification and low-impedance output, reaching up to 3W per channel.

Five-level adjustable gain makes it straightforward to pair with both high-sensitivity IEMs and harder-to-drive full-sized headphones. If you're looking for a more compact option, the FiiO K13 R2R is a smaller desktop DAC and amplifier also available from CEN.

Fully balanced audio circuitry

The entire audio circuit is fully balanced, covering DAC decoding, low-pass filtering, gain control and headphone amplification. The result is ultra-low distortion, reduced crosstalk, minimal noise and wide dynamic range.
