FiiO Unveils the K17: Headphone Amplifier for Audiophiles.
FiiO, a leader in high-fidelity audio equipment, proudly announces the launch of the FiiO K17, a premium headphone amplifier designed to meet the diverse needs of headphone enthusiasts and hi-fi aficionados. With cutting-edge features, unparalleled versatility, and an elegant design, the K17 sets a new benchmark in audio performance.
Priced at $899.99 USD (€999.99/£899), the K17 is packed with flagship-grade technology, including features borrowed from FiiO’s renowned K19 amplifier. Its custom 31-band professional-grade PEQ settings allow users to fine-tune their listening experience with precision. Powered by dual AKM flagship DAC chips (AK4191 + AK4499EX*2) and a fully discrete AB-class transistor amplification circuit, the K17 delivers a staggering 4000mW + 4000mW output for a rich, dynamic, and immersive soundstage.
Seamless Playback, Connectivity, and Control
The FiiO K17 supports streaming, Bluetooth, and local USB playback through an intuitive 3.93-inch LCD touchscreen, offering a seamless and responsive interface. For vinyl enthusiasts, the unit’s RCA IN makes it a perfect companion for turntables, bridging the gap between analog and digital sources effortlessly.
Connectivity options abound with dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4G/5G) and a 1000M Ethernet port, ensuring stable and high-speed data transmission. The included custom remote control provides extensive functionality, while the FiiO Connect app unlocks deeper customization, including the ability to personalize the touchscreen interface with retro-style VU meters.
Standalone or Hi-Fi System: The Choice is Yours
The K17 is ideal as a standalone unit for headphone enthusiasts, particularly when paired with FiiO’s award-winning FT5 headphones. However, its versatility shines when integrated into a full hi-fi system with the addition of active speakers. Thanks to its fully balanced audio architecture, three ultra-low phase noise femtosecond oscillators, and 35W low-noise, low-frequency linear power supply, the K17 promises exceptional audio clarity and fidelity.
Availability and pricing
The FiiO K17 will be available worldwide in late January 2025, priced at $899.99 USD (€999.99/£899).
