It’s a feature-rich device all set to launch with the latest-generation hardware. FiiO has featured all-new AKM AK4497S “Velvet Sound” DAC chips that promise outstanding high-resolution audio signal processing. At the core, we also have a dedicated discrete Class AB amplifier circuit with a whopping 3,000mW output per channel. FiiO K15 stands out in the price segment with its streaming functions as well, it has full Roon Ready certification and Apple AirPlay 2 support. Upgrade your desktop with the all-new FiiO K15, a standalone complete device crafted for audiophiles.

FiiO K15 is available in two exciting colour options priced at just $549. Check out more details here.

At the core of the FiiO K15, we have a premium dual DAC chipset featuring two flagship DAC chips from AKM Technologies. It houses dual AK4497S chips, which makes it the very first market-available device featuring these advanced 32-bit DAC chips. With proper implementation, FiiO has made sure the K15 provides exceptional performance in processing high-resolution audio signals. It maintains top-level performance with ultra-low distortion, high SNR, and high DNR values while processing 32-bit PCM and Native DSD audio signals. The AKM AK4497SVQ DAC chips feature AKM’s advanced “Velvet Sound” technology, it promises a silky smooth, rich sound quality. Combined with the clean and natural DAC setup, we have a powerful discrete Class AB headphone amplification circuit on the K15. It features OPAMPs and uses current boosting transistors as well. FiiO has equipped the K15 with a pair of ON Semiconductor MJE243G/253G chips that deliver high-current amplification and low-impedance output. K15 achieves a powerful output of about 3W per channel, strong enough to drive even the demanding headphones with ease. FiiO K15 features five-level gain adjustment, which makes it a great companion for both low and high-sensitivity IEMs and Headphones.

FiiO K15 features fully balanced audio circuitry with independent boards for digital, analog, and power supply sections. This independent design and fully balanced audio circuit ensures top-tier performance with ultra-low distortion, reduced crosstalk, and minimal noise floor. Even with sensitive Headphones and IEMs, you won’t hear any noise floor with the K15. The K15 also features independent accusilicon low-phase, ultra-low-phase jitter femtosecond crystal oscillators. Clocked at 45.158MHz and 49.1520MHz, they effectively provide clean signal processing with reduced phase interference.

FiiO K15 is a standalone device that can be used in multiple scenarios. With ROON Ready and Apple AirPlay2 support, stream your favourite music, with dedicated digital inputs, use the K15 as a dedicated DAC, with Bluetooth input, use it as a wireless Bluetooth DAC/AMP, and with a clean line-in function, use the K15 as a dedicated headphone amplifier. One device can be used for multiple purposes. For clean and powerful output, FiiO K15 features a next-generation low-noise, high-efficiency power supply. It also supports an external DC power supply for better and enhanced sound performance. The FiiO K15 features an independent power supply for the digital and analog sections of the audio circuitry. The K15 has excellent build quality and also features a 3.93” touchscreen colourful display.

FiiO K15 is a highly versatile device; it is perfect for every scenario you can imagine for your desktop HiFi audio setup. With 10-band PEQ support, users can fine-tune and adjust the output with ease. Additionally, we also have dual-band WiFi, an Ethernet port for lossless HiFi audio streaming. Treat yourself this season with the all-new FiiO K15 today and experience high-resolution audio at your desktop with a single device. It is available for $549. Check out more information here.
