    Great review, got everything I needed to finally decide. Thanks for the review and have a nice day.

    I remember when I had the KA3 I thought it was incredible due to the power and cost factor, this will be another feat from Fiio with more power and again great cost!

    I have the shio and actually find it a bit warm, like it has a bump in the upper bass/ lower mids region. So not really sure what to make of the ka13...

    The output of the 4.4mm balance terminal is good. I have too many dongles.

    The KA13 doesn't support DSD256 as mentioned but "only" upto DSD128.

    Was looking forward to this one! 550mw in a dongle is no joke.😅How is the battery drain then on turbo?1hr? 2Hrs? Thanks.

    • @AniketKapse

      Battery drain is surprisingly very normal even on the high gain mode. My android phone barely warms up or feels any power drain. After listening to my hd650 for an hour the battery on my phone went down only by 3% which is nothing.

    So is this neutral or bright dongle? Planning to pair this with s12 pro and does it not have a app? Like the ibasso and moondrop dawn pro?

    Have you gotten a chance to try the Moondrop Dawn Pro? A little cheaper than this so would be interesting to compare them.

      Dawn pro is kinda bright, this is more neutral and more mature.
      Personally good DAC/DAP would stay as neutral as possible

    Don't see this priced at $65 anywhere.
    Do you know what vrms this is pushing balanced? I presume its 4 but not sure due to this desktop mode. Cheers

      It's ok - found it. Output Amplitude is 4.2v Balanced. 550mW - serious power for a little dongle 👍

    So... I'm a bit confused. You say it has a lean sound. but it has some emphasis on bass. So a V shape. but then you said the tonality is neutral?
