FiiO KA11 USB Dongle DAC and Amp (Lightning, Silver)

This little dongle is great, iPhone version. Runs a bit warm but ok. Sounds superb and drives all headphones with which it has been tried at more than decent volume levels. Battery drain not too terrible. Happy.

Excellent purchase. Terrific sound quality.

Fits the iPhone I have.

This DAC works and the sound quality is acceptably good, especially for the price point and is a great cheap DAC if you need the lightning end. My only issue is that after a few days of mostly gentle use the connectivity would sometimes disconnect and I would either have to plug back in the lightning or jack end to reconnect. If your on a tight budget, I would say not to worry about this too much and make use of it anyway.

Very disappointed with this item, as it will not work with Fiio control app on iphone.

Very good (indeed) for the money - boosts the volume with good sound balance, and plenty of clarity. Boosts the bass a bit on my Austrian Audio Hi-X15 Headphones; in fact it has a great synergy with these headphones. It also boosts the sound of my Soundmagic E11 headphones. It does drain the battery of my iPhone SE faster than the generic dongle I used to use, but that is only a minor issue. Had mine for about a month now - bought elsewhere as Amazon didn’t have stock at the time, with no problems. Just plug and play with whatever streaming service you use. Will be buying one for my son’s cracker this Xmas.

Bought the IPhone lightning version of this DAC. Connection is temperamental-seems to only been recognised in one-sided use. Flip the connector around and the device is not active. May be a contacts issue with my phone of course, but haven’t noticed this with other devices. Sound is marginally bright with slightly hyped treble for my taste. If I had the USB-C version I could adjust this in the app I believe, but not for the lightning version. The DAC does deliver a good volume output and drives my in-ear Beyerdynsmic buds well. Might get a USB-C dongle for my IPad Pro as well. Overall recommended within it’s limitations for the lightning version

Great dongle DAC but is available for less than £30 on aliexpress. This price is far too high.

El producto que compre es lightning- jack 3.5: estoy muy impresionado con el poder del producto, casi me da un infarto por que el volumen estaba al tope, es normal el calentamiento del DAC el material se ve muy resistente. El único inconveniente es que cuando configuro el ecualizador el cambio es casi imperceptible, y eso no me gusta ☹️y la otra es que en dispositivos Android si manejan la app para configurar el DAC y en IOS no ☹️☹️☹️… de ahí en adelante aún no tengo los audífonos correspondientes para verificar la calidad del audio pero con los que tengo si hay una notable diferencia 10/10

Je ne suis pas content du tout. Lors de la commande il n'était pas dit la différence entre les deux modèles lightning et usb c. Ce qui fait que jai commandé le mauvais. Le lightning est uniquement pour les anciens iPhone. Donc je ne peux rien en faire.

Son clair propre et détaillé par contre il chauffe très vite .. et pas qu un peu .. dommage 🥲 ..est ce un problème récurrent ?? A voir dans le temps

This is a really great DAC and was able to handle my gear well with my older iPhone. It only got slightly warm after several hours of use, as explained in the manual. I would buy it again and have recommended to others.

Pretty nice little guy, it can handle low to medium impedance headphones (used with Hifiman Edition XS and the Hifiman HE-4XX and can crank basically any iems) in sound terms i think is kind of well colored and may have a little tune on high frequency’s but the comfort will depend on your headphones.
