FiiO flagship grows wood – But it's not just wooden side panels which distinguish the new K17 R2R Pro streaming DAC from the precursor. As the name indicates, the AKM converter chips made room for a discrete 24-bit resistor-array DAC with NOS/OS modes. Also, the remote wand finally goes metal. Otherwise it's still a 4wpc/32Ω headamp, still sports RCA/XLR line outs, a 35W linear power supply, 4" screen, RCA/4.4mm analog inputs and integrated WiFi antenna. There's even software-based 31 PEQ adjustable via control app or web browers, with our compensation curves saved directly to the unit. Pricing TBA.
