The 3.5mm output also supports SPDIF output. The FiiO KA17 offers an excellent solution for various sources, including Android, iOS, PCs, and more. Alongside the KA17 delivering a powerful sound while on the go with mobile sources — thanks to its independent power supply — it also features a ‘Desktop Mode’ which can be manually selected to increase the power output to an impressive 650mW. As well as settings being accessible via the built-in screen, the KA17 also works with the FiiO Control media app for Android and iOS.
