- [Great improvement brings High-performance and low distortion] : The new K3 amplifier employs the flagship portable ESS DAC, the ES9038Q2M. Compared to the AK4452, the signal-to-noise ratio has increased by 14dB and distortion has reduced by 13 dB. The ES9038Q2M DAC is matched with the mature OPA926 op-amp in a re-optimized LPF circuit for lower distortion and higher resolution.
- [USB Audio 1.0 and USB Audio 2.0, two modes for many situations]: (1)In high-performance applications, you can use the 2.0 mode to enjoy up to 384kHz/DSD 256 decoding. (2) For certain situations, you can use the 1.0 mode to enjoy up to 96kHz/24-bit PCM audio without needing any drivers.
- [Reliable USB power, more reliable and stable connection]: The new K3 amplifier adopts the modern USB Type-C input interface for a more reliable and stable connection, including that of power. However, care to ensure an uncompromised power supply doesn't stop there – the new K3 implements overvoltage protection (OVP) and a double-filter circuit to ensure power supply stability, while the digital and analog audio circuits each get their own power supply to greatly reduce crosstalk.
- [Gain and bass switches, with variety of headphones]: The switch for high and low gain ensures that you can use the new K3 dac with a wide variety of headphones, and that your listening volume needs are covered. The hardware bass boost switch enhances the dynamic range of the lower frequencies and gives them some extra punch to really make your songs, games, and movies come to life.
- [Multi Connection options for you to choose]: (1)Dual headphone jacks- for you to connect it with a desktop computer. (2) Coaxial and Optical digital outs- for you to connect to speaker systems, amplifiers, or other external decoders.(3)Line out connector- for you to ensure compatibility with a wide variety of active speakers and external amplifiers

Dual headphone jacksBeing optimized for indoor desktop use, the new K3 is equipped with both 3.5mm single-ended and 2.5mm balanced headphone jacks. Both outputs have audio jack detection, which means that when headphones are inserted into the balanced out, balanced boost automatically kicks in resulting in about a 50% output power increase compared to the single-ended out. |
Line outThe 3.5mm line out is driven directly by the OPA1612 op-amp, to ensure as little sound quality reduction as possible. The line out output is also adjustable with maximum power output up to 2Vrms, to ensure compatibility with a wide variety of active speakers and external amplifiers. PS: When using the line out, please disconnect any headphones |
Reliable USB Type-C input interfaceThe new K3 adopts the modern USB Type-C input interface for a more reliable and stable connection, including that of power. However, care to ensure an uncompromised power supply doesn't stop there – the new K3 implements overvoltage protection (OVP) and a double-filter circuit to ensure power supply stability, while the digital and analog audio circuits each get their own power supply to greatly reduce crosstalk. |
Coaxial and Optical digital outs
The XMOS USB receiver chip in the new K3 directly converts any USB audio input to digital signals output via the coaxial and optical connectors, allowing you to connect to speaker systems, amplifiers, or other external decoders.
* The volume knob does not control digital output volume. The New K3 headphone amps can output digital audio signals up to 192kHz and DSD64 over DoP. Please adjust the settings of the device you are connecting the NEW K3 to if the device does not support the digitally output format.
Different connection options for your choice
1. Connect it to a desktop computer when you at home or office.
2. Use the driverless 1.0 mode for your business trips.
3. Make it a digital turntable connected to an external decoder, you would love it.
4. Connect it to a speaker, using the New K3 amplifier as a DAC. You would know how HiFi it is.

Two modes for many situationsSometimes, you may not have access to a device that can connect to the new K3 via USB Audio Class 2. In these situations, you can go to USB Audio Class 1 mode with just the flick of a switch. · In high-performance applications, you can use the 2.0 mode to enjoy up to 384kHz/DSD 256 decoding. · For certain situations, you can use the 1.0 mode to enjoy up to 96kHz/24-bit PCM audio without needing any drivers. *Using the 2.0 mode requires downloading and installing the FiiO USB driver *After switching USB modes, you need to either turn the new K3 off and on, or unplug and plug in the USB cable. |
