Our Pro Tip: Here is a handy comparison chart for the KA13 vs the KA15. Feature FiiO KA15 (The Pro Choice) FiiO KA13 (The Budget Powerhouse) DAC Chip Dual CS43198 (Flagship Series) Dual CS43131 Max Power (BAL) 560mW @ 32Ω (Desktop Mode) 550mW @ 32Ω (Desktop Mode) Max Power (SE) 180mW @ 32Ω 170mW @ 32Ω Display 0.96" Color IPS (Retro Tape UI) No Display (Ambient RGB Light only) Max Decoding 768kHz / 32-bit & DSD256 384kHz / 32-bit & DSD256 Lossless EQ 10-band Global PEQ (On-board) No On-board EQ Power Efficiency Intelligent Monitoring (Saves Phone Battery) Standard Power Consumption In-line Mic Supported (3.5mm CTIA) Not Supported App Control FiiO Control & Web Interface FiiO Control App Weight 21g 19g Why should I choose KA13 or KA15? Choose the KA15 if: You want to customize your sound using Parametric EQ (PEQ) that stays saved on the device. You are worried about your phone's battery—the KA15 uses an intelligent chip that consumes significantly less power when music is paused. You love the "Retro" look and want a screen to see your exact volume level and sample rate. You really prioritize audio quality and want to get the best out of your high end IEM's. Choose the KA13 if: You want the maximum power-to-price ratio. It delivers nearly the same raw wattage as the KA15 for a lower price. You prefer a simpler "plug-and-play" device without a screen or menus. You already have an external EQ app (like Wavelet or UAPP) and don't need the hardware-level EQ.
