FiiO K3, Portable DAC and Amplifier: 384kHz/32bit DSD256 USB Type-C Lossless DAC/AMP (New K3 2021, K 3)
UPDATED 2021 VERSION with NEW DAC (No more old version finish production)
Boost your computer's sound
Equipped with an XMOS U30881C10 USB receiver chip, the K3 is capable of decoding up to 384kHz/32 bit PCM and native DSD256.
Modern USB Type-C input interface
The USB Type-C ensures a more reliable and stable connection. Moreover, the K3 implements overvoltage protection (OVP) and a double-filter circuit to ensure power supply stability.
Two modes of USB audio
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.
ADC volume control
The use of ADC volume control can not only eliminate channel volume imbalances, but also allows the user to smoothly adjust the volume to a more accurate and finer degree to boost headphones of all kinds of sensitivity for a variety of listening needs.
A tactile audiovisual experience
The volume knob, with 45° notches etched onto its surface and perfectly sized to allow easy one-finger operation. Next to the volume knob is an RGB light that indicates what kind of digital audio is being input to the K3.
Versatility from multiple interfaces
Different connection options for different scenarios: 3.5mm single-ended and 2.5mm balanced headphone jacks + 3.5mm line out + Coaxial and Optical digital outs
All-aluminum black body
The all-aluminum black body has been painstakingly CNC-machined, anodized, and sandblasted to ensure that the K3 feels robust yet perfectly textured for a great feel in your hands.

FAQ
1. What does the K3 indicator mean?
The K3 uses RGB indicator; the USB power plug in, the power switch turn on, and red or yellow may be displayed in the non-playback state; The current audio quality can be indicated only in the normal playback state: 1, blue ≤ 48khz sampling rate 2, yellow >48khz sampling rate 3, green DSD format
2. Can I connect the K3 with an i 0S or Android device?
The K3 is a USB power and data combo interface，designed for desktop computers or laptop. Mobile devices are not recommended.
3. Can the K3's coaxial and optical outpu work at the same time? And what sample rate are supported for the both outputs？
A:K3's coaxial and optical can output simultaneously with the headphone port, and is not subject to volume control. Coaxial can support up to 192k/24bit and DSD64 DOP output, while Optical can support up to 96k/24bit.
4. Why sometimes there is no sound when K3's coaxial and optical output is connected to the speaker?
A: When the PC player output device is set to "KS"or "ASIO", the sampling rate of K3's Coaxial and Optical output is followed by the tracks themselves. However, most speakers on the market with SPDIF input only support 48kHz sampling rate
