The Versatile and Fun Little Dongle Exploring New Musical Realms

Competition amongst audio dongles is becoming increasinaly intense, and we know that only "innovation" can make us stand out.

Thus, the KA15 has been completely revamped inside and out. It combines FIlO's experienced audio know-how on the inside with elements of retro tape recorder looks on the outside.

The new generation of FIlO's 5-series audio dongles inspires endless fun with avant-garde innovation and appeals to quality enthusiasts with a practical design. It brings together great sound, ergonomics, fun, and aesthetics, all into a single tiny and convenient package.

Limitless Enjoyment Be Your Own Music Tuner

The audiophile-grade DSP allows the KA15 to feature a ten-band high-precision lossless PEQ, which operates smoothly and with high quality thanks to FlO's self-developed advanced adjustment algorithms. Through the control app or the web interface*, not only can you simulate or correct the frequency response curve of headphones but you can also export, import, share, and save EQ curves. Whether you choose to use officially recommended tunings or choose to share your tunings online with other enthusiasts, you can easily enjoy setting up EQ the way you want it.

Intelligent Dynamic Power Consumption

Equipped with a high-performance, low-power processor and high-precision chips, the KA15 innovatively features real-time voltage and current monitoring for dynamic power adjustment. By recognizing the device's playback status, it intelligently adjusts the overall power consumption, allowing your phone to run using less power. When you set a timer for music playback during the night, once the timer ends the KA15 will enter an ultra-low power sleep mode - so you don't have to worry about your phone's battery being low when you wake up the next day.

Compellingly Fun an Outstanding Display

The KA15 is the first to use a 0.96-inch IPS true color LCD screen among similar dongles and supports both Chinese and English language display. The settings menus have been designed to be more intuitive and user-friendly. Additionally, the KA15 features a new retro dynamic Ul, combining technological innovation with classic design. With the simulating spinning tape, you can truly feel the uniqueness of the KA15.

Surge of Power Patented Desktop Mode

Activate Desktop Mode for greater power, with balanced output power of 560mW+560mW, an astonishing increase of 207% compared to the KA5. This gives the KA15 the headroom to drive both low and high impedance headphones.

Flagship Chips all Expertly Tuned

The golden combination of a high-performance USB chip, dual CS43198 flagship DACs + dual high-performance SGM8262 op-amps, allow for high performance in a tiny area, giving the minute KA15 dongle more sound quality than its small size would suggest.

Capable Decodel all Secrets Unveiled

The KA15 supports up to 768kHz/32bit and DSD256 sampling rates, easily handling various lossless audio formats to meet your demands for great sound. Additionally, it is Hi-Res Audio certified, a testament to its excellent ound quality.

Intelligent App Control Continuous Feature Upgrades

FIIO's capable software team made it possible for the KA15 to be fully controlled by the FIlO Control app*, including being able to adjust: PEQ, channel balance, UAC mode, volume, button mode, screen brightness, screen sleep time, theme, etc. More functionality is to be added through future firmware updates.

A Joy to use Ergonomically Designed

To better suit your preferences, you can choose which control modes to use: Dual modes for volume control, 60-step quick adjustment or 120-step fine adjustment. A/B button modes.

• Mode A: short press volume +/-, long press previous/next track;
• Mode B: short press previous/next track, long press to continuously adjust volume

In-line Controls Music and Calls at your Fingertips

Microphones are supported*, as a part of the 3.5mm jack that supports the CTIA standard of in-line controls-allowing you to not only use your microphone, but also to control music playback and volume.

Metal Construction Refreshingly Cool

The all-metal body is meticulously crafted after undergoing multiple processes including precision CNC milling, anodizing, and polishing. The result is a smooth and refined texture that fits comfortably in the hand. The all-metal construction also effectively reduces external interference, for purer and improved sound quality.

COAX Output Supported your own Digital Jukebox

The 3.5mm jack also acts as a SPDIF output, allowing you to connect to an external decoder for more ways to listen.

Wide Compatibility HiFi Without Restrictions

A detachable cable plus compatibility with Android/iOS/iPadOS/Windows/macOS means you can connect seamlessly to a wide range of devices, for a truly HiFi experience without restrictions.

UAC1.0 Mode Plug and Play

Select the UAC1.0 mode to connect to the Switch, PS5 and other devices for more immersive gaming.

With MagClip Enjoy Hi-Fi on the go with Greater Ease

When used with the magnetic bundling kit MagClip, it is locked securely without wobbling, allowing for a more comfortable portable Hi-Fi experience.

Beautifully Square and Round Chic Colors

Being both round and square, the KA15 in midnight black is timeless. While the KA15 in the same shade of sky blue as CP13 gives it a fresh and natural look.

The thoughtfully designed lanyard hole allows you to hook the KA15 to your favorite lanyard to prevent loss and add a touch of personal style. The KA15 is sure to perfectly complement your existing style.
