Review: I read about R2R DACs online and felt right away that this is a revolutionary breakthrough by FIIO and their engineers in delivering a DAC this good at this price point. Anything close to this DAC will cost about $ 1,000 or more. I know what a good DAC sounds like since I own two Denon DSD DACs. Wait, the balanced headphone out is an added bonus since its drives my Hifiman Sundara closed back headphones without even breaking a sweat. Wow ! I almost fell off my chair when I listened to the first song on this R2R DAC. It was Diana Krall's Temptation using my Hifiman Sundara closed back headphone bought right here on desertcart. Muddy Waters Album sounds amazing. I kid you not. This DAC is equipped with a 4.4 mm balanced headphone out which drives the Sundara Closed back without breaking a sweat using the balanced headphone output. Obviously you need a balanced 4.4mm cable of which I bought right here at desertcart at a reasonable price. First a few initial house keeping setup chores must be performed prior to using this DAC. I feel that its mandatory to have the initial setup correctly to enjoy this Treasure. Read the instruction manual first, its easy to understand. This is how I set up mine, Gain set to high. Output, switch Output PO: Front Panel headphone out with adjustable volume, SAM or sampling used is NOS, you can also select OS for oversampling for a different sound signature. The NOS gives you a Vinyl sounding unadulterated sound signature. UAC usb working mode for my Mac mini 2024 is UAC 2.0. I honestly don’t use Windows computers but I suspect that it should work fine for Windows. With my Denon DSD DAC I have two separate Headphone AMPs, A Preamp for connecting the two separate headphone AMPS and had to add an EQ to achieve the sound signature that I preferred. Imagine, with the FIIO R2R DAC you just need the DAC only and the biggest bonus is that it has balanced and unbalanced Headphone out both of which which drives the Hifiman headphones without breaking a sweat ! This R2R DAC by FIIO is a game changer. All you need is the DAC with ZERO addons and you are good to go. Don’t be fooled by an Audiophile, you can get Hifi at an unbelievable price in a DAC which punches way above it’s price point. All of this for an insane price of $ 200 Canadian Dollars. Mind you, for very high impedance headphones you will definitely need a separate headphone AMP. Most Audio Enthusiasts don’t usually use very high impedance headphone and this R2R DAC will meet the needs of ninety nine percent of Audio Enthusiasts. Now comes the sound. I am an Audio Enthusiast and prefer not to use the term Audiophile since there is no authorized designation or qualification to address oneself as an Audiophile. I use FLAC or High Res music with Audirvana Music Player and Hifiman Sundara, and a few other really good headphones. I am not loyal to any particular band, I choose headphones which correspond to my preferred sound signature. To my ears, this R2R DAC delivers a warm sound with PERFECT lows, mids and highs with a decent soundstage and excellent instrument separation in the NOS mode. The experience can be described as relaxing. Wait, you don’t have to purchase a Tube AMP. This amp sounds tube like in the NOS mode. If you prefer a different sound signature you can always choose the OS mode and it will still knock your socks off. This DAC is highly recommended and is definitely a Giant Killer. Get yours from desertcart. I am not in any way affiliated with any product mentioned here. This is my honest review and my personal opinion.
Review: I’m pretty sold on this. I’ve tried a few different DACs over the years and had a topping e30 before this one. Which itself is a very nice sounding dac, quite clinical but detailed with a good thump to the bass. I’m still not wholly convinced dacs sound hugely different to each other, that being said, you can quite easily hear a bad one. And this fiio isn’t that. I’ve got it paired with a musical fidelity a1 and Lintons so my whole system is pretty rolled off and “warm”; the fiio fits right in. I’ve been playing music for hours, and doing a lot more streaming than I’ve ever done before, I’ve not put a record on in a few days now. It’s smooth and has enough detail, but really, it’s just musical. I think a great sign of a decent system is when you just find yourself and others, tapping your feet, and I do this a lot when using the k11. I was curious to see if there were a difference between chip and resistor based dacs and I think there is. I don’t think it’s “night and day”, but I don’t see anyone saying they wouldn’t find this dac to be enjoyable. Not tried with headphones yet as have been using exclusively in line out with my 2 channel setup. But I’ll give it a go at some point. Right now, I’m just enjoying putting music on and sitting there with a glass of wine. Build quality is good, I like the knurled dial, feels solid. Only complaint I have is that I had issues pairing with the wiim pro as the fiio doesn’t seem to like playing at 192/24 with a coaxial cable. I tried few different ones and some were better than others, but all gave me brief dropouts. Playing at any other bitrate or using a toslink was trouble free, so that’s what I’m using. I don’t think it’s a fault of the k11 specifically, but perhaps something to do with r2r dacs in general.

## Features

- Fully-Differential 24-Bit R2R DAC Array - FiiO has featured its newly developed four-channel fully differential 24-bit R2R resistor array on the K11 R2R. It consists of 48 resistors per channel, a total of 192 high-precision ultra-thin film resistors with 0.1% accuracy and low-temperature drift between the four channels. It promises clean and crisp output with dark background thanks to the specially developed audio circuit architecture.
- NOS/OS Dual Operating Modes - FiiO K11 R2R has NOS(Non-Oversampling) and OS(Oversampling) dual operating modes. These are freely switchable and offer dual sound characteristics with the device. The NOS mode maintains the original sampling rate while signal processing while the OS mode oversamples all the signals to 384kHz for processing. NOS mode results in more musical presentation while the OS mode delivers more details and clarity.
- Powerful Amp Section - FiiO has equipped the K11 R2R with professionally designed amp circuitry. It consists of Ti OPA1642 as Low-Pass filters and then dual SGM8262 Professional-grade operational amplifiers. The K11 R2R has an output power rating of up to 1300mWx2, which is adequate enough to drive demanding headphones with ease. It has three-level gain modes for easy pairing with sensitive as well as high-power requiring gear. The K11 R2R also adopts NJW1195A precise digital volume chipset for precise volume adjustment with low distortion between the channels.

- True High-Resolution Audio Signal Processing - FiiO K11 R2R supports decoding for high-resolution audio signals. It has full support for PCM and DSD signal processing supporting up to 32-bit/384kHz PCM and DSD256 audio signals. DSD256 requires the DSD output mode to be set to native. It is internally converted into PCM for R2R signal processing.
- Professionally Designed Low-Noise Power Supply - FiiO K11 R2R features a professionally designed low-noise power supply. It consists of 17 Low-Noise LDO precision voltage regulator ICs and 2 DC-DCs providing a multi-channel power supply.

Un piccolo gioiellino che permette di avvicinarsi ai dac R2R NOS con un rapporto prezzo prestazioni elevatissimo. Suono molto analogico è stato già detto, senza dubbio non affaticante esattamente come i lettori cd d'alta gamma degli anni '90. Pienamente soddisfatto!
