FIIO K19 DAC 2x ES9039MSPRO Headphone Amplifier 2x THX AAA-788+ Silver

FiiO unveils one of its most sophisticated devices with its K19. The K19 is an ultra-complete, high-performance DAC/headphone amplifier. It features two ES9039MSPRO DAC chips for balanced signal processing and support for high-resolution PCM 32bit 768kHz and DSD512 streams. Two THX AAA-788+ modules handle signal amplification, for maximum output power of up to 8000mW per channel at 32 ohms. A further advantage of the FiiO K19 is its comprehensive connectivity, with numerous digital inputs: USB-C, Toslink optical, SPDIF coaxial, but above all an HDMI port and an HDMI e-ARC port. Outputs include 2 digital outputs, Toslink optical and coaxial SPDIF, as well as various analog outputs: stereo balanced XLR line output, 2x stereo RCA line output, 6.35mm headphone output, 4.4mm balanced headphone output and balanced XLR headphone output. Two 3.5mm Trigger IN/Trigger OUT 12V jack ports complete the package, as does an RS232 interface on a USB-C port. Fiio has opted for an original, aesthetically pleasing case that can be positioned vertically or horizontally, and incorporates a small screen as a control interface.

FIIO K19: integrated DSP with 31-band EQ

The K19 incorporates an ADI SHARC+ ADSP-21565 DSP from Analog Devices Inc., giving users the benefit of a 31-band parametric equalizer. As a result, the K19's tuning control is extremely precise over a wide range of frequencies. This feature enables the user to adapt the sound to his preferences and the type of music he is listening to.
