My video about K11. Great offer for this price
I suspected as much, I'm leaning towards the K11 too. Also I suspect if I got the K7, I'd have regret that they weren't the next gen, the K13I’ve owned the K7 and now own the K11. There’s not a lot in it. The K11 matches well with the HD600 in particular but doesn’t bring out the best with the HD660s2 connected. Compared to the K7 that is. The K11 seems more ‘neutral’ to my ears compared to the K7. The K7 ‘added’ some character and flavour in a way that the K11 doesn’t. But as I say I really enjoy the K11 with the HD600. Hard to describe really and I’m not doing a great job here!
If push comes to shove I’d opt for the K11 but it’s very close. I also prefer the form factor of the K11 and the USB C connection to my MacBook Pro.
K11 is smooth lots of power and bouncy. Able to drive just about anything as long as you arent looking for detail.How does it compare to the K7? I ask as I can get one for a very similar price to the K11.
I like all the new tech on the K11, just wondering if K7 will sound much better/different
(I currently have the old K3, which is still a great DAC, but its Christmas time, sooooo...)
Thanks
Really look like wonderful entry DAC amp, thank you for your review. Fiio rocks with new sources lately. I know you heard many fiio amps and dacs and have experience.
If you can save some money, I would strongly recommend the FiiO K9. Flagship performance made affordable.Really look like wonderful entry DAC amp, thank you for your review. Fiio rocks with new sources lately. I know you heard many fiio amps and dacs and have experience.
At the moment looking to get new amp dac as i want one piece device compared to my old and trusty topping D50/A50 stack. Not deciding which fiio amp to get looking to all variants. When i heard k9pro ess i really want something similar level sounding but price is a little too big for pro.
So looking at cheaper devices - fiio k11, k7, K9. How this small new k11 is compared to bigebrother. K7 i understand has warmer, more colored sound so this profile perhaps not for me. I like controlled, revealing and detailed sound sources. So is it worth paing x2 x3 time over m11 when my main headphone is xs now, perhaps nano later.
Thanks, straight to the point. I really agree - these two are dynamite duo - each at their price and above are leaders. So now will choose from these, not decided yet how much i want to spent. M11 with their price tag really tempting. Will see. Thank youIf you can save some money, I would strongly recommend the FiiO K9. Flagship performance made affordable.
Otherwise, the FiiO K11 is the best bang for the buck in the planet.
