Flagship ESS Sabre ES9069Q Dual DAC Chipset

The KA17 boasts the latest ESS ES9069Q dual DAC chipset, leveraging fourth-generation HyperStream modular technology for processing 32-bit audio data. This chipset enhances performance with lower power consumption and reduced digital noise, offering a dynamic range (DNR) of 130dB and THD+N up to 120dB. Designed with a low output resistance of 39ohms, it supports both hardware and TDM modes for versatile applications.

Featuring the All-New THX AAA 78+ Headphone Amplification

Incorporating the upgraded THX AAA 78+ headphone amp, the KA17 delivers pristine audio reproduction. This advanced amp design, in a 4-channel fully balanced configuration with eight op-amps, ensures powerful output and detailed sound accuracy. It provides clean, high-resolution audio for a superior listening experience with IEMs and headphones.

Equipped with Audiophile-Grade 16 Core XMOS XU316

The KA17 integrates a 16-core XMOS XU316 chipset, setting new standards for USB audio transmission. Supporting up to 768kHz/32bit, native DSD512 decoding, and MQA full decoding, it offers low latency and stable signal transmission. The XMOS XU316 chipset enhances compatibility and ensures optimal performance across various digital audio sources.

Ten-Level Highly Precise PEQ Adjustment

Enjoy customizable sound with the KA17’s ten-band PEQ adjustment capability, tailored to your preferred listening style. This feature allows precise control over frequency, gain, and bandwidth, optimizing your audio experience up to PCM 192kHz/24bit formats.

Multistage Audio Circuit

Engineered with a 4.4mm balanced output and a multistage audio circuit, the KA17 delivers high-fidelity audio reproduction akin to dedicated digital audio players. Separate digital and analog boards with shielding ensure minimal interference, maintaining signal integrity for accurate audio processing.

Furnished with a 3-Stage, 10-Rail Robust Power-Supply Circuit

Featuring a robust power supply in a compact design, the KA17 incorporates three-stage filtration, DC-DC conversion, and LDO voltage stabilization. Ten smaller power rails optimize performance, delivering resilient and high-quality sound output similar to desktop headphone amplifiers.

USB Type-C Port and SPDIF Output
