Fiio K7: Clean, Linear, Balanced

Описание

Apparently, 2023 is the year of great budget Dac/amp combos. Here’s another excellent offering in this department: The Fiio K7. This one is balanced and has THX-based amplification. If you’re looking for clean linear sound, I think this is probably where I would start (and end). After that, I’d just play with R2R and tubes.

Thanks to Apos Audio for providing this unit for review. Links to them below.
