Two AKM AK4493SEQ DACs, one per channel, and the same THX AAA 788+ amplifiers used in the K9 Pro run in a truly balanced, six-stage circuit, delivering up to 2,000mW per channel from the 4.4mm balanced output. USB, optical, coaxial and RCA inputs, 6.35mm and 4.4mm headphone outputs and an RCA output for speakers or an external amp make it a complete desk hub, and the K7 BT version adds Qualcomm Bluetooth with LDAC and aptX Adaptive. It won a VGP 2024 Summer Life Style award.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/FIIOK7_1000x391_c08d7288-7272-45d3-b622-b89b4da50ad4.jpg?v=1767174664\" alt=\"FiiO K7 on a gaming desk next to a phone\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTruly balanced, from DAC to output\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe K7’s six-stage audio circuit keeps both the digital and analogue sections truly balanced, which reduces crosstalk (124dB on the balanced output) and lets you hear more of the purity of your music.

They deliver 2,000mW into 32Ω and 560mW into 300Ω from the 4.4mm balanced output (1,220mW into 32Ω from the 6.35mm), at under 1% distortion, so both low- and high-impedance headphones are driven with ease.
