KA1 portable decoding ear
, after KA3 not long ago, Feiao has released a new small tail equipment KA1. I have been using KA3 for a long time before, so I am somewhat curious about the sound of the new product-is it the "smaller one" version of KA3, or is it a new one?
KA1 is available in black and dark green. I have black. From the appearance point of view, KA1 is almost a KA3 "equal scale reduction version": Feiao & Feisheng double brand logo, magnesium aluminum alloy shell plus fine sandblasting process, groove cutting, small circle indicator light, these design languages are the same as KA3. In addition to becoming particularly small in size, there are two main differences between the two small tails: one is that KA1 adopts a non-interchangeable line design, and Type-C or Lightning versions are optional; The second is that only a 3.5mm single-ended port is placed in the earphone port, so the equipment used together will be limited.
It is not difficult to see from the model naming that KA1 is a device that is closer to the entry level than KA3. However, with KA3's slightly "bold" configuration, KA1's hardware is also very interesting: it adopts ES9281AC PRO chip, integrates decoding and earring, supports up to 32bit/384kHz PCM decoding, and has up to DoP128 and Native DSD256 native hardware solutions. At the same time, Feiao specially customized the Windows ASIO driver for KA1, which supports KA1 to connect to the Windows system computer and play in ASIO channel to support the computer to play Native DSD. In addition, KA1 also supports the final deployment of MQA rendering, supports PC and mobile mainstream operating systems, and has a wide range of uses and games.
KA1 has a hint of sound stain, good appeal, and the overall sound maintains good freshness. Its three-frequency energy is more distributed in the middle disk, and the two ends are relatively flat. The low frequency is not heavy, and the dive is not deep, but it maintains a certain degree of flexibility, so it does not appear weak. The high frequency maintains a good brightness, but the details have some marks of smearing. There is no particularly strong overtone performance in both high and low frequencies, so it doesn't sound much. In the middle frequency part, KA1 directly attracts the attention of the listener by increasing the density. Both the human voice and the musical instrument have a good thickness. The position of the human voice is relatively forward, but it is not licking the ears. The whole intermediate frequency sounds very grasping, close but not oppressive.
review the sound style of KA3: the overall trend is positive, suitable for performing pan-pop music. Obviously, KA1 does not completely follow the old path of KA3 in voice, but has its own opinions.
In terms of quality, KA1's performance in terms of analysis, dynamics and transients is fairly satisfactory, and no part has become its short board. The driving force is not particularly large, the effect of dealing with ordinary low resistance and high sensitivity earplugs is good, and the effect of dealing with some high resistance and hard to push plugs is slightly poor. In addition, KA1 has better bottom noise control, even with high-sensitivity earplugs, there is almost no audible bottom noise. Of course, the quality level of KA1 is not beyond the level of KA3, but it can also be said that "sparrow is small and has all five internal organs.
Although at different prices, KA1 continues the outstanding performance of KA3 in terms of sound price ratio. Considering factors such as price, power consumption, storage convenience and sound style, KA1 and KA3 are not exactly the same for the audience. If you are interested in burning friends, you may as well try the two equipment separately before choosing.
