Overview

FiiO's K13 is a compact R2R amplifier weighing about 0.7 pounds, aimed at desktop audio setups rather than full-size AV racks.

The R2R designation points to a resistor-ladder DAC architecture, a design used in several desktop amps for a different sonic signature than delta-sigma chips. Specs beyond weight were not provided for this listing, so confirm inputs and outputs on the product page before buying.
