Its fully balanced, all‑discrete architecture and High/Low Current + Gain options let you match the amp to your headphones instead of the other way around, unlocking deeper dynamics and blacker backgrounds from your favorite DAC and recordings.</p>
<hr />
<h2>Why Audiophiles Choose This Product</h2>
<ul>
<li>• Powerful, controlled sound: Up to 7 W per channel into 32 Ω from the balanced outputs gives planars the grip and dynamics they’re built for—without etch or glare. Many listeners report excellent authority even with notoriously tough models.</li>
<li>• Engineering that serves music: A fully balanced, quadruple‑amplifier circuit built from discrete parts, with independent L/R power supplies, keeps crosstalk and noise vanishingly low for effortless detail retrieval.</li>
<li>• Practical flexibility at your fingertips: Two gain settings and switchable High/Low Current modes tailor drive for both sensitive dynamics and hard‑to‑move planars; separate low‑ and high‑impedance 6.35 mm jacks expand matching options.</li>
<li>• Broad connectivity, zero guesswork: Balanced XLR and RCA inputs plus four headphone outputs (dual 3‑pin XLR, 4‑pin XLR, and two 6.35 mm) cover nearly any cable you own—no adapters required.</li>
<li>• Thoughtful parts selection: Premium ALPS 4‑channel potentiometer, Toshiba audio‑grade FETs, and a low‑resistance MOSFET output stage contribute to smooth control, low noise, and long‑term reliability.</li>
<li>• Output impedance options done right: The two single‑ended jacks are purpose‑tuned—Low ≈10 Ω and High ≈120 Ω—while the balanced outs are near‑zero, letting you shape synergy (e.g., classic Sennheiser/ZMF on 120 Ω, planars on balanced).</li>
<li>• Desktop‑friendly build: A dense, resonance‑controlled aluminum chassis with sandblasted finish looks clean in any setup while shielding circuits from interference.</li>
</ul>
<hr />

<h3>Take the reference listening room with you</h3>
<p>Imagine the dynamics and microdetail of a great desktop stack—now battery‑quiet, tunable, and sized to travel. Cayin’s C9ii marries dual KORG NuTube triodes with a fully discrete, fully symmetric amplifier to deliver studio‑grade drive for full‑size cans and a jet‑black noise floor for the most sensitive IEMs. With three timbres (Classic Tube, Modern Tube, Solid‑State), Class A/AB/Hyper operation, adjustable anode voltage, and switchable feedback, it’s the rare portable that lets you fine‑tune synergy instead of settling for “good enough.”</p>
<hr />
<h3>Why audiophiles choose the C9ii</h3>
<ul>
<li>• Sound quality: Triode sweetness when you want it, solid‑state precision when you don’t—backed by serious current delivery. Up to 4.1W balanced, with inaudible hiss on sensitive IEMs and authority for high‑impedance headphones.</li>
<li>• Engineering: Fully discrete, fully symmetric three‑stage amplifier (JFET differential input, BJT voltage and current stages), Gen5 dual NuTube 6P1 tube circuit, precision dual MUSES electronic volume controlled by a 4‑gang ALPS knob.</li>
<li>• Practicality: Tool‑free, quick‑release battery module with four user‑replaceable 18650 cells; USB‑C PD/QC fast charging; robust 6063‑T6 aluminum chassis with integrated heat‑sinks and graphite thermal pads.</li>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>FiiO K11 R2R DAC &amp; Headphone Amplifier</h2>
<h3>Bring analog soul and desktop muscle to your headphones</h3>
<p>If you crave the ease and clarity of a modern desktop DAC/amp but miss the texture and natural flow of classic hi‑fi, the FiiO K11 R2R is built for you. Its fully differential 24‑bit R2R ladder DAC delivers a richly organic presentation, while a robust headphone stage with balanced output brings authority and headroom to everything from sensitive IEMs to full‑size planars—all in a sleek, compact chassis that fits any desk. Dual NOS/OS modes, three gain levels, and intuitive one‑knob control let you tailor the experience to the music, your headphones, and your mood.</p>
<hr />
<h3>Why Audiophiles Choose This Product</h3>
<ul>
<li>• Sound quality, reimagined with R2R
<ul>
<li>The K11 R2R’s self‑developed, four‑channel fully differential 24‑bit R2R ladder—192 precision thin‑film resistors matched to 0.1%—prioritizes tone, timbre, and timing for a natural, engaging sound that feels alive. Switch between NOS for a purist, unfiltered character or OS for a cleaner, ultra‑refined presentation.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>• Engineering that matters
<ul>
<li>A carefully staged signal path routes USB/coax/optical through FPGA processing to the R2R DAC, then to low‑noise OPA1642 filtering and NJW1195A electronic volume control, with SGM8262 output buffers for power and poise. A multi‑rail power design with 17 low‑noise LDOs and custom Beryl solid capacitors keeps the background black.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>• Everyday usability without compromise
<ul>
<li>One multifunction knob handles power, menus, volume, and quick switching between headphone out (PO), variable pre‑out (PRE), and fixed line out (LO). A bright, durable front display shows gain, sample rate, and mode, while the top RGB logo can be set to indicate sample rate—or turned off entirely.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>• Versatile connectivity for any setup
<ul>
<li>Feed it via USB‑C, optical, or coaxial; drive headphones from 6.35 mm single‑ended or 4.4 mm balanced; run powered speakers from RCA line out; or pass digital via coax out (USB mode). USB supports up to 384 kHz/32‑bit PCM and DSD256; optical and coax support up to 96 kHz/24‑bit and 192 kHz/24‑bit respectively. Note: DSD is converted to PCM prior to ladder decoding, which aligns with the 24‑bit R2R architecture.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>• Distinctive value and identity
<ul>
<li>The K11 R2R is FiiO’s first desktop DAC/amp to integrate a four‑channel, fully differential 24‑bit R2R DAC—bringing classic ladder‑DAC character to a compact, modern, and highly usable desktop component. Available in multiple finishes to complement your space.</li>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>The <strong>T+A</strong> first headphone amplifier is a new and ground-breaking development
in which the analogue amplifier section, the converter section and also the
case mechanics operate to perfection. The analogue section of the<strong>HA 200</strong> is
based on the unique <strong>HV</strong> technology. Its high-performance output stages
operate in Class-A mode with a high idle current, and are effortlessly capable
of driving even the most difficult of headphones.</p>
]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Overview</h3>
<p>The impedance of the three headphone outputs can even be matched to the<br />
headphones in use and the individual sound ideas. A crossfeed function for<br />
creating a sound stage image positioned in front of the head is available on<br />
request. The high-quality mains sections &#8211; one digital, one analogue with two<br />
separate torroidal transformers- provide very generous reserves of power.</p>
<p>The digital section is fitted with the proprietary T+A True 1-Bit digital /<br />
analogue converter, which provides an incredible DSD 1024 for Bitstream, and<br />
the T+A quadruple converter with 32 Bit / 768 kHz for PCM. Like all current<br />
T+A DACs the new HA 200 also features a sophisticated and completely separate<br />
decoder architecture for DSD and PCM, ensuring that all digital formats are<br />
decoded to the finest standards.<br />
The design and materials of the case harmonise perfectly with the unique<br />
electronics. The HA 200 is significantly larger and heavier than other<br />
headphone amplifiers, but this is not surprising given the more than 2300<br />
components and the sophisticated HV technology. All the case components are<br />
produced from non-magnetic aluminium, and the front panel is machined from<br />
solid plate material &#8211; just like the HV series. Accurate QPPM metering<br />
instruments and a large screen supply important system information, and<br />
provide an accurate indication of operating conditions. The FM8 IR remote<br />
control controls all functions of the HA 200.<br />
We have designed the HA 200 in every respect with no hint of compromise and<br />
without regard to cost, for we had only one goal in mind: musical reproduction<br />
to the very highest standard of perfection.</p>
<h3>Design Philosophy</h3>
<p>We insist that our headphone amplifiers should be capable of optimum sound<br />
quality, and for this reason we are developing them in a focussed manner,<br />
matching either dynamic and magnetostatic or e</p>

<p><strong>TERATON ALPHA, The Essence of A &amp;K Audio Technologies</strong></p>
<p>Great headphone AMPs generate true and pure sound reproduction, when not only<br />
a stable output is achieved, but also each and every part from power, noise,<br />
signal transition, circuit structures, etc., are carefully designed and<br />
implemented. <strong>AK PA10</strong> is small enough to be portable but operates<br />
seamlessly with a wide variety of headphones and IEMs, and is enhanced with<br />
the addition of TERATON ALPHA technology which is an <strong>AK</strong> Ultimate Sound<br />
Solution allowing for playback of ultra-high quality sound without any<br />
distortion.</p>
<p>TERATON ALPHA, engineered through many years of endless research, is <strong>Astell<br />
&amp;Kern’s</strong> unique technology that has been designed to produce audio playback<br />
that is as close to the original sound through effective power noise removal,<br />
efficient power management and unwavering amplification, and a fully converted<br />
audio output interface. <strong>AK PA10</strong> was developed as the sound solution of<br />
TERATON ALPHA, creating pure and intensive analog sounds.</p>
<p><strong>Distortion-Free Analog Sound of Class-A AMP</strong></p>
<p>Class-A AMPs offer the best linear output, providing soft, warm, and natural<br />
sounds by amplifying signals without distortions or defect. This<br />
characteristic makes it the most sought-after amplification method by music<br />
lovers, though it is considered impossible for portable audio devices as it<br />
requires high p</p>
