10. What is the hardware architecture, decoding capability, and output power of QX13?

The brand-new FIIO QX series is positioned above the KA series, prioritizing sound quality while focusing on high performance and multi-scenario usage.

The QX13, as the debut model of this series, integrates over ten years of FIIO’s DAC/AMP expertise. It combines the advantages of the Q series amplifiers with stackable/magnetic features to deliver a high-end, ecosystem-complete HiFi dongle.

The QX13 adopts a single ES9027SPRO DAC chip with XMOS 316, features a bilingual display (Chinese/English), and supports menu operation through physical buttons as well as controlling via the FIIO Control app. It also supports coaxial output and a 10-band PEQ.

Decoding capability: Supports up to 768kHz/32bit PCM, DSD512 native decoding, and Full MQA decoding
