Hi,
A little disappointed in the mixed reviews about the K19.
I do not own it, but I was giving it a thought...
I am really surprised with comments that says that it does nto sound super preicse and detailed.
I own the Shanling EH-3 that sports the same DAC chip.
And... my oh my... It can sqeeze every little drop of muscial juice from your files with a level of details unheard of so far.
Much much more details than what I got on a AKM 4499 powered device.
So I am a little puzzled about those comments
But I can imagine that some people will not like the sound of this device.
I also own the Fiio R7.
While it is super convenient to use, and offers features you can only dream of (and they are sunctional as an added bonus) the soud was clearly not a competitotr for said Shanling EH-3.
But I spent so much time trying to fix things with the EH-3 and spend so much time listnining to music with the R7 that I came to prefere the R7
Now, if Fiio adds streaming abilities to this K19 and that is the future S15 they announced for mid-september, then I'll definitely go for it as it will check all boxes of my desired list.
Regards.
