Fosi Audio K7 Desktop DAC Headphone Amplifier with DAC Chip

The Fosi Audio K7 is one of those rare devices that manages to strike the perfect balance between Hi-Fi purity and gaming excitement, making it a versatile all-rounder for both music lovers and gamers. At its core, it’s built around the AKM AK4493SEQ DAC chip, which delivers ultra-high resolution, wide dynamic range, and impressively low distortion. With a high-power output capable of driving even demanding headphones, the K7 ensures that every detail is revealed, whether you’re relaxing with high-quality music or in the middle of a heated online match. Add to that an all-aluminium alloy body with CNC precision machining, and you’ve got a compact unit that looks as good as it sounds - solid, refined, and built to last.

For gamers, the K7 steps up as more than just a DAC and headphone amp - it’s a proper gaming companion. With support for PS5 Pro, PS5, Switch, PC, and more, it decodes audio with precision while adding features like sound localisation and effects adjustments to create a more immersive atmosphere. Explosions have weight, footsteps have direction, and the thrill of competition feels sharper than ever. The built-in microphone input with noise reduction also ensures that your voice comes through clearly to teammates, so you can focus on strategy and action without communication issues.

Wireless performance is another strong suit of the K7, thanks to its Qualcomm QCC3031 Bluetooth chip. With support for aptX HD, aptX LL, aptX, AAC, and SBC codecs, it covers all the bases for high-resolution, low-latency wireless listening. Latency drops to under 40 ms, making it virtually imperceptible for gaming or video, while music playback benefits from lossless PCM 24bit/48kHz sampling. Whether you’re tethered via USB-C or enjoying wireless freedom, the sound stays pure, detailed, and engaging.

On the output side, the K7 offers both 4.4mm balanced and 3.5mm single-ended headphone connections, delivering up to 2100mW at 32 Ohms (balanced) or 600mW (single-ended). With a Signal to Noise Ratio of ≥121dB and distortion levels as low as 0.0005%, you can expect a clean, powerful signal with incredible headroom. Inputs are equally comprehensive, including USB-C, Bluetooth, optical, coaxial, and 3.5mm, while outputs extend to RCA, ensuring seamless integration with a wide range of setups. Bass and treble adjustments, gain control, and bypass mode give you room to tailor the sound to your taste, whether you’re chasing warmth, precision, or sheer impact.

Finally, all this technology is wrapped up in a neat and portable package - measuring just 155 x 95 x 55 mm and weighing only 530 grams. A 1.5-inch LCD screen provides a clean, modern interface, while the fully balanced circuitry, multiple linear low dropout regulators, and headphone protection circuits ensure reliability and sonic integrity. It’s rare to find a device that can genuinely handle music listening, gaming, work, live streaming, and multimedia with equal authority, but the Fosi Audio K7 does just that. Compact yet mighty, it’s a DAC/amp that feels right at home on any desk, promising both Hi-Fi finesse and gaming thrills in one smart unit.
