Precondition:

a.Connecting the KA1 to the computer, and select the 'FiiO K series' as the default output device on your computer.

b.The FiiO USB DAC driver(Download link: Click here)should already be installed on Windows computer.

Here is the instruction about how to install the USB DAC driver: Click here

Then double click 'foobar2000_v1.6.10.exe' to install the foobar2000 app first.


2. You could find that there are also some application plug-ins in foobar2000 install pack. And the certain ones should beinstalled firstly.

② foo_out_asio

③ foo_input_sacd

④ foo_input_dsdiff


3. From File-Preferences-Components page in foobar2000, click Install and select all the components in the foobar2000 install pack, then click button OK to apply the change.

foobar2000_kl5CVoBTp7.png

Hola buenos días, tengo unos fiio ka3, el cual tengo configurado en Asio fiio ka3 usb utilizando foobar2000 en una notebook con usb c, y cuando intento reproducir archivos Dsd 512 me dice: 


Unrecoverable playback error: Sample rate of 1411200 Hz not supported by this device.


Mi consulta es que debo hacer para reproducirlos ya que el fiio ka3 soporta hasta Dsd 512, por lo demas suena increible y se reprocuen todos los formatos...


Agradeceria me respondan mi consulta.


Atte Victor, Argentina.


FIIO : 

Please use the 1.3.8 foobar 2000 following the steps in this post to check again.

Since the foobar version you are using is different, some setting may be different.


Best regards

Sir Please i tried same things on my ka3 in foobar2000 1.3.8 but it is not working , please made a separate solution article or something to figure the problem ... im unable to play dsd file i did every possible way which is available on internet and did this post method 5 times but result is always same [Unrecoverable playback error: Could not query sample rate]



FIIO : 

Dear friend,


Sorry to hear about that. Did you try the method mentioned above? And for Ka3, you would need to download the USB AUDIO DAC drvier first:

How can I listen MQA on foobar2000? (I'm using KA1)

FIIO : 

Dear friend,


I think foobar 2000 does not support MQA currently. You could try Tidal app if you would like to play MQA file in the computer.


Best regards

in fact MQA works in my BTR15 (even showing FLAC in Foobar, meaning that this requires a full MQA decoder)

Hola tube un problema con el fiio ka3 lo conecte a la notebook por usb c como de costumbre y cuando quise reproducir DSD en foobar 2000 1.6.10, el volumen del Fiio Ka3 en la barra de tareas de Windows 10 64 bits el volumen quedaba al 100% sin poder bajar el volumen lo cual rompio mis in ear Kz zsx quedaron totalmente inservibles lo conecte varias veces y el volumen era excesivo en DSD ya que no se puede controlar desde Foobar 2000 el volumen y es desde el controlador de Fiio ka3 desde Windows 10, los controladores estaban todos bien instalados con la luz verde encendida pero es la primera vez que me pasa varios meses lo use sin problemas, agradeceria su respuesta y ayuda...


No tengo la posibilidad de usar Fiio control por que no tengo un celular con usb c y mi Samsung A10S no reconoce el fiio ka3 con un cable otg, por eso no puedo tocar la configuracion.


Tal vez si hubiera una aplicacion para Pc lo podria configurar...

FIIO : 

Dear friend,


Sorry I failed to reproduce this problem. But I am using Win7. The volume in status could be adjusted still. 

This is my setting in foobar:

No baja el volumen del controlador del Fiio Ka3 Altavoces, queda al 100 todo el tiempo y me rompio los auriculares in ear, en la segunda foto se ve que no baja esta todo el tiempo al mismo volumen, y no tengo un dispositivo android para usar fiio control app.


Agradeceria que me digan como lo soluciono tengo Windows 10 64 bits, creo que no deberia suceder ya que compramos un dispositivo para que funcione, andaba bien varios meses sin problema pero derrepente dejo de funcionar el volumen cuando uso Dsd 128 bits, deberian solucionar el problema o hacer que funcione un software de control para Pc.

Solamente con los archivos flac puedo controlar el volumen con foobar2000, cuando la luz esta azul y amarillo, cuando esta en verde con Dsd solo con el volumen del controlador del Fiio Ka3 Audio, de la bandeja de Windows como en la foto que subi.

Hello. I'm using FiiO K7. DSD files are playing, the LED is green, everything is fine, but I have a question - why is the sampling different in Foobar2000 and in the FiiO Control Panel?


Kegra : 

All figured out. Reinstalled foobar2000 and did exactly the same as written in the instructions. Now instead of PCM, DSD mode works.NrzcYda.png

What driver to install to work correctly with w7 x64 for BTR7?  Version 4.47?  This driver does not work correctly.  The problem with the correct operation of the Asio driver in W7 x64.  Foobar2000 does not output Dsd sound stream dsd:Asio fiio..... on a w7 x64 system.  W7 x64 does not see Asio fiio driver support.  In w7 x32 dsd:Asio fiio works correctly.  How to fix the problem in w7 x64?

I installed the driver for the K5 Pro, and it is showing up as Fiio Q Series in Windows 10.

I am able to play a DSD file in Foobar and have sound but the LED remains blue. I have set up ASIO as per the instructions above. Any help?

Hi. I installed FiiO USB DAC for FiiO KA1 but the indicator still doesn't turn magenta when I play MQA files on Tidal. Is there any driver that I need to install?

Hi all. I have Windows 10 LTSC iot installed, build 19044.3803. Laptop asus fx503vd. The problem is the sound stuttering with the connection of the fiio ka13. Appears in all use cases, not just foobar2000. The problem manifests itself specifically on this laptop with the fiio drivers installed. There are no problems with the standard Microsoft driver, just as there are no problems on Android devices. DAC firmware version: 0.15.

This manual is outdated. Instead of foo_out_asio, use foo_out_asio+dsd

https://sourceforge.net/projects/sacddecoder/files/foo_out_asio%2Bdsd/

Yes, this Foobar pack could be outdated, but it works flawlessly in my DAC, with the newest versions I had to struggle to make DSD 256 work correctly
