This is a strong deal at £26, sitting well below the £63 25th-percentile figure from six comparable sales and far under the £177 median. For a Lightning version in opened-box condition, that is bargain territory rather than merely a fair ask.
The KA11 is a particularly capable little dongle: its CS43131 DAC, clean 3.5mm output and substantial power—up to 200 mW per channel into 32 ohms—make it a sensible step up from basic phone adapters, with enough drive for many portable headphones. It supports high-resolution PCM and DSD256, while its tiny, lightweight form suits everyday phone use. Check that the Lightning plug works reliably and that the short integrated cable is undamaged, but at this price those are sensible checks, not reasons to walk away.

Fiio, founded in 2007 in Guangzhou, China, emerged as a specialist in portable audio gear, initially crafting components like speakers for brands such as Meizu before launching its own lineup. The name blends "Fi" from hi-fi fidelity with "iO" symbolizing digital one's and zeros, evoking authentic sound and modern convenience, while its Chinese rendering "飞傲" conveys innovative vitality. From modest beginnings, the company expanded into a 15,000-square-meter industrial complex by 2022, solidifying its role as a prolific developer of music-centric electronics.
The brand excels across a broad spectrum of portable and desktop audio categories, with flagship strengths in high-resolution digital audio players (DAPs), USB DACs, portable headphone amplifiers, and in-ear monitors. Its portfolio also encompasses cables, desktop amps, and select speakers, prioritizing versatile, high-performance solutions for on-the-go and home listening without venturing into turntables or large-scale hi-fi systems.
Fiio occupies a commanding mid-tier position in the global audiophile market, renowned for delivering premium sound quality at accessible prices that punch above their weight. Praised by enthusiasts for reliability and value, it appeals to discerning buyers seeking refined portable setups over luxury excess, backed by worldwide distribution and a track record of user-acclaimed innovations.
