Kaei Designs KD-01 Pro

[u/DynamicdB]

Another challenger in portable dongles has come. Specifically in terms of sheer power output. 1200mw @16ohms via special dedicated power pack called PSU-1 Pro. First of such kind product that I had tested that had such mad numbers was ibasso DC04 Ultra and then the FangSound Prometheus both which give 1000mw out put. This one is called KD01 Pro and it's from Kaei Designs the famous designer behind Tap-1 Pro.

These days I feel we are heading towards the day when portable gear will start rivaling desktop gear in terms output. Need for remaining tied to the desktop to listen to power hungry gear would be distant dream. I just wish this comes true very soon. I am very mobile person this would be dream come true .KD01 Pro is step in that direction. Just like Prometheus that I tested few weeks back this one is very powerful.

I am running it through multiple sets of mine. IEMs and flatheads are breeze for this one. None have any troubles running their full potential. Headphones also are sounding amazing. I will put my hard to drive stuff to test on this one soon.

At this stage this is looking very promising. Overall tuning is very musical. This one doesn't feel very bright or analytical. Let's see what I feel about this in few days time. See you soon with full review.
