FiiO X Jade Audio JA11 USB DAC and Headphone Amplifier Black
The FiiO X Jade Audio JA11 USB DAC and Headphone Amplifier Black is a tiny USB-C to 3.5 mm dongle DAC that replaces the missing headphone jack on modern phones and lifts the sound of any wired earphone or headphone. Weighing only about 5 grams, it hides a proper digital-to-analogue converter and amplifier in an aluminium-magnesium body, delivering at least 30 mW plus 30 mW into 32 ohms with a signal-to-noise ratio of 115 dB or better. The FiiO X Jade Audio JA11 USB DAC and Headphone Amplifier Black is therefore not a simple adapter: it is a genuine audio upgrade that fits on a keyring.
Why Choose This Product?
The FiiO X Jade Audio JA11 USB DAC and Headphone Amplifier Black is worth buying because it solves two problems at once. First, it gives USB-C phones, tablets and laptops a 3.5 mm output that sounds cleaner than most built-in jacks, with distortion below 0.004 percent and a noise floor of just 1.7 microvolts. Second, its built-in DSP works with the FiiO Control app on Android to offer custom parametric EQ, so you can tune the sound to your earphones instead of accepting a fixed tuning. Support for PCM up to 384 kHz at 32-bit and DSD via DoP128 means Hi-Res files play natively, and the in-line microphone and CTIA and OMTP controls keep calls and playback working.

Best Suited For
The FiiO X Jade Audio JA11 USB DAC and Headphone Amplifier Black suits anyone whose phone or laptop lost its headphone jack, plus listeners who want better sound from wired earphones without carrying a separate amplifier. It is ideal for students, commuters and office workers, and it pairs naturally with the FiiO JD10 or JD1 in-ear earphones.
Setup and Connection Guide
Plug the USB-C end of the JA11 into your phone, tablet or laptop, then plug your wired earphone or headphone into the 3.5 mm socket. Most devices recognise it immediately with no driver needed. On Android, install the FiiO Control app to adjust the built-in DSP parametric EQ to your taste, and use your earphone’s in-line controls for calls and playback. Keep the dongle in a pocket or case when travelling, since its small size makes it easy to misplace.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the FiiO X Jade Audio JA11 USB DAC and Headphone Amplifier Black work with iPhones?
It works with USB-C devices; older iPhones with a Lightning port need a separate Lightning to USB-C adapter, which is not included. Check your device connector before ordering.
Can I use the FiiO X Jade Audio JA11 USB DAC and Headphone Amplifier Black for calls?
Yes. It supports microphone input and CTIA and OMTP in-line controls, so earphones with a mic and remote keep working for calls and playback.
Does the FiiO X Jade Audio JA11 USB DAC and Headphone Amplifier Black need charging?
No. It draws power from the USB-C port of your phone, tablet or laptop, so there is no battery to charge and nothing to switch on.
