Fiio JA11 review: This $15 dongle DAC is too good to be true

Fiio's latest dongle DAC is an instant buy.

(Image credit: Harish Jonnalagadda / Android Central)Fiio usually bundles its products in a distinctive package, but the JA11 comes in a green plastic pouch, and you don't get any accessories along with it — that's understandable given what it costs. (Image credit: Harish Jonnalagadda / Android Central)That said, I didn't have any issues pairing the DAC with most IEMs; I tested it with the Sennheiser IE200, Fiio's FA7S and the all-new FD15, and 7Hz Legato, and it did an admirable job providing adequate power.
