The FiiO SA1 is a high-fidelity active desktop speaker system designed for audio enthusiasts who demand rich, detailed sound in a compact setup. This pair of active bookshelf speakers delivers a balanced and powerful audio experience thanks to premium drivers and advanced engineering. With the SA1, audiophiles can enjoy reference-quality sound without large equipment – ideal for a desk or small listening room.
Each SA1 speaker features a 3.5-inch wood fiber woofer and a 3/4-inch aluminum-magnesium dome tweeter, driven by built-in Texas Instruments Class-D amplifiers (20 W + 5 W per channel). The result is clear, dynamic audio with punchy bass and refined treble – perfect for near-field listening at a workstation or in cozy spaces. The neutral, slightly warm tuning means music is reproduced faithfully while remaining pleasant for extended sessions.
The FiiO SA1 stands out with its extensive connectivity and smart features. It offers analog inputs (RCA line/Phono and 3.5mm AUX) for traditional sources and turntables, plus digital inputs (USB-C DAC up to 96 kHz/32-bit, optical and coaxial) and Bluetooth 5.4 with LDAC for wireless hi-res audio. A built-in phono stage enables direct turntable connection, and a subwoofer output allows expansion to a 2.1 system for deeper bass.
Sound can be tailored to preference via the integrated DSP. The SA1 provides a 31-band EQ and multiple sound presets through the FiiO Control app, so listeners can personalize the output. Its solid MDF cabinet with wood veneer reduces resonance, and the dual-knob design with RGB indicator plus the included remote control add convenience. With audiophile performance and versatile features, the FiiO SA1 is a valuable addition to any demanding music lover’s setup.
