A built-in RIAA phono preamp lets a turntable connect directly through the RCA input, and Bluetooth 5.4 with LDAC brings Hi-Res Audio Wireless to the desktop without a cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRound that out with 3.5mm, USB-C, coaxial, and optical inputs, 8GB of built-in storage with microSD card support, and a 31-band parametric EQ in the FiiO Control app, and the SA1 covers most of what a desktop listening setup needs from a single pair of speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSimcoe Audio Video Insight\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe built-in phono preamp is what sets the SA1 apart from most desktop speaker pairs we carry — it means a turntable without its own preamp (only a PHONO OUT connection) can run straight into the RCA input without a separate phono stage taking up desk space. If a turntable already has a built-in preamp, like FiiO's own TT13, switching the SA1's input to standard RCA instead of PHONO avoids double-amplifying the signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMore Info\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhy the FiiO SA1 Stands Out\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"box-shadow: 0px 0px 10px -4px;    margin-bottom: 10px;    border-radius: 10px;    padding: 7px;    border: 1px solid grey;\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eBuilt-In Phono Preamp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dedicated RIAA stage on the RCA input lets a turntable without its own preamp connect directly, without an extra box on the desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFive-Way Connectivity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eRCA, 3.5mm, USB-C, coaxial, and optical inputs cover a turntable, a computer, a TV, or a phone from the same pair of speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLDAC Hi-Res Bluetooth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eBluetooth 5.4 with LDAC is Hi-Res Audio Wireless certified, carrying more detail over a wireless connection than standard Bluetooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e31-Band Parametric EQ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe FiiO Control app allows lossless, high-precision tuning across 31 bands, useful for correcting bass buildup when the speakers sit close to a wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eDual DAC, Dual Amp Design\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo ES9068AS DAC chips, one per channel, pair with two Texas Instruments TPA3118 Class D amplifiers for a four-way power output of 20W+20W to the woofers and 5W+5W to the tweeters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eStandalone Playback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e8GB of built-in storage plus microSD card support means the SA1 can play music on its own, without a connected source.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBuyer's Guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Desktop Turntable Owner:\u003c\/strong\u003e wants to connect a record player directly without buying a separate phono preamp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Multi-Source Listener:\u003c\/strong\u003e wants RCA, digital, USB, and Bluetooth inputs on one compact speaker pair.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Detail-Oriented Listener:\u003c\/strong\u003e wants to fine-tune the sound with a 31-band parametric EQ rather than a basic bass\/treble dial.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow It Compares\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SA1 sits at the compact end of FiiO's active speaker lineup. Stepping up to the FiiO SP5 trades the built-in phono preamp for a larger 5.25-inch driver and an XLR balanced input, with more than triple the power output at 60W+20W per channel versus the SA1's 20W+5W — a better fit for bigger rooms, at a higher price and a larger footprint on the desk. For most desktop setups, the SA1's smaller size and built-in phono stage make it the easier fit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FiiO","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":48360177631453,"sku":"LM-NTJJ-IGSQ","price":299.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"White","offer_id":48360177664221,"sku":"LM-MSYN-VFOP","price":299.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0331\/1930\/5859\/files\/fiio-sa1-active-desktop-speakers-black.png?v=1787059080","url":"https:\/\/www.simcoeav.ca\/fr\/products\/fiio-sa1-active-desktop-speakers","provider":"Simcoe Audio Video","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
