FiiO K11 R2R — find the R2R NOS control under SAM. Use the stated exact hardware and connection scope.
Manufacturer-documented Reviewed 2026-11-09 · Revision 1
Follow these checks in Audio Fix →When this guide applies
Exact FiiO K11 R2R. You want NOS on K11 R2R but instructions for the original K11 refer to FILT. Quiet media is already working and you accept a reversible oversampling change.
Connection scope: USB audio · Optical digital audio. Symptom: An option or codec is missing.
This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.
If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.
Checks and possible outcomes
Start at scope. Follow the link that matches what you actually observe. Alternative branches are not a single sequence of actions.

Open SAM
Rotate to SAM and short-press to inspect it. R2R uses SAM, not the original K11 FILT menu.
Look for: Observe the named indication or available control; stop if absent.

Choose the intended oversampling mode
For a requested non-oversampling comparison select NOS and confirm. Note the previous setting so you can restore it; do not change output or gain.

Possible result
More information is required
An unknown state is not a diagnosis. Record the last visible indication and consult the exact model instructions.
insufficient data
Reaching this result does not mean the issue is solved. Only your own feedback can report improvement.
Possible result
Continue with source and model support
Keep the source, connection and last observation. Do not reset, open equipment or change full-scale output to compensate for an unconfirmed result.
next support
Reaching this result does not mean the issue is solved. Only your own feedback can report improvement.
