Hi @Hannez0101! Welcome to ASR.

The AO300 has Line in, so you can do FiiO K13 DAC->AO300 Amp.

Do u use RCA between the AO300 to Fio K13? From line out on the ao300 ti Fio k13 line in?

I’m a noob thank you for answering

Yes. Both the K11 and K13 are DACs and both have RCA Line out.

Yes. Both the K11 and K13 are DACs and both have RCA Line out.

Is there any difference sound wise between k11 r2r and K13?

I don't know.

Personally I wouldn't choose either.

R2R DACs are pointless and outright destructive to fidelity if you leave NOS mode on:
