FiiO - K9 (Standard Edition)

'a new standard in audio performance'The FiiO K9 features two ES9068AS DACs that handle the left and right channels to make up the high-quality "core" of the K9, so you can listen to your favourite playlist and be instantly immersed in the music. One of the FiiO K9's key features is the THX AAA 788+ amplifier, giving it an extraordinary 1% undistorted power output up to 780mW at 300Ω and up to 2000mW at 32Ω. No matter if you use low-impedance or high-impedance headphones, the K9 will drive it easily. From the DAC, to the volume adjustment, to the amplification, every part of the K9 is truly balanced for greatly reduced crosstalk and more authentic sound.

Maximum Performance

guaranteed integrityThe PCB of the K9 features a partitioned layout, fully separating the major sections of the audio circuit - the power supply, signals, and analogue signal loop. This guarantees the integrity of the audio signal being processed. The desktop-grade six-stage audio circuit was meticulously designed to offer a pure, delicate, and rich sound. I/V conversion, LPF filter, digital volume adjustment, buffer amplifier, pre-amplifier, post-stage drive.
The K9 uses the QCC5124 Bluetooth chip with support for LDAC/aptX HD/aptX Adaptive and other high-res Bluetooth formats. With the K9, you can listen to music, watch videos, and play video games with high quality and low latency.
The K9 supports both UAC1.0 and UAC2.0 modes, so you can use the K9 with either devices that are simply plug-and-play or with devices that can work with the K9 with an additional driver for even better compatibility. The FiiO Control App allows you to easily switch between UAC1.0 and UAC2.0 modes.
App Control

Professional PEQYou can connect the K9 to your phone via Bluetooth, and with the addition of the FiiO Control app you get access to even more functionality. Adjust various settings such as filters, status indicators, EQ, and channel balance to exactly your liking.
Using the FiiO Control app, you can quickly switch between 7 music tuning styles preset on the K9. If the selected tuning style fits the music you are listening to, you can acquire a more vivid and pleasant experience. If the preset tuning style is not to your liking, the 3 self-define PEQ (Parametric Equalizer) designs will help to fine adjust to your favuorite listening style.
