FiiO FA9 Review

The FA9 is an impressive upgrade on the FA7, no doubt about that. It still has some legacy traits with that warmish sound but everything is now tighter, more extended or airier, and definitely more resolving. The low-end is big for a BA driver though I have to say, I still have a preference for their hybrid dynamic driver tuning from the FH7. 

The switching technology is some required value-add. It takes the question of whether or not the FA9 suits me or not to which sound I like the most. I have always said that options that create choice make for a more nuanced preference selection rather than a take or leave it scenario. There is power in choice and for me, the FA9 synergy potential is now much better than before. 

I am curious though if the switch can be applied to their hybrid range which would be something. I am also very aware that mathematics is infinite thus 9 can be 11 and 11 can be 13. The FA9 is not going to be the end game for FiiO by my reckoning. The improvements with the FA9, however, are excellent.
