FiiO K9 Desktop DAC/Headphone Amplifier Review

"The FiiO K9 is basically just that and costs over 40% less at $500. This also now slots in nicely in FiiO's desktop DAC/amp line with the K3/K5 Pro ESS/K7/K7 BT/K9/K9 Pro ESS now having decent product segmentation. Clearly then the K9 must offer more than the $200 K7 does to justify this price and yet not take away enough from the K9 Pro ESS to render that redundant. This is even before we consider offerings from other brands, be it combo units or individual DACs and amps that can be stacked together. Using the ES9068AS DACs also brings in consideration from the excellent FiiO R7, although the power output is higher and overall sound from the K9 is better in my books. This uses the more expensive K9 Pro ESS as the base and takes away a few more features, including Type-C input and MQA rendering for those who care, but gives in return a cleaner looking product that is also easier to use via higher contrast text—a simple thing that results in a big improvement."
