FiiO K9

"In the end
This could be the result of Fiio just getting better with what they are doing with these ESS chips. Due to the AKM factory burn, Fiio much like the rest of the industry had to move on to different DAC chips. Fiio adopted ESS chips as a natural replacement for the AKM chips they have been using. In doing so they have gotten very good at tuning the ESS chip, very good. I have noticed Fiio always advancing and getting better with each new iteration of a product and it could be just that they have managed to get the absolute best out of using the two ES9068AS in the K9. With the amplification, its clean power circuits, flagship build, connectivity and functionality all remain very similar to the K9 PRO ESS. The sound quality comes strikingly close."
