High performance dual DACs for soul-shaking sound

The Fiio K9 features two ES9068AS DACs for left and right channels, and make up the high-quality "core" of the K9. Listen to your favorite playlist and be instantly immersed in the music - with support for up to 768kHz PCM and DSD512 sample rates.


Capable high-end amplifier

The FiiO K9's ace up its sleeve 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 with aplomb. At the same time, an impressively low noise floor, smooth digital volume control and 3 gain settings mean that even sensitive IEMs work well with the K9.


Portioned layout for max performance

The PCB of the K9 features a partitioned layout, fully separating the major sections of the audio circuit – the power supply, signals, and analog signal loop. This guarantees the integrity of the audio signal being processed.


Dual-mode clock management

Accurate and stable dual-mode clock management allows the K9 to easily play back high-resolution audio with the greatest fidelity, as if you were there with the performing artists.


High-Res Bluetooth Receiver

The K9 employs the QCC5124 Bluetooth chip with support for LDAC/aptX HD/aptX Adaptive and other high-res Bluetooth formats. With the K9, you can connect your phone or other music source via Bluetooth and listen to music, watch videos, and play video games with high quality and low latency.
