Curious if anyone own both the Ref 9 or 8 and the 7 by this time? Would be curious how they differ in sound signature to eachother?

Not sure about ref 9. i guess its the most economical approach to diamond diferential amp which fulfil kingwa setup of total dimond system from dac to pre to power amp so musical you will be immersed with it. yes I have heard and compared the ref 7 and 8 and NFB 7.

No terribly different (I had the Ref-1 and have the Ref-8). Maybe a touch less air in the Ref-8 but the Ref-8 is a touch fuller sounding. Not much though. I love/d both. Much bigger difference was heard with the DSP upgrade to my ears. Both sound/ed immediate and real.
