Still comfortable to stay in the pocket or backpack ?

I am not entirely sure this can fit in any normal pocket. Backpack yes no issues.

I definitely will getting C9 instead of new DAP, now I have to get A02 module for my N6ii.

that sounds like a good plan, but better and more robust DAP would improve the experiences for sure. The implementations of power rails, supplies, and conversions would hugely be effecting the line out performances. May be N8 ? Or other TOTL like SP2K, LP P6Pro...etc...

How about MAX line out? N6ii + C9 will be more transportable though.

Max is great but is going to be very heavy. You are looking at 1,500Gr of stack. The Dx300 is a better choice

Actually DX220 might be a good choice to pair with something like C9. It is light small and has a very good DAC implementation.

Yes and that it does. The dx300 still have a lot of newer technologies too though. Both are good choices for sure. I think A02 will be fine since it is dedicated to line out only.
May be the N9 is incoming

N9+C9, a $6000 combo

Maybe more, you can see people pairing P6Pro with C9 already. Ideally, an R2R discrete with Tube portable is some Ancient dirty desires .

Or, Sigma Delta IC conversions with tubes Buffers stages on the line out into the external Tubes Amplifications !!!

I did read somewhere in a Chinese blog that the R8 and C9 is a pretty good combo! So definetly looking forward to getting the C9!

Very much the same here ! I can not wait actually!

The ability to take Phone out from about any DAPs and then Pre-Line In before amplifications is awesome. The flexibility/applications is limitless

I also have the BX2 plus, which has a higher rater power output than C9, is there a way I can use C9 in the middle of the chain? Just checking if this is possible!

Oh nvm, that is Pre-Line in, not Pre-Out LOL. Don’t try it

Ah shucks! so close

Oh I'd love to see someone casually rocking a MAX + C9 combo in the subway
