I just recieved my Black Dragon 4.4mm cable and just upgraded to the new iPad Pro 12.9 with the M1 chipset. I will be testing it out this weekend. I think it’s going to be great for movie watching too.can’t wait to hear the difference with balanced output.

It is going to be a great weekend!

The only other thing I'll comment on as I also see from other posts you enjoy better ergonomics, that moving to a longer cable than the typical 4" or 6" length on the on the interconnect can allow you to position the source player comfortably without putting strain on the connectors, and really has no impact on sonics (shorter is better but staying around 12" is negligible for length from my own testing over the years)

Hope this information helps

Your exactly right. I got a longer cable to connect my iPhone and iPad to the mojo. So I can hold it or sit it there. Makes it so much more convenient.

A silly question,
I don't use DAP often, how can I enjoy C9 with my MacBook, connect to a DAC with 4.4 output?

I use my iPad to Chord Moji to my C9. I can do the same with my MacBook Pro.

I sold my c9 a few months back, but then ended up missing it a lot so have just bought another!

I've now got every module for the n6ii also. Lots of experiments coming up. I'm also keen to try the c9 wit my ibasso dx300max. Exciting

Hi, I tried that combo a while ago with my 3MAX SS through my C9. It offers a very slightly higher wall of sound but little else. I felt that the 3MAX was very capable on its own. Same with the Ti whereas in addition to the higher wall of sound the treble got a bit excitable. You can of course start playing about with Class A/AB and Tubes to warm the sound somewhat. Overall 3MAX is great on its own.

Thanks for letting me know. No matter I know it pairs great with my N6ii and wm1z. Anybody know how the final a8000 or acoustune iems do with the c9?

Definitely.... N6ii/A02 is the benchmark match for the C9. Although I did play my Fiio M11+ SS through it and that was brilliant! Different chips though so gave a completely different sound signature. Very precise sound and tight Bass.

Good move. I've had my since it came out and continue to love it, especially via N6ii/A02. I can't really think of anything that didn't sound fantastic on it.

Been listening to DT1990 Pro via TT2 & C9 this morning - another great sounding set-up.

Listening to mine right now Roxy Music For Your Pleasure, with the Thummim and sounds awesome. Brings the bass forward quite a bit and the NuTubes are adding to that nostalgic feeling I used to have in front of tower speakers cranked up. I have to take this in small 2 hour doses, what a great way to get the day started.

Glad for you coming back to the C9.

I feel so justified now for pulling the ad on my C9 within a few days of posting it. I would have suffered a bad case of seller's remorse.

Yeah, keep it. Basically makes all daps sound better

I notice when I charge it, it shouts from 2 lights to four. When in use it, after a few mins it drops from 4 lights to 2. Is this to do with battery conditioning?

I’ve wondered about getting a dt1990 pro with this set up. Did you change the foam to reduce the treble peaks?
