So the LPGT 4.4 is true line out ?

Yes I believe so.

What charger do you have?

I’m a bit of a Torch collector so I have a few chargers. The Foxnovo F4s is pretty good.

I haven't posted very much since I received my C9 as I've been listening to it whenever I can and also working various shifts to pay back what I've spent over the last three months!
All I can say is WOW! I'm a happy Chappy! I listened with my N6ii with A02 through Sundara's and Orb's. Crikey it's good! But then I bought the UM Mest MK2 (thanks Bluestorm1992 for using your Jedi mind tricks on me!) and all hell broke loose! The total match of components now is so great I'm flabbergasted! It really is an awesome set up for almost all genre of music. I've never heard nor enjoyed listening so much and have even now listened to what goes on in the background that it immerses me so much that hours fly by before I know it. Thanks to everyone's input on all sections of Head-Fi I've been able to achieve my current destination. Cheers to all of you who posted and chimed in on my questions and posts! Happy listening to all!

The C9 (against DX300 Mk1 amp 11) improves the Fostex TH600.

There's far more control, a sense of effortlessness, and I quite like it (and generally would be pretty happy) - except that I must not A/B with Utopia else its shortcomings become too apparent.

This thing is probably pretty great if you have a big collection of quality gear (which you certainly have). I don't since I came to the hobby a year ago, but that's not a problem either Just don't try to do it all at once

You have a very good collection from being in the hobby only a year.

I guess I am way too crazy and have gone way too fast. I started last summer and looked at my signature...

Fortunately for me, I met everyone here at the C9 thread.

Please let us know how the Z1R sounds. I have 3 more days until I can hear this combo.

I received an N6ii and an A02 today. Plugged the combo into my C9. Just tried out a couple of tracks. It is better than the N8 balanced line out into the C9. Its actually a bit like an N8 on Steroids! Very similar sound signature but bigger, cleaner and just plain better. I will try to give a more serious review/impressions later this week when I have had more time with it. (iems I use are original A&K branded JHA Laylas).

The most fabulous set up... for me.... so far. The match of all components is awesome!

What music player are you using?

Man these are such great pairings. Trust me, what you are hearing out of the C9 + MEST pairing is well beyond some 3,4K IEMs driven from a standalone DAP. Enjoy!

IMO, Chinese products have been such innovations that even AK and Japan are left in the dusts.

Both of the newest brands products from Cayin and Shanling are crazily good , C9 and M30

Look at AK SE180 now!!!

Cayin N6ii with A02 Motherboard
