I guess you're talking about high-sample rate like DSD512 or 712KHZ? Which in optical without upsampling software i couldn't get, so i'm stuck at 44/48khz if i'm not mistaken? With recent dac like Topping E30

The optical/coax in indeed have some limitations. With the E30 it is max 24bit/192kHz, while the USB in can do up to 32bit/768kHz and DSD512 native. Upsampling is a feature where a lower rate is increased by the DAC chip. Like so many things in audio, not everyone will see sense in such a feature.

I see lot of sense for me and some others who use only with optical/coaxial with a device that doesn't upsample (a lot of older devices) and that's a limitation because you can't get in those new dacs with lot of new ground-breaking tecnology even a simple upsampling like 24bit/96khz, but anyway..

K9PRO is the flagship all-in-one desktop, so the specifications and performance will follow the highest standards.
The price will be higher than 800 US dollars.

Thanks for the reply.
That sounds great.
Can I purchase K9PRO in Japan?
I'm looking forward to the K9PRO.

Launch worldwide at one go !!

Any updates on this ? Can we get a glimpse of output power ? I need to know if this thing can handle my 600 Ohm Beyers

Of course K9 Pro can handle your 600 Ohm Beyers

I do not promise.
Because of the AK4499 out of stock, Maybe K9 Pro Limited to 1000 units only.

I would like to have a lot of them, but it just doesn't work out the way I want it to

Wait, weren't you planning to use the ES9038PRO*2 for the K9PRO?

The 9038pro version of the K9 is not what we originally wanted to bring to the consumer.
But because of the AKM chip, we also had to make adjustments, which took some time.
The first one to come out is the AK4499 version.

I see.
I was surprised to learn that the AK4499 version will also be available.
I am now looking forward to the release of the K9 series even more.
I hope to get the K9PRO.
Thank you very much.

Hmmm but the 1k unit is a bit of a bummer. I am waiting to move my k5 pro to another setup.
Willing to wait till March but if there is no guarantee that it will be available in my region, then I might pull the plug on the d90+a90 combo.
