FiiO K9 AKM vs SMSL DO400 (LOXJIE D60)

[wkvk]

Hi,

I'm trying to decide between the FiiO K9 AKM and the SMSL DO400 (or the LOXJIE D60, which seems to be basically the same thing as the DO400, with a different display).

The FiiO's has less power, and I've been hearing that the AKM's chips are a little bit smoother. The SMSL has a new ESS chip, which seems to be more precise, but maybe colder.

Has anyone tried them? Which one do you prefer?

Cheers

What did you decide on? I'm struggling with the same decision now but I'm also considering the Aune S9c Pro
