Thank you!Blu up to 48khz, yellow up to 384khz, green dsd, purple mqa rendering
Purple, when Tidal rendering?
When I set Tidal to passthrough MQA, then blue now.
* working only when in exclusive mode
Is this, which FiiO will correct with new firmware?

Yeah, MQA needs to be decoded before it gets to the K9 Pro for it to work. It won't work if it's passed straight through.You have to deactivate passtrough, it's mqa rendering not full decoding

Hey quick question to all: inside the package there's a fuse, is it a spare one or before turning the K9 on you have to put it inside it? Kinda scared since i've yet to hook it up to the power, and i couldn't find anything on the instructions nor on the FiiO site if it's a spare or if it's something to do before using the K9!!!

If you selected the Pre option? This option defaults to the maximum sound output.The speakers I have can be set to max volume and controlled by the pre amp or by windows depending on how it is setup. They are a pain to adjust the volume with as the main volume control. Terrible remote control and hub design. Amazing sound though so work around make it better.
Paradigm Millennium 2 speaker set.
Another DAC option is to adjust the volume

Hello,However there's an issue on gain level
The gain function only works when the THX AAA is on work, and can only be felt when you select the 4.4mm, 6.35mm and XLR BAL outputs.
If you use other outputs such as XLR3*2 and RCA, they will not go through the gain control circuit, so you will not feel the effect.

HelloYeah, MQA needs to be decoded before it gets to the K9 Pro for it to work. It won't work if it's passed straight through.
About MQA, there is a software bug that we have solved so far, please wait for the official firmware update, if you need it urgently, please private message me or our official account, thanks!

@FiiO Willson can we have an official statement?
Is LOW gain a software thing and MID-HIGH hardware?

No, there is no gain setting on the XLR3 output.Sorry, in low gain it works if connected xlr3*2 and RCA! The issue is on mid and high, the gain is identical
You feel the different output when you switch the gain button, because the software has some bugs, we have found this problem, and will change it later!
You feel the low gain has a role, is the software to do the attenuation, which is not normal.
