What are the differences between the AKM and ESS?

AKM4499 vs ESS9038PRO
Flagship chips, more detail in their websites.
+ One important difference. Only AKM version developed by FIIO yet, but not available for us. ESS version in the far future, no technical details yet.

@FiiO
I don't know if K9PRO will be available in Japan as Emilai, our Japanese distributor, has said that they will not reply to inquiries about future product lineups.
Can I buy K9PRO only in China?

As you read at my previous comment, yes, they (FIIO) told me: only in China.
They highlighted nowhere, and named not in USA as well.

@FiiO Willson Can you let us know which distributors will receive K9 Pros? Like Shenzenaudio, Apos, etc...?
Thanks

Hmmm.
If the K9Pro is sold by "SHENZHENAUDIO", you may be able to buy it via "Amazon".
I don't have the courage to buy from Chinese shopping sites, but I can buy from "Amazon SHENZHENAUDIO" with confidence.

@FiiO Willson
If it is difficult to sell the K9Pro through distributors around the world, I think it would be better to sell it through "SHENZHENAUDIO".
SHENZHENAUDIO has marketplace stores on Amazon and AliExpress, so it should be easy to purchase.

@FiiO Willson Off topic but any plans on a more powerful BTR5 ? A BTR7 ?

So, only chance to Get k9pro with AK4499 - to wait for it on SHENZHENAUDIO ?

For some reason,it is not yet ready to open the topic now,
However, FiiO has been constantly meeting everyone's requirements and bringing you some great products, hasn't it?

Glad it's in the works. I'm only asking because whenever summer time comes, my little BTR5 takes over everything and I just sit outside and listen. Can't bring the tubes out lol and BTR5 is imo the best solution for my needs although I am considering one of your DAPs

 

[Zachik]

Can't bring the tubes out lol

Actually, you can! (but not a FiiO product...)

 

[Deceneu808]

Actually, you can! (but not a FiiO product...)

I mean yeah I can but don't really feel like it lmao.

 

[Zachik]

I mean yeah I can but don't really feel like it lmao.

HIGHLY recommend the Cayin N3Pro for tube goodness AND portability!

I started to wait this product (aka K7) half year ago. I'm tired in waiting. I bought Topping DX7 Pro and I'm happy with it.
Maybe later I'll go back to FIIO.
