A consideration and a question:
- The on/off button on the rear I think it's a bad choice...
- It's possible enter from the analog rca input and out on the line out rca or the analog input it's only for the headphone output?

There's a power switch on the lower right hand side of the front panel. I think the power switch on the back puts the unit in stand-by.

 

[FiiO Willson]

When and will there be measurements (thd+n, snr, imd, frequency response divation, channel matching, crosstalk ect)?

Full information will be available when the product is launched in April.
Perhaps I will announce it earlier
But please trust in FiiO's ability, All products that have not disappointed over the years

Hi,
- Perhaps this is what is required by the safety regulations for linear power supplies?
- Yes, when Analog RCA input, then K9 Pro can RCA/XLR/6.35/4.4/XLR BAL OUT

EDIT：
Correction-------When Analog RCA input, then K9 Pro can RCA/XLR/ 6.35/4.4/XLR BAL OUT

Yes,The back is the switch for the linear power supply, while the front switch allows the product to be put on standby

Hi,
1,The SE output power should be greater than 1.5w, the balanced output power we are trying to debug, we hope to bring you better data.
2,Because of the shortage of AKM chips, there will only one in the K9Pro.

How heavy is this FiiO K9 unit?

 

[FiiO Willson]

How heavy is this FiiO K9 unit?

With packaging it should be more than 4kg, we don't have the final weight yet, but it's certainly heavy and textured

Ok.
One small query : will the RCA lineouts switch off/bypassed as soon as a headphone jack is plugged in ( unlike the k5 pro )?

Also 1.5 w single ended seems just like the k5 pro. It’s single ended out put is underwhelming for the Heddphone and I have to switch to high gain to get some oomph out of that headset via the k5 pro. Not a desired sound quality

So I am hoping I can get enough juice out of the balanced outs of the k9 pro for my heddohone/hd800s without having to go high Gain

 

[FiiO]

Dear friend,

Yes. If everything goes well, it will be released at about October.

Best regards

I think ESS can be nice and also burr brown 1795's.

What is the release date and projected pricing going to be?

Hi，
Unfortunately, the output settings are the same as those of the K5 Pro, as long as the device is plugged in at the same time there will be sound output at the same time.

The output power of 1.5w is only for the current commissioning and may be increased later.

Sales are expected to start in April and the market price should be between $500 and $700. I would like to remind you that price FiiO always has surprises.
