With beta the problem with MQA rendering seems to be solved except some clicks if a skip in a MQA file. But now I have no gain difference between mid and high gain. That issue is only in preamp mode

Are we talking about the beta driver or the beta firmware?

Beta driver, sorry

I cannot find the Beta firmware? where is it on Fiio's website?

So I was not able to test anything for a few days but today I was able to install the Beta Driver and play some music to test things out.

In DAC mode I am having no issues with volume fluctuation at all and it sounds great. Very detailed and a wider soundstage then the Cobalt that was being used. I am finding vocals seemed to be a little more forward on the cobalt. Could just be my ears playing tricks but I have only done some light testing so far.

The speakers sound find so I do not think I damaged the Paradigms with the sudden burst of full volume the other day with initial testing of the K9.

Does the low/ mid/ high gain have any effect in DAC or Pre Out mode? right now I have it in low and it sounds great.

I will get a chance later to play with the unit more and see if the Pre Out volume issues are gone (hopefully the beta driver fixed this). Jut thought I would share some quick observations because I had a chance to sneak in some testing during the day.

Interested. Considering there is a sales event in China by Fiio.

on my setup
gain low / mid / high - do nothing when connected via RCA to AMP. (DAC mode)
It works only for headphone output.

However there's an issue on gain level

Dac mode is obvious. You are at the maximum gain, max volume

This is what I mean.
It's ok, that gain works for headphones, not in DAC mode.

 

[Giangi]

In preamp mode, I have some gain issues (only preamp mode), not for headsets

I do not comment on the products of companies.
But I think you should see that our attitude to the product and the final power and output parameters of the product we made. Is different from others.
We think that the THX AAA 888 can be made to a higher level, we just don't have the right product to use it yet.

In the future, we should use THX AAA 888 on new products, but not on the K9 series

Thx for all answer!
Yesterday I got my K9 Pro. It's great!
