Could you try another amplifier to see where the problem lies?My turntable has a phono preamp included. It has the option of "phono" or "line" out. Line out is selected and should provide more power than "phono"

Sure it's a great experience!There are occasions where I'd like to listen to vinyl with headphones.....
Works fine with my other amp......Could you try another amplifier to see where the problem lies?
So I would try K9 with another line source to be sure who is the faulty oneWorks fine with my other amp......
Did you set the k9pro to high gain?So I would try K9 with another line source to be sure who is the faulty one
Hello, my first post here, and right off the bat about the K9 Pro which I recently got delivered to my place.
Using it as a BT receiver for my studio monitors connected via XLR and for my IEMs (Mangird Tea via 4.4mm currently) and HD600 via XLR.
In general, a pretty fine chunk of electronics, but before I get to the sound quality etc. I would like to highlight that... it zaps me when I touch it for the first time after a while. Some electrostatic discharge is happening on it's chassis and even the volume knob. Once I even saw a white spark of electricity between my finger and the chassis. I don't know if my hands are super dry or it is my wristwatch or it is my electrical installation since this is a pretty old apartment and the connectors have no insulation, but nevertheless something funky is happening today.

Line out is for when you want to bypass the inbuilt phono and use a higher quality phono amp therefore it's much lower power output.My turntable has a phono preamp included. It has the option of "phono" or "line" out. Line out is selected and should provide more power than "phono".
Have you tried selecting phono on your turntable when connecting to the K9?

@FiiO Willson. When will the interested public be able to get acquainted with the presentation of version 2 x DAC_ESS on this forum? Or will there be another information branch? A very useful forum!
I don’t have another line source. The turntable works fine with my other integrated amp, it’s obvious to me the K9 isn’t great in this regard but I’d like to hear from anyone else who’s tried the Line in.So I would try K9 with another line source to be sure who is the faulty one
Yes, it’s always on high gain to power my HEDDphones. Works fine with USB but not enough power/volume when using Line in…Did you set the k9pro to high gain?
My turntable‘s instructions state that the phono output is of less power than the Line out…..it was my understanding that “phono” is for connection to an external phone stage, but I’m relatively new at all this so happy to be correctedLine out is for when you want to bypass the inbuilt phono and use a higher quality phono amp therefore it's much lower power output.

You are correct; Peteio has it backwards. "Phono" is the weaker signal for bypassing the built-in preamp. "Line" means line-level audio from the built-in preamp.
Thanks for confirming that KaiFi, thought I was going mad!!You are correct; Peteio has it backwards. "Phono" is the weaker signal for bypassing the built-in preamp. "Line" means line-level audio from the built-in preamp.

It is not very good, K9 Pro is three plugs with grounding, i suggest you check whether your circuit has effective protection,Hello, my first post here, and right off the bat about the K9 Pro which I recently got delivered to my place.

Hello Friend,@FiiO Willson. When will the interested public be able to get acquainted with the presentation of version 2 x DAC_ESS on this forum? Or will there be another information branch? A very useful forum!
I think the ESS version should also be here.
I'm happy to tell you that the ES9038Pro*2 version should be available in China by the 20th of next month!

Apologies, I stand corrected!Thanks for confirming that KaiFi, thought I was going mad!!
Out of interest what turntable are you using?
So K9 Pro is safe to buy now? I know the click issue in this thread with One Red Light.
