It is not very good, K9 Pro is three plugs with grounding, i suggest you check whether your circuit has effective protection,
Well this involves a few factors, and it will take some time to find the root cause, but most probably it's the connectors in my walls, pretty ancient and no insulation, so even tough I use a surge protector the insulation does not properly run through the walls since there is none in the electrical installation in my current apartment. This kind of defeats the point.

#UPDATE

Electrostatic discharges were a one day hiccup. All good now.

Just demoed the K9 pro today and am now a proud owner of the product. Between the naturalistic decay, non boosted natural transients and endless abyss of correct non boosted micro details it was a love at first listen. Such a delicate soundscape seems pretty hard to come by these days. Honestly I was really surprised that this was using a AKM chipset and not a ESS chipset because of how uncoloured and natural sounding it is. Whats best about this DAC/AMP is the vocals and how it tickles all the correct head and neck muscles making you want to sing along.

@FiiO Willson will the ESS version keep the same pure sounding characteristics as the AKM version? I think like the K5pro this can potentially be a blind rec if the ESS version keeps everything good about the AKM version.

I tried the new firmware 1.15 beta version on my K9 pro. Sadly, the cliks issue is still here :frowning2:
The engineer haven't found the solution for this certain issue yet. But the problem would not appear in the ESS version. :sweat: We will update to you again when we have futher progress.

Best regards

Hi, I think different chips maybe have differences in sound.
The ESS version and AKM version, are done by the same engineers, so I think the overall performance should also be better :L3000:
