https://www.fiio.com/newsinfo/591528.htmlIs it two 9038 Pro ? I thought it will be two Q2M.
Newly equipped with two more powerful ES9038PRO DAC chips, each DAC is configured in mono mode, 4 channels are connected in parallel, and the performance is better; the LDO power supply with high current and low noise of Ti is used to ensure good dynamics and distortion, and the power supply is more secure.
only with computer (win 7 and win 11). with android smartphone it works meanwhile (I had to switch the output to dac and back to hp, but computer doesn't see the k9 at all (win 11) or it sees it but has no driver (win 7). Firmware I have Beta B18. I had Beta 15 before but same behaviour.Are you able to connect and reproduce music usign BT and a smartphone? Or do you have this issue only using a computer?
Me too. Some on here got to own the AKM version very cheap.FiiO has also posted before that the ESS version will sell for $999.99. Wonder if that is still true?
I don't know about the D90SE, I'm talking against the AKM version.All marketing fluff.
K9 Pro has not been measured yet but given FiiO's track record and the measurements of the pre-production model I seriously doubt it will have objectively better performance than the Topping D90SE which is a single ES9038Pro DAC. Throwing in more DAC chips doesn't make it magically better.
"Lucky" you. I am unable to use BT both on smartphone and on PC. BT firmware version 1.1 and firmware 1.13.only with computer (win 7 and win 11). with android smartphone it works meanwhile (I had to switch the output to dac and back to hp, but computer doesn't see the k9 at all (win 11) or it sees it but has no driver (win 7).

CNY 4499 for AKMFiiO has also posted before that the ESS version will sell for $999.99. Wonder if that is still true?
It came short dispersion short delay by default for me.Question, does anyone remember what filter the K9 comes in by default? I don't remember, if anyone knows, I'd really appreciate it.
Pregunta alguno recuerda que filtro trae el k9 por defecto? yo no lo recuerdo, de antemano muchas gracias
The price for AK version was - 770usdI don't know about the D90SE, I'm talking against the AKM version.
This is one of their sheets and as you can see it seems, from their internal measurements, that the ESS version is (slightly) better.
It has one more filter, slightly more power output and better snr/distortion.
"Lucky" you. I am unable to use BT both on smartphone and on PC. BT firmware version 1.1 and firmware 1.13.
CNY 4499 for AKM
CNY 4999 for ESS
So maybe it's more likely to be 699 $/€ for AKM and 799 $/€ for ESS
