Experience Excellence Of High-Res Music With Premium DAC Chip
FiiO has designed the K9 Pro with AKM’s flagship AK4499 DAC Chip. This 32-Bit Velvet Sound DAC chip provides excellent high-res audio signal decoding with the device bringing support for 32-Bit/768kHz and native DSD512 decoding. It enables K9 Pro to achieve ultra-low THD+N ratings of less than 0.0003% and high SNR ratings of ≥125dB ensuring clean, noise-free sound performance.
Powerful & Clean Signal Amplification With THX AAA Amplifier Technology
K9 Pro utilizes a premium THX AAA 788+ amplifier architecture that provides exemplary details and dynamics to the sound. It provides a powerful thrust with a max power rating of up to 46Vpp when driving high-impedance loads. It supports up to 2W of undistorted output rating with low-impedance loads. FiiO K9 Pro is a highly capable device that can power both low-impedance and high-impedance loads with ease.
Fully Balanced Design For Quality Performance
FiiO K9 Pro is a flagship-grade HiFi Audio DAC and Amplifier. It has a four-channel DAC, four-channel volume adjustment, and four-channel amp arranged for a truly balanced design. It ensures minimal interference in the signal ensuring quality output for the users.
Six-Stage Audio Circuitry
K9 Pro features a six-stage audio circuitry for true high-resolution performance. Whenever you play music with K9 Pro, the audio signal goes through I/V conversion, LPF Filter, Volume Control, Buffer Amplifier, Pre-AMP, and Output-Amp stages. The high-quality audio components on these circuits ensure you get ultra-low distortion and quality performance.
Dual Independent Femtosecond Clocks
FiiO has featured dual independent Femtosecond clocks to provide a precise clock management system. It makes it easier to handle different sources while maintaining maximum quality performance.
True MQA Support
MQA, Master Quality Authenticated is the latest technology where we get high-res performance in small file sizes. K9 supports full MQA unfolding allowing the users to listen to the true master quality performance as the artist intended while recording.
High-Resolution Bluetooth Support
FiiO K9 Pro features Qualcomm’s latest QC5124 Bluetooth processor chip. It not only provides a stable, reliable Bluetooth connection but also brings support for high-resolution wireless codecs including LDAC, APTX HD, AptX Adaptive, and more. You can feed high-res signals to the K9 Pro using Wireless Bluetooth connections.
Precise Volume Adjustment With Three Level Gain Switch
In order to use low-impedance high-sensitivity HPs and IEMs with the K9 Pro, FiiO has featured a precise ADC volume wheel. It effectively minimizes ant left-right channel volume imbalance and noise resulting in smooth volume adjustment at different levels. K9 Pro has three levels of signal gain, Low/Mid/High. The volume wheel also has a ring light that glows on different colors indicating the active file bitrate.
