About this deal

As expected from the proper implementation of the TOTL ESS DAC chips, using the K9 Pro ESS in DAC-only mode, outputting analog line-level to another amplifier shows no weakness. The DAC appears completely transparent, uncolored, and resolving, with no glare or harshness, sometimes attributed to ESS chipsets. FiiO strives to bring innovation, quality, and great service to affordable audio products and positions itself as “HiFi with style.” Technical Specifications The K9 Pro ESS sounds great. Full stop. The vertical position functions as a terrific headphone holder. Where to Buy The recent arrival of the HiFiMan HE6se v2, a notoriously difficult-to-drive pair of headphones (impedance: 50 Ohms, sensitivity: 83.5dB), proved the perfect test for the amplification power limits of the K9 Pro ESS. It’s unclear why FiiO decided to limit the decoding to 32-bit / 384 kHz PCM / DSD256 / MQA 8x, when the ES9038 PRO is reportedly capable of DSD 1024.

The ‘+’ version of the THX AAA-788 chipset appears unique to FiiO and is also used in the K9 Pro and M17 DAP. The K9 Pro ESS doesn’t seem to suffer from this weakness, likely attributable to the high-quality power supply and power distribution circuitry combined with the specially tailored THX amplifier chips. Whatever the case, FiiO seems to have discovered the magic with this DAC/amp combo.

The right side has five small white LED indicators for the selected input, an output switch (DAC, Pre, Headphone), a gain switch (high, medium, low), an input selector button, and a soft standby power button. This is an impressive array of inputs and outputs. By default, the K9 allows you to train two dogs on the same transmitter (however, this setting can be changed in Doggify to up to 4 dogs). You have 2 stimulation buttons for each dog, which gives you the possibility to work with two different frequencies for one dog if necessary. The transmitter automatically remembers the last stimulation level selected for each button. Flexibility means being able to choose a single device and having it work with anything and everything you pair with it – be that a variety of sources, connection methods, or headphones. The average consumer doesn’t want to perform mental gymnastics to calculate the proper pairing for the best performance between myriad DACs, amps, and cans. Output Power: 2.1W @16Ohms (SE), 281mW @300Ohms (SE), 2.1W @32Ohms (balanced), 1.1W @300Ohms (balanced)

Font Name : GillSans-Condensed, GillSans-BoldCondensed, GillSans, GillSans-Bold, GillSans-BoldItalic, GillSans-ExtraBold, MyriadPro-Regular Another well-thought-out – and unusual – feature is the USB-c port on the right-side panel near the front, intended for an OTG connection. K9 first appeared in the 1977 Doctor Who story The Invisible Enemy. K9 was created by Professor Marius in the year 5000. The Doctor and his companion Leela helped Professor Marius defeat an alien virus. After the virus was defeated the professor asked if the Doctor to keep K9 and look after him. After many adventures with the Doctor, K9 Mark I stayed behind on Gallifrey to look after Leela. I’m hard-pressed to say there is much to gain in amplifier or DAC performance beyond the K9 Pro ESS.This means that there is plenty of power for almost any pair of headphones, while the most highly efficient IEMs have no audible noise floor. These headphones require an unusual amount of amplifier grunt, and many owners swear that using speaker amplifier amps is the way to go for additional headroom. HiFiMan suggests a minimum of 2W of amplifier power output.
