Flagship Level DAC Hardware

FiiO R9 streaming DAC adopts 2x ESS 9038PRO DAC chips, which went through accumulation and refinement in the R&D process of the M17 and other high-end models, resulting in comprehensively improved audio indicators. Distortion in all frequencies, left and right channel balance, SNR and other parameters are the most excellent among all FIIO’s current products, and the sound performance is also the most clear, refined and complete.

Uber Powerful Custom THX Headphone Amp

Inside the FiiO R9 is the world’s first 8-channel THX AAA 788+ headphone amplifier design. These headphone amps, fed by a high-voltage power supply, are connected in parallel via 2×2 groups for a four-way fully balanced design, greatly enhancing transient performance.

The comb-shaped heat sinks and optimized circuit layout dissipate heat efficiently, ensuring the R9 is capable of continuous and stable high-power output. The result is that the R9 is capable of outputting 7300mW per channel at 32Ω, 102% higher than that of R7.

FiiO R9 streaming DAC adopts the high performance and low latency XMOS 16-core XU316, and supports 768kHz/32bit and DSD512. The Qualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth chip featured supports LDAC/aptX Adaptive/aptX LL/aptX HD/aptX/AAC/SBC for Bluetooth reception. The overall digital signal processing is fully hi-res.

FiiO R9 adopts an independent HDMI chipset that supports HDMI IN, HDMI output and HDMI ARC. The picture output supports up to 4K 60Hz for high-resolution audio and high-definition visual experience.

The introduction of HDMI extends the use of the R9 from the desktop to the living room, and we have thoughtfully equipped it with a variety of control modes, such as remote control via the standard Bluetooth remote RM3, same-screen operation of the cell phone or global control through the app, in-line control through the KB1 series of keypads, and FIIO LINK control via Bluetooth/WiFi.
