Description
The FiiO R9 is a groundbreaking flagship all-in-one digital media streamer that redefines audio excellence. Combining high-end features, it integrates an 8-channel ES9038PRO DAC and THX AAA 788+ amplifier, delivering an impressive power output of 7300mW. Designed with a fully-connected HiFi audio architecture, the R9 ensures that both analog and digital audio signals maintain their purity and clarity.
With a dual power supply design that separates analog and digital components, users can experience a stable and noise-free listening environment. The device also boasts a 6-inch FHD portrait display, making it visually appealing and user-friendly. Whether you're streaming music or connecting to high-definition video sources, the FiiO R9 excels in all aspects.
Superior Audio Performance with Dual DACs
At the heart of the FiiO R9 are two ES9038PRO DAC chips, each providing eight independent digital-to-analog converters for the left and right channels. This advanced setup allows for fully differential output, ensuring precise and rich sound reproduction. The use of high-quality DACs, as previously featured in other flagship models, guarantees that audio quality reaches new heights.
Complementing the DACs is the next-gen THX AAA 788+ headphone amplifier, which operates with enhanced transient performance due to its four-way fully balanced design. With this configuration, users can expect consistent, powerful sound at various impedance levels, making the R9 suitable for both IEMs and high-impedance headphones.
Comprehensive Audio Architecture
The R9 features a five-stage audio architecture that includes IV conversion, low-pass filtering (LPF), gain adjustments, pre-amplification, and current expansion stages. This intricate design allows users to enjoy a versatile listening experience tailored to their preferences.
The variable gain levels enable precise volume control, accommodating both sensitive in-ear monitors and more demanding headphones. The separation of digital and analog power supplies enhances audio clarity by reducing crosstalk and interference.
By employing precision low-dropout regulators (LDOs), the R9 ensures that each stage receives a clean and stable power supply, further optimizing audio performance.
Advanced Power Supply System
Powering the FiiO R9 is an innovative dual power supply system that includes both DC and AC options. The internal power supply is designed for high efficiency and low noise, operating within a wide voltage range to accommodate diverse environments. With a remarkable lifespan of up to 500,000 hours, the industrial-grade power supply supports reliable performance over time.
Additionally, the R9 can be paired with external power supplies, allowing for even greater flexibility in achieving the desired sound quality. The "Ground Lift" feature helps to reduce unwanted noise, ensuring that audio output remains pristine and clear.
User-Friendly Interface and Connectivity
The FiiO R9 is equipped with a large 6-inch HD portrait display, powered by an open Android OS, which allows users to install and utilize a variety of third-party streaming applications without compatibility issues. This smooth user experience is further enhanced by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor, ensuring low latency and high performance.
The device supports numerous input and output options, including HDMI ARC, USB, and Bluetooth, making it an all-encompassing solution for any audio setup. Whether you're connecting to game consoles, TVs, or using it as a Bluetooth receiver, the R9 adapts seamlessly to various media sources.
Aesthetics and Build Quality
The design of the FiiO R9 features a striking metallic dual-color scheme inspired by luxury automobiles, exuding sophistication and elegance. Its robust metal construction minimizes vibrations and enhances durability, contributing to the overall sound quality.
The inclusion of high-quality components, such as silver-plated oxygen-free copper wires and Neutrik gold-plated plugs, ensures reliable connections and high-fidelity signal transmission.
With thoughtful design elements like dynamic RGB lighting and customizable screensavers, the R9 not only performs excellently but also adds a stylish touch to any desktop setup. Its combination of form and function makes it an essential addition for audiophiles and casual listeners alike.
