Using a classic metal bicolour design as in luxury cars.
Thoroughly upgraded inside and out, to take your desktop HiFi experience to the next level.
8-channel ES9038PRO DAC x2
With the ES9038PRO having been featured in the M17, Q7, K9 Pro SS and M15S, FiiO now have much experience with the chip to enable it to push audio quality to new heights. The R9 employs two ES9038PRO DACs, one each for the left and right channels. Each DAC chip contains 8 independent D/A converters, and these 8 channels are connected in parallel for a fully differential output. The result is precise, clear yet full sound.
Next gen THX AAA 788+ headphone amplifier
Inside the R9 is an 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.
Fully connected HiFi audio architecture | Five gain levels
The R9 boasts impressive audio performance thanks to its five-stage audio architecture with carefully crafted IV, LPF, gain, pre-amplification, and current expansion stages. An important part of the audio circuit is the OPA2211 op-amps, which are made through the silicon-germanium (SiGe) CMOS manufacturing process that ensures the chip’s excellent performance. The variable gain and variable power supply voltage design result in 5 levels of gain, allowing you to exactly dial in your desired listening volume. No matter if you are using IEMs or hard-to-drive headphones, you will get a great listening experience.
Carefully designed PCB | Every inch considered
The R9’s internal power supply, digital portions, DAC, and headphone amplifier all reside on separate boards. Additionally, there are metal shields to fully isolate the DAC and THX headphone amp sections. These four major parts of the audio circuit are separated into independent boards to avoid crosstalk, which further ensures that the audio signals being processed, and their output are accurate, clean, and retain their dynamics.
Large 6-inch HD screen | Taking your experience to new “heights”
The R9 features a tall 6-inch 2160*1080 vertical (portrait) screen combined with the open Android OS for a thoroughly intuitive experience. The open Android OS not only allows the user to freely install and use third-party streaming music and other apps, but it is also thoroughly refined so that the user does not have to worry about app compatibility problems.
4th-gen phase-locked loop FPGA + dual low phase noise femtosecond crystal oscillators
The high-precision, low-jitter unified clock ensures a purer and more stable audio signal chain.
All kinds of connectors | Almighty HiFi audiovisual centre
The unimaginable, sheer number of inputs and outputs allow the R9 to become the new centre of your desktop HiFi setup.
Ten operating modes | Ten out of ten experience
Android, Pure Tone, USB DAC, Bluetooth Receiver, Airplay, Roon Ready, Coaxial/ Optical Input, HDMI Input, HDMI ARC
Four output modes | All within reach of one knob
Let the R9 become the centre of your HiFi desktop setup, connecting to both headphones and speakers simultaneously. You can seamlessly switch between headphones for speaker outputs with just a twist of a knob, making it more convenient for you to listen to whichever is more comfortable.
Classic metallic bicolour scheme as in luxury cars Befitting of a flagship
The R9 adopts a unique metallic dual colour scheme inspired by luxury cars, presenting an extraordinary flagship texture. The body-coloured 4H PET is attached to its body as a protective layer that also helps to prevent fingerprints and scratches from building up on it. Additionally, the high-density metal body is more robust and stable, helping to effectively reduce deformation and minimize degradation in sound performance caused by vibrations, thus ensuring stable delivery of high-quality music.
