experience to the next level
With the ES9038PRO having been featured
in the M17, Q7, K9 Pro SS and M155, we
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 & 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.
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 320, 102% higher than that of
R7.
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
lEMs or hard-to-drive headphones, you will get a great
listening experience.
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.
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, it is also
thoroughly refined so that the user does not have to worry about app
compatibility problems.
Built into the R9 is a new 40W low-noise, high-efficiency, long-lasting industrial-grade power supply, supporting an
ultra-wide range of input voltages (85~305VAC) and capable of operating under a wide range of temperatures
(-40°C-85°C) as well as rated for lasting 500,000 hours. The R9 can also be powered by an external DC power
supply*, allowing you to pair the R9 with a high-performance linear power supply that offers its own sound.
Additionally, when the R9 is paired with an external AC power supply, you can choose to enable the “Ground Lift”
functionality to reduce crosstalk for purer sound.
The R9 features separate power supplies for the digital and analog portions of the audio
circuit, avoiding crosstalk between the digital/analog parts and achieving better isolation and
shielding between the two portions.
The analog portion of the audio circuit features a finely-divided multiple-stage power supply,
including digital-to-analog conversion, LPF, pre-stage processing, amplification drive and
other power supply stages. Each power supply stage uses many precision LDOs for
secondary voltage stabilization, further ensuring a clean and stable supply of power.
Silver-plated oxygen-free copper wires are used to connect the various boards, ensuring high-fidelity signal transmission
with minimal loss
12 wide operating temperature low-loss metallized film capacitors + 70 high-precision
low-noise film resistors
Low temperature drift and low noise regardless of temperature variations, ensure stable high-quality sound no matter in
hot or cold environments
For improved soundstage and better overall sound quality
Tulip-shaped design with anti-oxidation properties and is durable over many unplugs – allowing for reliable and stable
connections
Many codecs supported, Bluetooth reception
supports LDAC/aptX Adaptive/aptX LL/aptX
HD/aptX/AAC/SBC
High performance, low latency, supports
768kHz/32bit and DSD512
The high-precision, low-jitter unified clock ensures a
purer and more stable audio signal chain.
Allows you to connect devices such as TVs and Blu-ray players, and then connect to the
FIlO SP3 and other similar sound equipment through the RCA or XLR outputs for high-
quality audio.
Connect to computers/game consoles/Blu-ray players and other devices through HDMI IN, and
connect to monitors and other similar devices through HDMI OUT for a high-resolution audio
and high-definition visual experience.
Connect to an external TV/monitor through HDMI OUT for a better remote-
control experience on a larger screen.

The R9 adopts a unique metallic dual color scheme inspired
luxury cars, presenting an extraordinary flagship texture. TI
body-colored 4H PET is attached to its body as a protective
layer that also helps to prevent fingerprints and scratches fri
building up on it. Additionally, the high-density metal body
more robust and stable, helping to effectively reduce
deformation and minimize degradation in sound performanc
caused by vibrations, thus ensuring stable delivery of high-
quality music.
