Hey guys Just wanted to put little update of my new Fiio k9 AKM dac/amp with scarlet mini, fiio got solid burn in now so i can say something. Well i tought that scatlet cannot get any better then was on my previous fiio k7 + fiio pl50 power supply. Then magic happend :) out of the box fiio k9...

Same with cable and source :)

Absolutely YES , at least with fat freq scarlet mini. Sound changed betwen 15-30h of playing noticeably, i listen few tracks "out of the box" than i was using mostly as dac on my sub and speakers, then after 30~~ h i listen again on my iem-s. The dynamics and the bass is TOP for me, bass have a...

I had q3 before k9 akm and k7 it was nice but didint use that boost, still better parametriq eq on pc. because that swithc boost everything below 200-250 hz and makes sound muddy i only boost below 80

What is the point of EQ that much bass? xD insted of EQ i sold maestro mini and bought scarlet Still sometimes i add 2-3 db xD below 80 hz

I also think that u will like MM because i had them before scarlet Definitely more universal in my OP, still lot of bass comapre to other IEM-s.

I dont understand why u bought scarlet? In 7hz aurora review there is a con called "not for basshead" and u bought most bassy iem ever? xDDD

Bro seriously ? they sound totally different after playing some hours.

"How much subbass u need?" "Yes" :) This is ridiculous :floatsmile:

Holy crap check this on scarlet, drop hits harder than taxes in Poland xDD

@FiiO Ty :) After 50-100h of playing i will write my impressions about k9 akm :)

Try another classic bass test "dj billy e - beats 4 my van" :) for sure u know that :floatsmile: Well testing fiio k9 akm will take a while, a forgot most of dac need some run time to get full potential :) at least 50h ~~ .

Guys if i'm using my NAD stereo amplifier (pre/lo), better use LO output mode (volume knob on k9 not working) or PRE output mode (volume knob on k9 works) ? Testing time with scarlet mini :) how can i take off the bluetooth antena since i dont use it ?

Shall we begin testing? :)

Tomorrow Fiio K9 AKM will arrive ! well see if its worth 1.5x price of k7 + pl50 power supply. HYPE for scarlet !!! :) Currently torturing scarlet on titanium HD soundcard xDD

Guys i really don't recommend doing that .... I was forced to connect scarlet to headphone output from my NAD stereo amp because im still waiting for new DAC. This is unlistenable :floatsmile: help me xD

Delivery ETA ? Damn i wonder how it sounds :D As someone who had maestro mini and now scarlet mini :)

Happy release day !! :) enjoy on scarlet and other maestro's :L3000: Rest of the tracks on the channel Official premiere tomorrow
