9i-92SA (Third Generation) DAC/headphone Amp/Pre Amp
Due to success of 9i-92SA "golden thrush" second and first generation the third generation was born, but it's DAC chip was changed from AK4497 to ESS9038Pro. As a general rule the performance of ESS DAC chip is highly analytical and dynamic but it's sound is a little hard, so there are many special adjustment have applied to the third Generation and got good effort. It already has many users and has very good comments. It has strong competitiveness.
9i-92SA III "Golden Thrush" DAC / headphone amplifier / preamplifier is a desktop hifi product for headphone user. A variety of advanced technologies and solutions such as USB isolation technology were integrated, such as ESS 9039Pro DAC chip work in eight channel parallel connection, etc. The audio quality especially headphone amplifier performance is excellent. It will get good effect in driving the mainstream headphones such as HD800S and T1-II.
"Golden Thrush" has many functions and performs well on the adaptability of the headphones. There are not only four types of output mode for adapting many kinds of headphones but also different output circuits for high and low impedance headphones. As a headphone hifi product, "Golden Thrush" is good at both performance and function.
The 9i-92SA "Golden Thrush" consists of the following parts:
