• I returned the T9 Pro. I thought it'd calm down but I am very treble sensitive and it felt like my ear drums were being stabbed after a while .... Back to the drawing board.

  • Not with the other Class D's I've had. My Rogue's power circuit was Class D and the SMSL AD18 that I have returned to is also Class D. It was just really piercing and quite shrill. I can't listen to horns for more than five mins because they make my ears hurt. So maybe I'm just a weirdo.

    @psee - ha - glad to hear I'm not the only indecisive one. I saw someone on ASR write: 'Fosi Audio, Douk, Aiyima etc are all very good for the money, whereas SMSL, Loxie, Topping etc are just good period.' I would also like to try a DA-9, but to be honest, I will probably just save my cash for now. CXA61's have just had a huge price cut in the U.S. from the outrageous $1099 to $599, so I'll probably wait for those to come back into stock/wait for one to pop up on Cambridge Audio's refurb eBay site and snap that up. I ordered an AXR85 but cancelled my order due to yet more indecision.

  • Not if it's well implemented.
