R9
FiiO’s R9 sits at the premium end of the brand’s all-in-one streamer/DAC lineup, and it has a strong reputation for packing a lot of functionality into one desktop box. At US$1,649, this is well above the recent used market anchor of US$414, with the 75th percentile at US$494, so the asking price is clearly ambitious rather than a fair used buy.
That doesn’t make it a bad product — the appeal is the clean integration of Android streaming, serious DAC capability, and a full-featured touchscreen setup in one unit. For a buyer who specifically wants that convenience and interface, the upside is real, but at this price the listing only makes sense if it’s effectively near-new, comes complete with accessories, and the seller can document condition and provenance.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Fiio, founded in 2007 in Guangzhou, China, emerged as a specialist in portable audio gear, initially crafting components like speakers for brands such as Meizu before launching its own lineup. The name blends "Fi" from hi-fi fidelity with "iO" symbolizing digital one's and zeros, evoking authentic sound and modern convenience, while its Chinese rendering "飞傲" conveys innovative vitality. From modest beginnings, the company expanded into a 15,000-square-meter industrial complex by 2022, solidifying its role as a prolific developer of music-centric electronics.
The brand excels across a broad spectrum of portable and desktop audio categories, with flagship strengths in high-resolution digital audio players (DAPs), USB DACs, portable headphone amplifiers, and in-ear monitors. Its portfolio also encompasses cables, desktop amps, and select speakers, prioritizing versatile, high-performance solutions for on-the-go and home listening without venturing into turntables or large-scale hi-fi systems.
Fiio occupies a commanding mid-tier position in the global audiophile market, renowned for delivering premium sound quality at accessible prices that punch above their weight. Praised by enthusiasts for reliability and value, it appeals to discerning buyers seeking refined portable setups over luxury excess, backed by worldwide distribution and a track record of user-acclaimed innovations.
