The Yulong DA9 combines a DAC, a powerful class A headphone amplifier, and a high-current preamp in one high-end, fully balanced unit. The DAC supports DoP64 and DoP128, and up to 384kHz/24bit PCM and native DSD256. The headphone amp has a single-ended and balanced headphone out, with the balanced amp delivering 3 watts at 32 ohms. Complete with a gold-plated front panel, the aluminum and steel housing provides excellent isolation to interference and vibration. Key components are hand-paired to ensure linearity, and the variety of connection options includes USB, Toslink, SPDIF, and AES/EBU inputs, along with RCA/XLR outputs.

Note: This product is only available in silver.
The Yulong DA9 features three different customizable sound modes. Mode 1 is balanced, while mode 2 is at once delicate and firm, making it a possible preference when listening to classical music. Meanwhile, mode 3 is laid-back with a stronger vocal presence, great for jazz and other vocal-heavy tracks. Working with these filter modes, users can get a new level of enjoyment from their favorite songs.
