The 9000N’s main control app provides access to fully integrated services such as Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify and TuneIn Radio.
Hi-res audio support handles PCM of up to 32-bit/768kHz and native DSD up to 22.5MHz (DSD512) whether it is streamed from Wi-Fi, Ethernet cable or USB. All audio connections are available including including FLAC, Apple Lossless (ALAC), WAV and AIFF, alongside native DSD in DSF and DIFF form, as well as DoP (DSD over PCM).
The back of the 9000N offers a array of connections such as a Wi-FI antenna and Ethernet port to handle network connectivity, while USB-B and USB-A ports permit asynchronous PC/Mac connection and USB storage input so, the 9000N can perform as a USB DAC as well as a network streamer.
A USB update port and 12V trigger connections are also supplied, alongside a WPS button for Wi-Fi set-up. Analogue outputs are provided in both single-ended RCA and balanced XLR form, with fixed and variable output options, the latter engages the 9000N’s volume control, performing preamp duties for direct connection to a power amplifier. S/PDIF digital outputs in coaxial and optical flavours enable the streamer to be connected to an external DAC if desired.
