Two ESS ES9039SPRO DACs and a six-stage fully differential circuit deliver up to 5,000mW per channel, a Qualcomm QCS6490 runs Android 13 with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage plus two microSD slots, and a 6.35mm socket, coaxial in and out and an optical output join the 3.5mm and 4.4mm outputs. Its 9,200mAh battery is user-replaceable, and you can choose a titanium or aluminium chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/fiio-m27-reference-class-compact-desktop-smart-hifi-player-photo-hero.jpg?v=1791333373\" alt=\"FiiO M27 music player in titanium and aluminium\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo ES9039SPRO flagship DACs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo eight-channel ESS ES9039SPRO DACs give extremely high dynamic range and ultra-low distortion for accurate, rich and clear detail.

It uses two NJU72315 electronic volume chips, two TI OPA2211 op-amps chosen for musicality, dual relays for lossless switching, 8 ELNA audio capacitors, 20 Rubycon film capacitors and more than 50 low-noise, low-drift film resistors. The digital and analogue sections have separate power supplies to minimise crosstalk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFive gains, up to 5,000mW\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive hardware gain levels raise the power and voltage at every setting, so the M27 suits any IEM or over-ear headphone. Balanced into 32Ω it gives 285mW (low), 730mW (medium), 1,850mW (high) and 2,250mW (super high); plug a fast charger into the dedicated power port and Ultra High Gain unlocks 5,000mW + 5,000mW (and a 44V peak-to-peak swing into 300Ω) for the most demanding passages. FiiO’s HYPER DRIVE amplifier circuit, with large power reserves, ultra-low-impedance paths, copper-block cooling and low-loss relays, makes it possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/fiio-m27-reference-class-compact-desktop-smart-hifi-player-photo-power.jpg?v=1791333383\" alt=\"FiiO M27: 5,000mW per channel\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDAPS: FPGA and RIVER femtosecond clocks\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sixth generation of FiiO’s Digital Audio Purification System pairs a new high-capacity FPGA with two RIVER femtosecond crystal oscillators, for very precise, ultra-low-jitter digital transmission and an exceptionally pure, clear sound.
