Inside the R9 the new 40W low-noise PSU, DAC, and amplification sections are all on separate boards with metallic shielding, which further avoids crosstalk and enhances the performance. The different sections are connected with Silver-played OFC wires which promotes high-fidelity signal transmission. The USB decoding section has been upgraded with the 16-core, XMOS XU316 solution of the XCORE.AI series, featuring fast 2400 MIPS calculation speed and 1024KB RAM, and support handling DOP 256, DSD 512, and PCM 32BIT/768kHz. This will allow better clocking and jitter control by ensuring cleaner, more stable signal flow in the digital stream.
