Engineered for ultimate listening pleasure
ESS digital-to-analogue converter
Experience the same calibre of sound usually reserved for high-end home audio products, thanks to the ESS DAC chip – an industry-leading converter that realises optimum quality for all of your digital music files.
Hear the difference with DSEE HX upscaling
Bring every track closer to the original recording
Our DSEE HX™ technology injects more life into your music, upscaling compressed files to near High-Resolution Audio quality. Restoring the subtleties of the original recording simulates the sound of a live performance.
Optimised for excellence
Because premium sound requires premium components
Beneath the beautiful brushed-aluminium finish and OLED display lie carefully engineered components that will revolutionise the way you listen. A high-precision clock generator works to improve digital-to-analogue conversion accuracy, while a separated digital block ensures minimal noise from interference. Each component has its own dedicated circuit to optimise performance.
Secure build, smooth sound
Enjoy cleaner tone from a highly rigid chassis
The RSX-GS9 has the highest rigidity ever realised in a receiver chassis. This minimises internal and external vibrations, achieving ultra-low distortion even in a harsh in-car environment.
Pure, undistorted audio
Separated chassis blocks for optimum performance
The dual-layer design of the chassis separates the analogue circuitry from the digital, preventing noise for uncompromised sound quality.
Operation amp
High-end operation amp components are used in the RSX-GS9’s analogue circuits for greater depth of sound and audio realism.
Premium Sony capacitors
Our specialised audio capacitors work to deliver high fidelity sound with a bright, full-bodied tone.
Clock generator
The clock generator further refines digital-to-analogue conversion for precise, stable sound.
