After tariffs, for those of us in the US, they’re almost the same price, just FYI since there is a dealer shipping these in the US but miniDSP is shipping from China, especially once you add the DIRAC upgrade. That being said, it seems to be the only alternative in this price range, and the X9 stillhas other niceties like the luxurious design and the cool VU meters or spectrum analyzer.As noted above, the MiniDSP Flex balanced and Flex Digital both perform these functions and include Dirac for less money and the ADC clocks in at -107 instead of mid 80’s.
