I bought this little thing to use as a desktop amp for my Emotiva B1+ speakers that I am waiting to arrive. I couldn't resist trying it in my main system so I hooked it up to my JBL towers and connected my Allo streamer through the coax input and I was totally surprised by how well they sounded. Well defined and strong bass, airy treble and wide soundstage. The most surprising was the soundstage that was the same size as my Audiolab 8300A amplifier. The lacking was in the lower midrange and upper bass so it sounded hollow and muddy, especially with bad recordings of 70's and 80's rock'n'roll (still very well for the money). But then, the real surprise came when I actually fed it through RCA input with my ARES II DAC as a source. OMG, it sounds almost as good as my $2000 amp. It quickly deteriorates if I play it above 70dB but at medium power listening, it is almost too good to be true. A warm but well-defined and spacious sound that is very musical. It's a joy to listen to.
I had none of the problems that some people experienced with it, clicking is there but only when you turn it on, not important. Also, the remote works well for me, with no interference to other gear. We will see how reliable this little amp is but if you are going to use it as a pure amp you will be amazed and have a lot of fun.

Update: I paired T9 with iFi Audio DAC V2 and Emotiva B1+ speakers and completed my desktop setup. Sounds detailed, with a wide sound stage and smooth midrange, controlled bass. After spending a month with this little amp I can only tell that it is worth every dollar and more. I haven't had any of the known issues, everything works smoothly.
