Optimized for excellence
Because premium sound requires premium components
Beneath the beautiful brushed-aluminum finish and OLED display lie carefully engineered components that revolutionize the way you listen. A high-precision clock generator works to improve digital-to-analog conversion accuracy, while a separate digital block ensures minimal noise from interference. Each component has its own dedicated circuit to optimize performance.
Sturdy build, smooth sound
Enjoy cleaner tone from a highly rigid chassis
The RSX-GS9 has the highest rigidity ever achieved in a receiver chassis. This minimizes internal and external vibrations, achieving ultra-low distortion even in harsh in-car environments.
Pure, undistorted audio
Separate chassis blocks for optimum performance
The dual-layer design of the chassis separates analog and digital circuitry, preventing noise for uncompromised sound quality.
Operation amp
High-end operation amp components are used in the RSX-GS9’s analog circuits for greater depth of sound and audio realism.
Premium Sony capacitors
Our specialized audio capacitors work to deliver high-fidelity sound with a bright, full-bodied tone.
Clock generator
The clock generator further refines digital-to-analog conversion for precise, stable sound.
