The TimeEar BTE-9 is a high-performance portable Bluetooth DAC and headphone amplifier engineered for audiophiles who demand uncompromising sound. Featuring the flagship Cirrus Logic CS43198 DAC paired with dual ESS9603 op-amps, it delivers pristine clarity, ultra-low distortion, and a wide soundstage that captures every detail of your music.
At its core, the Qualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth 5.1 chipset ensures rock-solid wireless streaming with support for all major hi-res codecs—LDAC, aptX-HD, aptX-LL, aptX, AAC, and SBC—giving you the freedom to enjoy studio-grade sound without cables.
Whether you're enjoying music, gaming, or making calls, the dual microphones with CVC 8.0 noise cancellation guarantee crystal-clear voice transmission. Add to that a 63-step digital volume control, independent high-gain mode, and both 3.5mm single-ended and 4.4mm balanced headphone outputs, and you get a portable powerhouse that adapts seamlessly to IEMs and high-impedance headphones alike.
The OLED display keeps you in control with real-time updates on codec type, volume, gain, and battery life. Speaking of battery, the 1000mAh cell powers up to 20 hours of playback (18.5h on LDAC) with an incredible 800 hours of standby time. Built from aviation-grade CNC aluminum with a premium glass panel, the BTE-9 is as durable as it is elegant—perfectly pocketable for everyday use.
More than just wireless, the TimeEar BTE-9 also supports USB audio and voice connectivity, making it versatile for PCs, tablets, and smartphones. With the included TEC-B1 ultra-thin elbow audio cable, you get a clean, tangle-free connection when wired listening is preferred.
For those who want flagship-grade sound in a truly portable design, the TimeEar BTE-9 Bluetooth DAC & Amp is an unbeatable choice.
Customer Reviews
Update to the latesf firmware for amazing peak perfomence..worth every penny ... 👌
Please read this before buying this product .
cons:
The sound quality is not upto mark (Higher Frequency) and even AudioCular D08/CX31993 has better quality.
I have noticed the Higher frequency is kind of supressed with this DAC.
The Mic is very bad and volume is supreme low.
You have to eat dac on your mouth to get mic work.
The type-c dac mode is not working with iphone.
Even in mac it has wrost quality experience. Without Dac Mac can drive IEM better.
The Bass is sometimes supress higher requency on this DAC.
pros:
It is compact full metal body.
Looking great in terms of design.
Power output is good enough for both standard 3.5 mm and balanced 4.4mm to drive iem earphone and headphones.
Not tested with all but tried with EDX pro and HD 560 s.
Battery backup is very good. You can easily get 10-12 hrs with LDAC/AAC codec.

Let customers speak for us
The Audiocular Spark Hi-Res portable DAC and amp is a compact, budget-friendly device powered by the flagship CX31993 DAC chip and MAX97220 amplifier, delivering studio-quality audio with clear vocals, rich bass, and detailed highs. It provides up to 63mW power output suitable for most IEMs and headphones, improving volume levels and sound clarity significantly over phone. Its solid build quality, portability, and seamless Type-C to 3.5mm compatibility, make it on-the-go music listening experience for me. Some minor background hiss may be audible with sensitive earphones, but overall it offers excellent value for a high-resolution audio upgrade at a very affordable price. This DAC+amp is very good option to be considered under 1,000 rupees, balancing sound quality, convenience, and durability effectively
Works like a charm!
It is good for the budget
In the budget category, these offers LDAC and planar magnetic drivers for truly clean, balanced sound and a unique design. It may have less extra features than other earbuds, but its core audio quality is far better than the usual bass-heavy options.
This is a really great product and the build quality is phenomenal. Thank you guys.
Good value for budget audiophile gear.🔥🔥🔥
smooth tuning, and elegant aesthetics. It excels in vocal clarity, offers a pleasingly balanced sound, and feels premium. ❤️🔥
its been 10 days and so far the dac is working fine and i hope it ll work for the long term. The package arrived in great condition and on time, the quality seems great given that it is audiocular.
It just adds a soul to your IEM's. Totally worth the purchase.
It's a best audio earphone I bought , immersive and clear vocal audio experience and using as a EDC for every journey
I order this IEM after watching too many videos on youtube. I was using apple's wired earphone before. so I was finding for IEM that can be my daily driver. For me these are natural sounding IEMs. I enjoyed them a lot. even lot of my colleagues have tried it. Got positive reviews from them also. The bass in this IEM is not overpowering treble and vocals. They are well tuned. if you want to change the tuning (want more bass) you can do it from tanchjim app(supported only for TYPE C). I have tried it there are so many other presets to. I have tried changing its tuning to simgot Supermix 4 so the bass vocal and treble get boosted. You can consider this as your first IEM.
Thanks to Audio Store I got my iem 3 days earlier and without any damage.
Very helpful in maintaining type C cable
Build quality is top notch. It's heavy but not uncomfortable. Coming to sound it has balanced sound signature with slight emphasis on treble.
Excellent studio quality clear natural audio with good enough bass, well-balanced thanks to the audio store team and Pritaam Halpawat sir, great customer service, and 100% authentic genuine products.
Great
