SwampyHere is a picture of the rear on Yulong's Website: http://www.yulongaudio.com/pd.jsp?id=29#_pp=106_674
I bought one of these a few months ago for $968 when they were on sale at Shenzhenaudio and love it. It is really underappreciated compared to their DA8 II (which I also own) and a lot of DAC/amp for the money.
The DA9 is incredibly solid in its build quality and just a really nice, clean sounding and musical amp to listen to. I keep flipping back and forth between my Chord Hugo TT and the DA9 as my all-day listening amp while I am working (mainly with EM-U Teaks but also sounds great on Fostex TH900s and Sennheiser HD650s). It is just so easy and non-fatiguing to listen to.
My only complaint is that the DSD256 USB DAC drivers were finicky to get installed on Window's 10. Yolong has several versions of the DA9 drivers up on their support site with very little info about the differences or which one you should be using. Also, for some reason serial numbers below 70 (which includes mine) require a different driver (this is only mentioned in a cryptic text file included in one of the driver downloads).
I am actually really surprised this amp has not gotten more love and reviews on Head-Fi and other sites.

johnvhI've heard spdif is a good way to avoid usb driver issues.

tumaruTrue, but SDPIF also has a lower maximum sample rate. I think 96kHz? Not a problem for 99.9% of people though.
