i find it is easier to use the slider: setting a max volume first on the setting, ie: 30 on mine then on volume touch panel: turn on auto lock, so now everytime i want to change the volume: double tap on the touch slider to activate the volume slider display slide the volume to your desired level

i think it will come, maybe along the android 12 update..

for one, the amp section alone will make a big difference. that's why DAP will always sound better than smartphone. also the same comparison with desktops, it will sound better than dap too for the same reason. although lately daps has been closer and closer to dekstop performance experience. i...

there's just no way to make the guy satisfied no matter how, so burn in or not, he said he's returning the m23(also a lot of other craps, in his own words, i gather he's very picky listener then) everybody's hearing is different, if the UA4 is better than m23, then who are we to convince...

thank you very much. that explains it, yes correct my charger only support qc3.0(no PD charging), fortunately the desktop mode still works though. the battery is not draining while using the m23 even though only QC3.0 is plugged in on the POWER IN port. all good.

For me, i do not find the m23 thin sounding at all. Its smooth detailed extended and with just right amount of warmth, very enjoyable listen. I hope you'll like yours when it arrives..

the u4s is really excellent, it's quite under the radar, tried it once and ordered it immediately and never regret volur is also one of the best from 64a, and one of the best in the iem world. it's addicting and hard to take it off once put on. one more song, to another, and time just past by...

just got my m23, updated the firmware straight away, and then have a first listen, the sound is really good! one wierd thing though about the desktop mode: with desktop mode switch 'on' 1. when connecting QC3.0 charger thru the orange power usb socket, the desktop mode notification appears...

lets guess the dac.. i'm gonna go with akm4499ex+4191eq

Maybe try something like the cb19 cable from ibasso?

Oh never tried on youtube, but on foobar with exclusive mode, before update, there was always a second of gap when starting music, so the music would start at 00.01 second, this happened too when skip/forward to next one. After the new update, the silence gap is gone.

<1ohm SE and <2ohm BAL, it's on the product page parameters: https://www.fiio.com/m23_parameters

i went for the awesome laser engraved s'well bottle huge thanks!! @64Audio

would like to know side by side comparison of the M23 vs Q15 too...

@64Audio may i give a suggestion? Can add fit/comfort to the list, because it is one of the most important factor for me in choosing an iem.

Mine was like that too, turned out i needed to unplug the usb and re plug it again, the ka17 will update and everything is well when its done.

new firmware installed smoothly. the pause/gap when starting music, is 99% gone or at least not noticeable anymore. namely on foobar2000 ka17 exclusive mode. good job Fiio!

For headphones i think Q15 would be better. I have both q15 and ka17, in my use case for iems, both perform well above their prices, and yet i think the q15 and ka17 sounds different. The q15 sounds lusher, warmer, and musical, its addicting to hear music thru it. While the ka17 sounds neutral...

my experience with the ru7>> more hours of usage = more sublime

i'd say go for it! with the typical discount for the M17 nowadays. it's a bargain for the specs and the quality of the thing. just as long as you don't plan to use it as a fully portable(it's a bit huge to carry around), as a desktop transportable unit, the m17 is really excellent for it's SRP...

waiting patiently for a sound impression of the dx260

mine on desktop mode(plugged in on DC), even on low gain has the high temperature warning if the DAP is not placed on the cooling stand. used aida64 to check the batt temperature and it is usually 41-43C with cooling fan/stand. while without the fan it can go up to 48-49C with battery...

fourte has better resolution, W sig sound, the vocal is more forward and clearer with very noticable higher degree of details, textures, etc.. the soundstage is bigger on fourte, but volur is quite close in this regard. volur has a mild U shape sound, and the bass on volur superb. it is that...

Fourte OG is my favourite too. I told myself the volur would be my last purchase, yet last night the u4s came in and it is immensily enjoyable. Guess there is no such thing as 'this is the last one' in this hobby. Loll
