Will the M17 be limited run or is this going to be available for awhile?

I've found that consistently asking about it eventually leads to its implementation :-) Every feature so far has been. Really can't complain. It may take awhile, but everything is here. System wide mseb, low oi, smaller form factor, LTE coming in a new device. Of course do your own part too...

Yes, but you don't understand how computers work and find this all to be very difficult and cumbersome. Some the most basic things about how pcs work seemed to not be known to you (the plugging the ap80 into a pc and seeing all the files on the ap80 was highly amusing as one of numerous...

If given this information, you're still happy with the user experience that's not bad at all. It's information. As you've intuitively noticed, if you're happy with the performance great! If you need more performance, you know what to advocate for. I will say this though. This product is...

It's not an opinion. These are facts, and you could look them up too. But I'll assist you. The current socs are as follows Exynos 7872 (14 nm) Snapdragon 425 (28 nm) Snapdragon 430 (28 nm) These old rockchip cpus that Ibasso and other companies use on the audiophile community because you...

I use it as my player. It does not do above 16 bit without resample. Because it already has its own audio engine, the dta bypass shouldn't work on it. This is direct from developer. I think I've asked twice as well as asking them to do up to 24bit, but they say there isn't enough interest. My...

It's not listen more and talk less. It's listen more and stop thinking just because someone slaps a big price tag on something, it's better than other devices. The Exynos processor alone on the fiio is light years ahead of everyone else currently. There's a serious belief in a lot of the...

Hidzis ap80 dap. Buy it and use it as an ldac transmitter for pc. So far it's the only lag free way to get wireless pc audio that I've seen. I'm between that, the hd58x, and a new TV.

I thought it could be easily sideloaded. Is that not the case? Thanks for taking the time to answer on this, I know I'm in the extremely small minority that uses mediamonkey, but I need to sync my Metadata (play counts) between desktop and mobile. I love my data.

Could someone let me know if mediamonkey app plays bit perfect and respects the os wide bit perfect implementation? Would be greatly appreciated. I didn't realize fiio also had this tech I've mistakenly said otherwise. I just want to confirm before I spend all my giftcards on this.

People care it's been mentioned.

I actually had searched and just found your post to quote, but well, guess back to square one? Any other way to check? I really want to use mediamonkey so I can use desktop and mobile and sync my experience.

Does anyone have any confirmation of this working? This is the first I'm hearing of this,. Last I asked I was told it was based on the app, not that fiio had removed the android src system wide like dta does. Can anyone confirm as that's the only reason I haven't considered this device...

The bold is spot on. I don't think people are aware, so I'm hoping to temper expectations as this is a great device, just don't expect top tier smartphone performance. On the cost front, the m11 is the same price as this with a vastly superior soc. So no, I don't think a better processor costs...

Yes you can optimize software. Relying on hardware is actually what Microsoft did. They didn't optimize windows to be super fast. They let Intel make dumb fast processors to brute force it, and ssds to fix access times. Do you even follow graphics processing? How much gpu power do we throw at...

People don't understand how much the mind can do crazy things. I'll give my example of how crazy I've gotten: For my home theater, I've been listening at times and will say "wow, this is so immersive and intimate!" and in literally listening to ONLY center channel and subwoofer. I've done some...

I think it's insane to think the Ibasso would sound different when they both use the same dac. Unless one amp has heavy distortion, if they're both good clean amps, feeding the exact same dac.... You'd have to actually screw up implementing,(which does happen) but if one of the two companies...

Lol...the knowledge of socs and how they work around here is extremely non existent. I get the feeling people seriously don't understand how underlying tech works on products they use. As I've explained in prior posts that you're welcome to read if you care, the m11 soc is far superior to this...

Well the es100 is quite a thing. It allows for eq over ldac which isn't normally possible. So how it's doing its work around... That's not really been done before. I think there are other system wide eq? I'm not well versed, I never really used eq much. Beyond a slight bass boost it's not a...

You were missing something if you thought the app would now work system wide. It's still the same app. That would be a whole other level. But the es100 essentially does this, so it is possible. @HiByMusic something to consider. @Joe Bloggs system wide eq under your apps. You could make it...

Just Google the socs? It will give you benches. Like I said, I prefer the hiby for the reasons you listed. But if someone just wants the stock player, I would be doing the world a disservice not sharing my knowledge of the SoC, and giving the nod to the m11. I get that you love audio, but you...

I looked at the picture in the new link. It says 4g.on the hiby r8 in this link. It's got 4g capability .. Wow. .. This is crazy.... .I can't believe they did it. You can clearly see 4g wireless connection in the top right of the .... Whatever you call this? Dap? Phone? Audiophile all in one...

Google translate of the link in the tweet for the r8 says 4th generation? Makes it sound like 4g just means it's the 4th "Gen" .i doubt it has 4g cellular as Joe said hiby wasn't looking into the phone market, but I'll be happy to Be wrong. If not 4th Gen, 4gb of ram for a new flagship makes...

Exactly why DX160 isn't in the running. That's truly it in my opinion for the Shanling. It's the wheel. According to specs, which you should never really trust, the hiby has a beefier amp section output wise. But distortion, quietness of signal, etc. We won't know so I'll roll the dice on the...

If you don't need open android, the m11 has the fastest soc and the best experience. But no play store. If you do need it, hiby r5 or Shanling m6. Unless you need more amp power, or need the features of android, no point in "upgrading ". It's all about what you need. Even if I bought the r6...
