Update. I found this, where the R7 is compared to the Node X as well as the DMP-A6. Seems like a close wash on all three when used as a streaming source for a home system. However, the reviewer didn’t discuss where the FiiO would obviously standout: headphone use.

I’ve been keeping my headphone gear separate and removed from my home stereo setup. Partially because there are different use cases. Headphones on for work at my desk or chilling out where I don’t want to disturb anyone, 100% streaming. The fixed gear comes on when I want the whole house to...

I’ve been very, very happy with my Focal Bathy’s. Pre WFH, I was entering the portable listening space, due to an extreme amount of travel. I ran the gamit of IEMs and headphones but couldn’t really say I found anything I loved. The Bathy’s changed that recently. I do love these headphones...

M11 Plus with Rai Pentas. 2.5mm

Which means none of that product line are able to use modern apps. Such as those used by Focal and Naim and others so we can no longer use Fiio with their headphones or stream to/from other hardware.

They still have "Buy Now" on the Fiio website. The M11, M11 Pro, and M15 all have the same chipset, no?

I enjoy it quite a bit. But as the apps are no longer supported, I'm using it less. This may mean that part of the entire Fiio line is boned. Fiio claims the responsibility is on Samsung to update the chip to accept modern firmware. No was will Samsung invest in that - they've moved beyond...

pm'd

It's been 3 years since the M11/M15 had a firmware update. What gives? The OS will not support present day apps, yet the devices are still for sale new and on your website. Are these bricks out of the box, or will you support the existing users of the M11/M15 line?

Bump - Happy Thanksgiving

10 years of awesomeness for sale. If you're a fan of BurrBrown PCM1793, this just rocks. I've been so reluctant to sell this, but the time has come.

Shipping is covered in the US. Ex-US is on the buyer. I have too many IEMs, and no time to use them anymore thanks to a little one. Comes with extras including: A wide assortment of ear fit tips, Rai MMCX Balanced Silver Plated Cable, 2.5 mm Balanced, Original Silver 3.5mm cable, 6.5mm...

May I ask how much you purchased for? I have a NIB set that I was considering selling.

Keeping in mind that I am really new to portable listening, I want to say how thrilled I am with the FiiO M11. And thank you for all for the opinions and advice. To date, I've now owned a Fiio M9, A&K SR15, and a A&K SP1000M. All within a 6-month period and overlapping between some. I like...

I finally updated this past weekend. I'm not sure if I skipped the buggy update for a newer build, but everything is running smoothly. Internal DAC as well as optical into a Red Wine tube DAC. I have not and cannot try the Coax out.

Sorry, it was tongue in cheek sarcasm. The 3.5 was a total afterthought.

I've been very happy with this $8 one. USB C Headphone Adapter, Kolpop Type C to 3.5mm Audio Adapter USB C to 3.5mm DAC Hi-res Chipset 24bit/192kHz

Taken right from the in depth 4-page owners manual: FRONT PANEL HEADPHONE JACK:A 3.5mm headphone jack is located on the front of the NODE 2i :rolling_eyes:

I wouldn't say it's total cr@p, but that's only because I haven't heard total cr@p in a long time so I have nothing to compare it to. I have done an A-B comparison though. Using AKG K701s, I compared the 3.5mm on the Node to the Node piped in to a Burson HA-160D. The Node 3.5mm was MEH. The...

A quick update after a month of use. It turns out that the one "issue" I had with these have turned into the absolute best feature: the ported/vented design. My feeling was that it let in a bit of external noise. It does, and not only do I really appreciate that but the venting of pressure...
