[FiiO M11] Android 7.0, 2.5/3.5/4.4 Powerful Output, Exynos 7872, Dual AK4493 DAC chips, 3GB RAM, WiFi, Two-way LDAC
I found that it is pretty quick with the USB-C cable via a USB 3.x port. Unfortunately, file transfer speeds are often limited at the MicroSDXC end of things. ~Ex- Existence_Inc

Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless
With the sound profile set up through the app, I thought it sounded different than wired. Not sure if it sounded "better," just different. I wasn't really taken with it wired or wireless, so I ended up returning them. ~Ex- Existence_Inc

Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get used to the sound, as they say. I ended up sending them back. I didn't want to fuss with spending another $50+ on new pads in an attempt to improve the sound to my liking. Not a big deal, as there are lots of people who really like them, and other options for...- Existence_Inc

Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless
I received my Amiron Wireless headphones yesterday and I gave them a listen last night. They are very quiet and the sound seems thin. I used AAC from my iPhone Xs, AptX-HD from my Fiio M11, and a wired connection to both, and the sound wasn't that impressive at all. I found that I was listening...- Existence_Inc

Is the DAP dead?????
@CortoLmaltese I'll be following this with much interest. I don't have a Dragonfly, but I do use an HTC 10 and iPhone Xs for some listening, as well as my Pioneer 300R and a Fiio M11. I'm curious to see if your thoughts, in the end, match my own. ~Ex- Existence_Inc

Is the DAP dead?????
Also, LG doesn't have the marketing budget or brand recognition of Samsung or Apple. In addition, the LG V series wasn't necessarily marketed to the audiophile community, as it was touted as a multi-media device with excellent cameras, video capabilities, AND audio capabilities, but in terms of...- Existence_Inc

Is the DAP dead?????
Just to note, that is exactly what the iPhone is/was. An iPod Touch with phone capabilities. Now it may not be up to snuff with $1,000+ Mid-to-High End DAPs, but it clearly filled a niche in the market and became THE defacto standard in the industry. And back then, they were a small company...- Existence_Inc

Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless
My mistake. Reading some reviews, I saw Micro-USB mentioned a few times. Thanks for the info!- Existence_Inc

Not exactly, as the "Copper" version allegedly offers USB-C charging vs Micro USB charging of the original. A very useful update, IMO, and it encouraged me to take the plunge. ~Ex- Existence_Inc

Pioneer XDP-300R | Twin DAC ES9018K2M | Balanced Out | Android | MQA | 2x MicroSD | WiFi | AptX
There is a repair shop in HK (Romi Audio) that is discussed in the Onkyo DP-X1 thread that may be able to repair it (and upgrade it) as the players are nigh identical. Post back up and let us know what they say. ~Ex- Existence_Inc

Pioneer XDP-300R | Twin DAC ES9018K2M | Balanced Out | Android | MQA | 2x MicroSD | WiFi | AptX
No, my car doesn't allow me to control the player via the wheel, but I purchased this player specifically due to the physical buttons on the side. They all have a different feel so it is easy to navigate while never taking my eyes off of the road. If I had to look at the player to use it, I...- Existence_Inc

Pioneer XDP-300R | Twin DAC ES9018K2M | Balanced Out | Android | MQA | 2x MicroSD | WiFi | AptX
I have had no issues with my 300R connected to my PC. I have been using Drag-n-Drop without issue since I got the device in June. I do keep the device awake while transferring files, though. I had issues with older Android phones not keeping the connection open when the display turned off (Ca...- Existence_Inc

Pioneer XDP-300R | Twin DAC ES9018K2M | Balanced Out | Android | MQA | 2x MicroSD | WiFi | AptX
I regularly get 16-18h of listening time in a week between charges with my 300R. When I picked up the device, I did playback tests and managed ~18h of continual playback after disabling most of the background services on the device. Much less if the screen is on a lot. I don't stream, and I only...- Existence_Inc

I didn't notice a difference in sound quality, just volume when switching from 2.5mm to 3.5mm on the same IEM (Fiio F9). ~Ex- Existence_Inc
