    Ok, I bought an OTG C to C adapter for my phone (phone is Samsung S20FE at latest software) but the DAC function is not working. Adapter is this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07THMD9D6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 With this adapter, my phone can see and explore...

    Many thanks for your quick reply - I appreciate it. I’ll get one of the OTG C to C adapters and try it :)

    I’m happy with the sound quality of my M9 but I much prefer the speed of the interface on my Android phone. I know that the M9 can act as a DAC with a PC. Can I use the music player and Spotify on my Android phone and simply connect USB-c to USB-c to the M9 so I can use the DAC and amplifier...

    I have a problem with Spotify on my M9. My battery ran out (I don't normally let it) and, when I charged the M9, Spotify had logged me out. When I go to log back in, it tells me "You are currently set to offline" - please go online to connect to Spotify. My M9 is for sure on-line as TuneIn...

    Thanks TheStalker79 - I didn’t know about this site so this is really helpful. Just ordered one - seen the comment above regarding it being a mega tight fit once I’d pulled the trigger..... I’m not taking the card in and out (I load songs via the cable) so, whilst this tight a fit isn’t ideal...

    Does anyone know if it’s possible to buy the official leather case for these anywhere in the U.K.? https://www.fiio.com/productinfo/116596.html All the ones on eBay here seem to be PU leather as opposed to the real thing and don’t have the FIIO embossed logo on them. Very much in love with...

    Hey, my tin foil hat looks good on me :) Thanks for you reply. Once my Malware program has finished, I'll consider popping it over onto the M9

    I am concerned about 'where to download from safely' too. I have downloaded it, currently doing full virus and malware sweep.... But it'd be better for sure if either Spotify themselves hosted the apk or if FIIO ensured the one they have on their download section is updated..... After all, if...

    Just found this https://spotify.en.uptodown.com/android/download Which is a later version than the one in the FIIO downloads section. Worth a try :). I haven’t had the memory issue since I posted but then I haven’t turned the M9 off so, with th current version, I think that rebooting *might*...

    Thanks for the reply Bowei006 - I appreciate it :) 1. With the in-line buttons, I realise these are standard across such headphone designs but, as a button is simply sending an electrical signal down to the player which says ‘I pushed button #1, it’s a shame that software at the player end...

    They are out there - in the U.K., I bought my M9 from Advancedmp3players. I chose black but I’ve just checked and they’re showing silver as an in-stock option. The U.K. amazon site, like your one in the States, seems only to be showing black.

    I can’t comment on warm vs bright compared with other modern players as I’ve come from an old iPod classic. I can say it’s fine in a pocket as I went walking last night with this in a light jacket. The ‘skip’ buttons have a hair trigger on them but otherwise it does great in this regard.

    I’m having a problem with Spotify storage - I’m not sure if it’s something I’m doing wrong or a bug? I have a 200gb micro SD card installed and around 125gb is used up with FLAC files. In Spotify settings, I tell it to store my downloaded playlists to the card and it works fine...

    Thanks for this Sven - I deleted KKBOX and now have Spotify on my first page where I wanted it :)

    Just wanted to say thanks again for the replies earlier in this thread regarding Spotify working in offline mode. After being convinced that this player would be suitable for me, my wife kindly bought one for me as a Christmas present :) I am really happy with this - my only previous dap was...
