    FiiO Hybrid IEMs Discussion & Impressions Thread

    I'm switching between the Sennheiser IE800 and the Shure 535 on my Fiio M11. The IE800 are my favourites but they're getting on a bit and the sound isn't what it was when new. I listen to a range of genres from Classical, Choral, Jazz, Indie and Alternative music to Rock, Pop, HipHop, Folk and...

    「MQA Checking in」FiiO Music App V3.1.0 Updates Now!

    I've no interest in MQA snake-oil. I only use my M11. I guess, therefore, there is no gain to signing in.

    Feature A New Chip! FiiO Portable HiFi Music Player M11 Plus Is Officially Released!

    Beware of any online store that hides its address, company reg details and has only a form to contact them. All these are required by UK law. I'll stick to the legit sites.

    Why do I need to sign into this version of the app? What advantage or difference does that make?

    [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

    On the X5 3rd gen, while use of third party players was possible, use of the DAC and chips to get the best sound wasn't possible. There was specific DLL files to use. From the posts above it would suggest this is no longer so. Can anyone confirm? Anyone from FiiO?

    Fiio have indicated the inability to add Google services is due to Google's restrictions on Android versions. Cannot upgrade Android on this machine to satisfy dependency requirements.

    [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

    Bought my X53rd gen from these people and have placed an order with their new code to take it to £395. That's cheaper than ordering from China at £355 and having 20% added for import duty/VAT when it arrives here in the UK (EU). I can cancel between now and May (or indeed so can they). If...

    [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

    There are very few 2 slot machines around. If I recall Fiio had to do some additional software changes with Android, to drive a second slot on the X5, something not seen by many third-party music apps I tried on my 3rd gen. For me, two slots are currently where I want to be, however, the 1TB...

    Fiio people. Three questions for you? Pure music mode? Impression above is this is not present. Why? I care little about other apps, just want a music player without android desktop. UK price and availabiliy? Havr you fixed the music player to provide 'album artist' as well as ''song...

    Fiio M11 - 2 x AK4493, 2 x Card Slots, 4.4mm, 2.5mm Balanced, 3.5mm SE, 720P Bezeless Screen, 3GB RAM 32GB Storage

    Don't forget the UK is throwing away 300 trade deals with the rest of the world as all that has been handled by the EU for half a century with our current partners, so I'm expecting prices around £499 once import duty and tax has been added. Any less I will be happy, any more In not going to be...

    FA7, the first Quad drivers IEM from FiiO , all Knowles BAs and 3D printed technical , MMCX design

    No sign of these in the UK yet. Would be good to see a review. I currently use the Shure 535 with LinumG2 SuperBAX cable, on my X5 3rd gen. Keen to understand the sound differences and how they compare. I haven't found any reviews from the usual websites yet.
