Thought I share a revelation here: I been assuming the M6 won’t have to drive my 300Ohm HD600. Wrong! I plugged it in not expecting much and it sounds amazing. Bass full and punchy. And maybe it’s a battery powered portable and hence lower electrical noise I hear more details than my desktop set...

Thank u so much. It worked! Phew. Thought I had killed it there. :p

Need a little help here. Discovered my M6 has 2% batt left and the moment I plug into charger the screen went white and I could NOT shut it down or reboot. Any ideas? Asking here before turning to FIIO Support cuz they didn’t reply the last time I asked something.

New M6 user here too. Can anyone advise what setting should I use to send music via USB output to my Schiit DAC? I connect using a USB C to USB A adaptor but while the DAC registers something is hooked up no sound comes out, whether in LO or PO mode. Any tips?

Anyone else not able to use the M6 as a USB transport? Issues connecting Schiit DACs?

You mean USB connection from M6 to the Modi produces no sound? That’s the primary means I have in mind, via the DAP’s USB C out.

Anyone connecting their Schiit DAC to the M6? Thinking of buying it to replace my clunky MacBook Air. Any issues I might face?

Yet another vinylphile getting his mind blown. I think Schiit should get into analog big time. Make high end analog sound available to the masses. Just like they did with digital. Sure hit.

And oh, cymbals and hi-hats sound unbelievably real with the Mani. Even my yggy can't render them more realistically.

Mine came with both in Low and sounded awesome. Clearly I should leave them that way. But my amp volume can't get past 11 o'clock without waking up the neighbourhood. Interesting.

Same here. I actually love the Brio. It's got clarity, precision, depth, authority. Through the phono, things sound lean, strident and soundstage is clothesline flat. In goes the Mani, and everything changes. The whole soundstage opened up in all directions. Instruments is palpable, cleanly...

Got my Mani yesterday and I have this to say: those poor sounding records that I regretted buying? They weren't poor sounding. It's the phono input of my Rega Brio amp. It's like a toy compared to the Mani. And all this while I thought I made a smart move getting a Rega amp cuz these guys gotta...

Those of you with revealing DACs and looking for an amp to go between, do give the Airist Heron 5 a listen. I'm probably not the first to suggest it. It's a gorgeous pairing. All the details layered over a wide and deep soundstage. Notes with lots of body and weight. And just the right amount of...

Here's a little brass-y stuff for the weekend.

Lots of hype about this. And it sure lives up to it.

Thanks. Very interesting read. He sure has a strong opinion and not one to hold back. But this part I don't understand: "Digital equalizers SUCK. A to Ds in front, resolution loss in the middle, D to As on the ass end..." Unless we're talking vinyl players, there is no A to Ds. For an analog...

Thanks everyone. That's a well thought feature, maintains a smooth curve, yet not affecting other freq bands when pushing hard on a certain range. Won't have the control like I do with Roon's parametric EQ but that's a good thing with less to fiddle and tweak incessantly. Just wondering is...

Variable Q? How does that work? I must have missed that mention in the website or earlier post.

Not that unusual. Same thing happen to mine months back. Normal room temperature, Never crushed it or dropped it. Rubber insulation just split. Many others experienced the same before me. Disappointing for an otherwise perfect set of cans. Sennheiser replaced it but said they'll only do that once.

I'm getting great results from my yggy+Jot combo. Ignore all that talk about Jot being harsh. Listen for yourself and decide. Some actually prefer the Jot to the Rag. It's that good but do go balance. It's a league up.
