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...- markrich

[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?- markrich

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.- markrich

[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...- markrich

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...- markrich

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...- markrich

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...- markrich

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.- markrich

Why are you upset when the firmware update also included an updated music app above a previously released one? I don't understand your frustration. Fiio have stated the music player updates can be made separately from the firmware, not that they have to. Be happy Fiio did this for you. As for...- markrich

If you take your file name example, the date of release is there in the file name. 20170323. Or if you prefer, 23/3/17 (23rd March 2017). Easy. As for which update was released in May, go for the latest, 1.2.1, and work backwards. The website links will download the files you want.- markrich

@FiiO No obvious differences for me new firmware. Adding to favourites still shows Chinese characters though. Please fix in player update. Fewer app crashes or skipping mid song to next. Cleared all caches, will do factory reset later to test more. Looks the same, feels the same, and runs...- markrich

Your collection is similar to mine. I have 4TB in FLAC, ALAC and some earlier stuff from Apple days in AAC formats. I have two 200GB cards and have to be selective on the music transfer sadly. I would love to get two 400GB cards but they're still more than £200 each. Do's and don'ts...- markrich
