    [FiiO M17] Dual ES9038PRO, dual THXAAA-788+, dual power supplies, 9200mAh battery, 2 volume control modes

    Does M17 have higher output impedance with enhanced over-ear mode? I'm using Moondrop Variations and enhanced mode and bass rises significantly and noticeable. Variations have downward sloping impedance starting from bass. Basically, the higher impedance, the more bass and the less treble.

    [FiiO M17] Dual ES9038PRO, dual THXAAA-788+, dual power supplies, 9200mAh battery, 2 volume control modes

    I was using my Fiio M17: USB DAC (PC soundcard while gaming) DC enhanced over-ear mode No charging And received notification that battery is overheating. I downloaded AIDA and found that temperature was 42 degC (probably it was higher because I needed to download it first). Is this expected...

    [FiiO M17] Dual ES9038PRO, dual THXAAA-788+, dual power supplies, 9200mAh battery, 2 volume control modes

    I'm proud owner of M17 upgrading from iBasso DX240. It is literally direct upgrade - everything is better and nothing is worse, sound signature is about the same. It is dynamic, strong and in addition grand sounding. Have anyone tried to replace DK3 fan to noctua equivalent? My understanding...

    DX240 DAP. DAC ES9038PRO - NEW: AMP8MK2S .****** NEW Firmware! 2.01 *******

    I switch between linear fast and linear slow, depending on my mood. As for Gain, Variations scale with higher gain. I was listening with over-ear mode, then I connected to the DC power supply and enhanced over ear mode is even better. Contrary to this, Utopia does not like enhanced over-ear mode...

    DX240 DAP. DAC ES9038PRO - NEW: AMP8MK2S .****** NEW Firmware! 2.01 *******

    I use both with Moondrop Variations and Focal Utopia OG. M17 creates soundstage in front of you by moving it outside of your head, has 3D feeling to images like you can hug it all around its circumference. It has more dynamic, more details, better layering, soundstage and imaging IMO. My...

    I believe Fiio M17 is direct upgrade from iBasso 248mk2 in all SQ aspects. Thats why I just bought Fiio M17 and planning on selling DX240

    Amp8mk2: Fiio FD1, AT R70x Amp1mk3: Moondrop Variations For some reason everything sounds amazing from amp8mk2, except variations. I even listened to a lot of ToTL IEMs in the shop, amp8mk2 sounds amazing with everything here too. Only variations need amp1. Variations don't have bass through amp8.

    DX240 DAP. DAC ES9038PRO - NEW: AMP8MK2S .****** NEW Firmware! 2.01 *******

    I'm getting 1-2 second delay before start of the song in UAPP on Ibasso DX240. Is there fix for that? All other players work perfectly, including streaming services. It is really intimidating. Have not updated yet to the new android, I'm using the newest old android firmware.

    Precog's IEM Reviews & Impressions

    I had opportunity to listed to some high end IEM's in Doctorhead, Moscow. I have always been leaning towards @Precogvision rankings, because I'm very critical of the sound and can feel every nuance that is not perfect. As a result, small issues can ruin IEM for me, while fixing a small issue...

    @Paul - iBasso, I experience inability to install paid apps from Google Play store, like UAPP, PowerAMP, etc. When I click install on Paid app, nothing happens, free apps downloading fine. I have installed Google play store from APKpure. What I'm doing wrong?

    It is close in tonality and in the fact it is subbass focused. It is quality, that other DAPs do not provide. Edit: rephrased

    Introducing Shanling M7 - Portable Hi-Fi Android Player

    I've seen 2 reviews of M7. Both noted peaky treble and not very wide soundstage compared to m8. Are you agreeing with that? Or burn in solves this problem?
