I own an Fiio M11 which I sometimes pair with Fiio Q5S and BTR5.
I own quite a mixture of different headphones and IEMs:
- Meze 99 Classics
- Audio Technica Ath-msr7b
- Nad Viso Hp50
- Nad Viso Hp70
- Audioquest Nighthawk Carbon
- Sivga Phoenix
- Fiio FH3
- Audeze iSine 10
I am looking for an upgrade, basically I find the M11 a great all rounder but sound wise a little bright up top. I am looking for something a bit more warm and detailed, especially in the low and high end without overpowering the mids. Sounds simple, right
My only previous experience with A&K was the Kann Astro, it was a good DAP but at the time I felt it was too restricted in terms of downloading Apps and I found the sound signature a little too analytical for my liking.
I am not too bothered about installing apps or Bluetooth and I don't use any streaming services, all my listening will be done via music stored on a micro sd card (I will probably purchase a 1Tb SanDisk one from Amazon).
I am interested to hear from current SR25 owners who have either owned or listened to a Fiio M11 and ask...is the SR25 worth the extra $200 price compared to the M11 based on the sound signature, e.g. is there a significant difference in sound quality?
