After the planned premiere in autumn 2023, they are already appearing
The first articles about the new expected DAP FIIO M23 - but on the old Android 10
(We have 2024 - where there is already Android 14, it's a bit frivolous)

Where did you get the Android 10 reference? There is and article that points to Android 12, even still on the 660 SoC.

Its kind a surprise Fiio still stick to the 660 SoC, but I still wait and I am expecting to see this with Android 12 (at least).
But using the 660 will also narrow the chances of upgrade the system to more newer Android versions in a very short time frame.

such M23 seems to come a bit too late...
IMHO maybe the development was too slow, it makes dac-amps look more interesting than this dap ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What dac-amps?

@FiiO is always trying to push mature products.
After reading the roadmap I did not found any bone conduction iem.
What's your opinion on the subject?
can we expect something of a quadbids from you?

Tried the M23 and its Android 12 based system yesterday at CANJAM. can not wait for this

1. M27
As FIIO's flagship model at the end of 2021, the M17 has been around for over two years. FIIO plans to replace it with the M27 at the end of 2024. It will continue to be the flagship model in FIIO's portable player product line.

The M17 remains an outstanding player, equipped with powerful desktop mode output and features two flagship DAC chips from ESS, four THX 788+ power amplifiers, complete inputs and outputs of 6.3/4.4/3.5/2.5/coaxial/external power ports/2 Type-C ports, and a currently the highest-performance Qualcomm 660 chip.

It boasts a complete range of standard interfaces. We will continue to enhance the M17 in terms of functionality, performance, and user experience, providing top-notch hardware configuration, and making it an undisputed flagship model among Android intelligent portable music players.

However, it's challenging for the M27 to bring about significant innovations or improvements in appearance design, functionality, and performance, as the M17 did.

So, if you need a flagship player with sufficient performance, powerful output power, complete interfaces, and a satisfying experience, the M17 is enough. Especially when it's on sale, the price is quite competitive.

Are the approximate dimensions/size and weight of the M27 planned for December already known?
I'm curious, is it smaller than the giant M17? Can it be compared to the M15s in terms of size?
In terms of sound, the Astell Kern Kann Ultra is quite similar to (even a little better than) the M17, but is about a similar size as the "little" M15s. A analogical combination of sound, size and weight from Fiio would be amazing!

What dac-amps?

for me, especially the last portable ones from FIIO look very interesting

I eagerly ordered the DK1 Pro for use with my M15S etc.

I was very surprised when the box arrived - it is massive!

https://www.1stplayer.com/productdetails/id/175.html

Seriously, I have ordered the correct one - I wonder which company used the name first?

 

[frkasper]

It's here. Since there seems to be an escalating drama with the DK1 Pro and its compatibility, I am happy to report that:

• Galaxy A13:
• Galaxy S22:
• Music is playing with or without charging:

Damn, this thing is convenient. I guess I will just leave the dust cover on the big boys tonight and rock it from the KA1 dongle.

Plan is to leave this dock in the office. Too bad I had to remove the silicon case in both phones in order to secure a connection.

Good job, @FiiO.

Too bad I had to remove the silicon case in both phones in order to secure a connection.

I am waiting for mine to arrive from afar! As they provided angular adjustment on the connector it would surely have not needed too much thought to also provide some method of height/reach adjustment as well to cater for different designs of phone or DAP with or without a case?

Luckily I am intending to use it with my M15S which is verified as compatible as I don't much like the cooling stand that came with it - too high and just a bit wobbly and for my use I don't need the forced cooling.

Does look neat though

 

[woodbar]

Strange - my DK1 pro has arrived at UK Customs and now Fiio store on AliExpress is saying it cannot be shipped to my address? Lucky I don't need another one!

Im waiting for this DAC to end my FiiO DAC collection.

Q7, Q15 ans K9pro AKM... They are at home waiting for this K19.

Could u share more info about it? Power? Roon compatibility? Photos?

I second this. I'm very interested in the K19 as an option for a desktop DAC, and I'll probably get one and test it out as soon as it comes out. All the photos I've seen seem to indicate that it is meant to be used vertically. I hope it will come with a set of feet for horizontal use. Will it come with a remote? It has two USB C inputs from what I can tell, one on the front and one on the back. How will it handle input/output switching?
