That is technically impossible. a lower res music file can never be upgraded to high res music file. That is just not possible. you just cannot magically get high res files by converting from low res music files, there will be severe artifacting in the transcode
Converting a lower resolution file to a higher one is pointless as you'd only be creating a bigger file with absolutely no extra usable data. However, this All To DSD , I assume, is simply an upsampling (treating a lower res file as if it were higher, i.e processing at a 192kHz rate rather than the minimum required 44.1kHz), which apparently has some benefit. Exactly how true that last part is I'm not sure.

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 surprised. Assuming for the bigger figure and saving up to replace the x5iii which suffers on performance when trying to cope with 20000 songs on two 400gb cards. Got my fingers crossed for this one.
Hiby R6 pro with UAT transmission to W5 gets my vote.
I have a love hate relationship with my M9
Lack of simultaneous WiFi and LDAC
very poor screen touch responsiveness
Lack of global eq
Fiio may have blown it with me.
Why not Oreo? That's the Android version with the HiRes reputation! How can I be confident that non Fii0 apps like Qobuz and Tidal will pass through a pre Oreo Android version and not get reduced to 44.1k 16 bit?
Do you guys think this'll be better than the ZX300A (16GB variant, $380 on Joybuy)? Apart from the battery life, UI/OS (I like custom OS designed for music more than android, but this is preference though), and the slightly more expensive price tag the M11 seems to be a quite promising competitor to the Sony.
The 'ALL TO DSD' claim; what does that even mean? Are they suggesting that they will upscale all music from whatever source to 1Bt? Is it actually possible? This seems a bit optimistic to me, but FiiO must have tested it, so I'd love to hear the results when the first models are sent out for reviewing.
You could always test it with Onkyo HF Player from playstore but you require to purchase it. It has the same so called 'All To DSD' feature yet you need to attached it to an external DAC, then select the real-time DSD Conversion which has 4 option of conversion:
- DSD 2.8 MHz
- High-Precision DSD 2.8 MHz
- DSD 5.6 MHz
- High-Precision DSD 5.6 MHz
