So I got my Fiio M11 and I put my Sandisk 64 SD card into the Fiio(slot 2) .The card was originally in my M3K where I filled it up with about 4 thousand songs and plays fine in M3K.When I tried to get the M11 to scan for all music it cant find any songs?? What am I doing wrong? I know the card works fine in my M3K. So all of a sudden the M11 starts to scan my music. Not sure why it didn't first time but it seems fine now

Probably due to the difference in formatting, but can't say for sure.

Probably due to the difference in formatting, but can't say for sure.

I actually formatted the card in my M3K player that has that option.Did not see a format option in the M11. I think it was just little glitches from starting up player for first time.At first album art was missing but as it kept playing album art began to show up.This player has a large learning curve but its worth it. Another thing I found odd is volume level on the M11 needed to go up to 60 to 70 however with the M3K I never go above 25-30 for same level of sound. Is there a volume limiter in the M11 that I may not have found yet and it might be engaged?

I really do like JRemote. To access music from home is nice. As I have near 11tb of music files. And only so much fits on sdcards.

11tb of music files!?!
I thought I was OTT with 5tb.
How do you safeguard storage? I use redundant external HDs. However, an EM solar burst could wipe it all. I used to obsess over it but too lazy to fashion a Faraday box.
Suggestions?

Also, has anyone experienced how to import playlists? I read somewhere on this forum that they all have to be edited beforehand or the M11 will not find the music. Is this the case?

I haven't tried the M11 yet, but I suspect it works like every other Fiio. If so, try this:

1. Export playlist in .m3u8 format (I think M3U will work as well).
2. Open Exported playlist in notepad.
3. Press enter at the top to create an extra line, and paste: #EXTM3U
4. You will need to change the pathing of your playlist to match the path of the MicroSD's on your M11. If you are only using 1 MicroSD this will be simple. If you are using 2 MicroSD's, however, you will need to change both paths to match the MicroSD card. Just use the "find replace" function in notepad to do this, replacing all unique portions of the path with their new path on the Fiio player. If your playlist spans 2 microsd's you will need to divide your music collection into two folders on your PC, and create your playlists like that. Then transfer those folders to your SD's, maintaining the exact same folder structure, otherwise SD spanning playlists won't work.
5. Do a "find and replace" and replace all \ with / .
6. Save and place anywhere on your Fiio. To play the playlist, just navigate to it and select it.

As a sample, this is what it should look like before you format:

D:\music\FLAC Archive\tf2\Low Anthem, The\2009 - Oh My God, Charlie Darwin\01 - Charlie Darwin.flac
D:\music\FLAC Archive\tf2\Low Anthem, The\2009 - Oh My God, Charlie Darwin\02 - To Ohio.flac

You don't need the "tf1" folder, those are just my way of distinguishing between the files meant for different SD cards.

This is what I have always done, but it's from the x5iii, so the paths could be different. I think it might be possible to use relative pathing as long as the playlist is placed in the root directory of the SD on which the music it lists is contained, but I have dual cards so this has never worked for me. If you have dual cards, you will have to edit the paths to include the full SD locations.

What's the benefit of a 2.5 to 4.4 adapter?

The 4.4 connection is sturdier, which means there's less chance of you accidentally snapping the little 2.5 connector.

 

[JRichardson1228]

Not sure if anyone's posted the DD case for the M11 in here. I don't remember seeing it in any of the recent pages. Only 10 left on Ali, $36 USD. I'm not big on cases myself, but this one looks pretty nice.

Swipe down twice from the top. Is it on high gain?

Err, none other than prefer thicker plug going into DAP.

Anybody know where I can buy a 4.4 to 4.4 cable so I can connect my M11 to an amp/DAC?

Thanks very much for this guide. I’ll give it a try. I’ve had Poweramp on a previous dap and I may turn back to it if the Fiio music app doesn’t perform well enough.

 

[gazzington]

I have one.

Where did you buy it?

 

[jmills8]

Where did you buy it?

Labkable, new. I had a Mass Kobo amp, but sold it. Then this cable was completed.

Actually, doesn't the 2.5mm standard have a shared earth while the 4.4mm has separate earth per channel? May be getting confused with something else.
