That new dynamic EQ (on the latest firmware on X7II) is not dropping the volume but sadly it is resulting in distortion. On bass heavy songs, even 2db is resulting in distortion and it's not acceptable. Happiness lived only for a day, the hunt for better EQ continues. Seems like my next DAP upgrade will only be a COWON.

If you want a clean eq, yeah Cowon and Cayin. Colorfly has two kinds of eq in their U8 dao.

Don't know about N8 but has N5II for a while it's EQ was worse than the FiiO's. I have been using Cowon DAPs for more than a decade and still love them for their excellent EQ. Plenue L is definitely going to be my next DAP unless Cowon release an Android based DAP.

Is this a software problem? Is there a chance to make it drop the volume, or helps to do it manually? I'm a little bit confused, shouldn't the other DAPs produce the same problem?

It could be a bad implementation, most of the present DAPs face the same problem and don't have clue why. Apps like Neutron has the gain slider to get rid of that distortion problem but that too feels subpar. The best EQ implementations so far are Lotoo and Cowon. Hiby MESB is great but EQ is not great.

Hi James,
Your privacy settings restricted for personal messages hence contacting you here, I live in Netherland and saw M11 was available for shipping on Ali Express so I ordered it but not sure if this can be shipped because on the event day it was mentioned in Europe it will be available end of May 2019.

My order number is

Thanks for your support.

Is there any difference between the Ali version and the NA version?

Not sure about what NA version means, but there are not any change in the hardware design by now. and there are only one version.
