Ya I got a copper 4.4mm off AliExpress. It's been unreal so far. My only complaint is it's a little too short, but that's my fault for not checking length

Thanks-any way you can post a link or direct me to the name of these cables?

I use the 2.5 version of this.

Hope this helps.

Early in the thread some people we talking about standby life of the battery, I found that 4% draind off in 10 hours in standby.

I read in the audio options that ALL TO DSD will drain it much faster up to 50%. I have yet to try leaving it in that mode over night in standby but I'll test tonight.

Hope this helps.

i guess it depends what you call dead silent. I’m probably too deaf to notice

Or maybe we're just talking about different things?

I'm talking about hiss evident when no music is playing or when it is paused.

I can't hear any hiss during playback. If that was the case I would have already returned it in a blink of an eye - not only M11 actually but anything that would supposedly be a high end music player.

Ok then I can only repeat from my experience and my ears - when there’s no music playing or a track is paused there is zero hiss. None. Balanced, high volume. None. So either you’re super sensitive or I’m stone deaf

I have to ask has anyone had a chance to compare this BEAST to the Topping DX3 Pro? My D50 died and I dont want to fry the battery by playing the M11 in DAC mode for long periods.

To my experience the only player I have had that was as silent as you describe was DX90. It didn't make any difference whether you had the earphones connected or not - dead silence.

What can I say, hearing loss has its benefits

Using beats wireless 3 and it just isnt as loud...

I have it at 120 volume just isnt loud

What settings do u guys have it on?

Wireless playback quality?
Lowpass filter mode?
Output selection?
Spdif out?

Etc

 

[Jujoe]

LOL

I play the M11 at the same volume as my phone via bluetooth.

Hope this helps as there is a cheeky wee setting in the fiio app

To get enough power output , the gain is a little high and the hiss from balanced is a little higher than 3.5 single end. it is normal .

Would having an extra even lower gain setting help? Or would increasing the volume to achieve same loudness then result in the hiss being same? Just an idea.

It's not a deal breaker and the M11 is excellent value for money, but the hiss is more audible than with some other gear I have.

 

[Caguioa]

@Jujoe Pretty much the same,

just dont know why my audio isnt loud, at 120 i shouldnt even be listneing to it that high, i dont even listen to it that high via wired

 

[Jujoe]

@Caguioa Are you able to test with other bluetooth devices like a tv or a car stereo?

I only ask as in the past I have had devices play louder on other devices

Hope this helps
