[FiiO M11] Android 7.0, 2.5/3.5/4.4 Powerful Output, Exynos 7872, Dual AK4493 DAC chips, 3GB RAM, WiFi, Two-way LDAC

Yes I like Power Amp, and indeed have it also installed on the M11, but it's working via Android framework; not using the DAC directly, as I understand.

I think I'm right in thinking only the Fiio app, UAPP and Neutron allow direct to DAC bit perfect options? I'm not sure of the exact terminology.
Poweramp bypasses Android but has it’s one resampling driver, even on DAPs with DTA. That’s just how the software is coded. Sounds great but not quite as great as FiiO Music, and since I don’t EQ at all, I don’t need to use Neutron and its horrible UI.

Dear friend,

Please try to slide up and down on the album page, can the hidden alphabet scroll bar appear?

Best regards
No the alphabet scroll doesn't appear. It appeared with prior versions, and also appears my cellphone versions of Fiio music. I don't like the alphabet anyhow. It moves the graphics over when it appears which is not aesthetic, and also it's useless to me as i number all my albums :-) - a scroll bar solves all problems, imho :-)

Ok, thanks :) - what does this mean? It forces resampling or...?
Yes, without M11 support (which it does have) it resamples everything to 16/44.1 or 16/48. With M11 support it resamples up to 24/384, but generally keeps it the same as your source files. Poweramp doesn’t do bitperfect in the true sense of the word. FiiO claims all third party apps avoid Android SRC on the M11 but that’s not been my experience. Regardless, I find FiiO Music to sound the best. Some people need crazy levels of EQ, which I’ve just never seen the point of (rather buy a more suitable IEM).

Dear friend,

Please enter settings-apps-fiio music app-store -clear data. Then restart the FiiO Music APP and check again?

Best regards

Mine works just fine (alphabet bar appears when you scroll, and doesn’t push the albums sideways).

Thanks.

I actually prefer the A-Z not appearing, as it's a useless distraction given my numbering system used to name albums. Now... a scroll bar... that would be useful ;-)

I find the M11 is so fast, a few flicks of the finger and I can go from the first to last alums in a flash. Then again I also categorize my albums alphabetically by album artist, so really can’t wait for that feature to be supported! @FiiO

Well my M11 finally arrived over the weekend! Balanced on this is simply amazing, it does help that my XBA-Z5's are total bad ass! There is a good amount of juice in this thing, I'm only at 42-45 on the volume level and it really delivers a punch.

Overall loving the sound and no need to EQ. I've left the Gain on L at the moment and not really experimented with the filters, currently just enjoying and rediscovering the love of my music collection. Not really appreciated it for a while now! I'm happy enough with the Fiio app - I don't playlist and listen album by album and all seems to be ok. Speed is responsive and all looks modern.

Even Spotify has been good, I was worried the difference would be large, but it's not too bad compared to FLAC when A/B testing, but more than listenable.

A question - am I right in saying that I need to download Spotify via APKpure (and not the Fiio store) to be able to install it on my SD card? As for the life of me I cannot move it to the SD card from the Fiio store.

Does the M11 allow you to download Tidal offline to the SD card? I’m primarily using it with Tidal? Can’t find info on this doing the search. Thx.
