Well, I am very new to the world of dedicated DAPs (I just got an R6 Pro, my last one was an iPod years and years ago, and in between I just used my various phones).

As a new user I don’t see it as a question of SQ or features/bling-bling. I see it as SQ AND features/bling-bling. If something is easy to use and a joy to use it will probably be used much, much more than if it is just very good, but awkward to use or has limited capability. I think of my smartphone and my Nikon camera... I use the smartphone for photos MUCH more, though the quality is not as good (but these days much, much better!).

As much as I love the SQ and power out of my R6 Pro, I really like its other “smartphone” like capabilities, and it keeps me glued to it more. If only the form factor were more like my smartphone I would really be enthralled with it. But the brick-like form factor... what were they thinking? After using my R6 Pro, it makes my LG v30 look like a work of technological art from the 22nd Century...

By the way, even though I own a competing product, I really, really want the M11 to succeed wildly. I think it is a stellar price point and awesome value for what you get. Personally I would want Android 8 or 9, along with Play Store support, but that’s really just me and what I am used to, nothing fundamental.

Cowon Plenue D2 is “cheap” and pure on SQ . But I didn’t hear it myself

I have the D2 and I must say it's like 10x better than the M6 and the M9 together. And if I remember well it was cheaper than the M6.

Cowon and Questyle... cayin.
But there are more out there which are focus on apps and features ..

Astell and Kern, sony, Lotto, Cowon, Hifiman , Shanling, cayin, Questyle, opus. I can count Android supporting DAP on my fingertips.

Do you have other DAPs you can compare Plenue D2 to regarding Sound?

 

[crazyeyes]

I think I will try out the m11 as well .
I think it will be like Ibasso Dx150 sq wise ( with stock amp) maybe a little below

I had the DX150 and amp6 and went to the M11. I actually find the M11 to sound better. I think it is a little bit more neutral but found it has a wider soundstage and better imaging and airyness with my HE560 and HE1000.

Hey , that’s great to hear !

Good thing you're not prone to exaggeration.

Do you hear this better sound? Isn't covon d2 too analytical? Can describe more? M9 used with balanced and good matching iem? Thanks

I don't suppose you evaluated this with perfectly volume matched blind tests

 

[mattg3]

Well the M6 is 149 and the Plenue D2 is 319. I had the Plenue D and I thought the Fiio M3K with custom EQ sounded much better.

I am a bit late to the party maybe, but what about the reported defective 4.4mm output? I was that close to pull the trigger yesterday night, but after having read problem with the 4.4mm output, I would appreciate positive returns from current owner and users. Thanks in advance.

Looks like that's a one off. The rest are reporting their 4.4 connection is working just fine.

Ok, thanks for your answer.

 

[cjfreitag]

Yes, my 4.4 jack is working fine.

I'm actually looking forward to my morning commute for my first extended listening session. Lots of Qobuz HiRes downloads to check out!

I have a few "green" questions I'd like to ask. All of my daps have been straight, wired only music players. Currently I have the Opus #1s. I'm contemplating selling it to help fund the M11. Correct me I'm wrong, but it sounds like we aren't certain if when this dap gets released in the States, if it will have 1 or 2 card slots? Also, with this dap I can download lossless files from places like qobuz directly to the SD card? To download apps, do you get them using Chrome while on Wi-Fi? I really have no need for all of the other stuff. I have my V40 for that. I don't need to be able to heat a burrito in the microwave or flush the toilet from my dap, but if anyone would be so kind to sort of touch on all the features this dap has, and what they do, I'd greatly appreciate it. Like I said, very green. I've always been one for simplicity, and have always stuck with a basic, good sounding dap, but this device looks pretty incredible. Thx head fi
