Have owners been able to discern a subjective audio difference from the aluminum vs. stainless steel version? I'd assume the stainless is a bit heavier. Any added benefits from one version to another? Better WiFi antenna strength due to different metals used for the chassis?

Nope, It's the same thing just different metals,I have the SS version. BT,WiFi is good.

go to ebay cheaper

Nope - the "cheaper" ones are actually the M11 Plus in black and are listed above retail - so while cheaper in total cost they are being sold at a premium.

Exactly - I have the aluminum one and both BT and WiFi perform well.

The stainless version is indeed heavier. I have the alu version and I wish it was a bit lighter. I can't really see why anyone would want this in steel, much less pay more for that version...

Only 1000 built may be one reason.

Plus it looks nicer as well.

Completely agree. I had pre-ordered the SS version and when that fell through I switched to the LTD one. I’m so glad I did. I liked the weight of the M11 Pro and this M11+LTD (aluminum) is 79grams heavier and I find it a little too heavy for my liking for carrying in pants pockets (my Sony ZX507 is perfect for that); the SS version adds *another* 95g for a total that is 174g heavier than the M11 Pro. Would need a hefty belt to hold up my shorts if I put it in a pocket, lol.

The SS version may look really cool though, and you get the status of owning 1 out of 1000 produced. Plus, the added weight may be nice if using primarily in a desktop setting and not a mobile one.

 

[Lifter59]

Agreed. Fiio charges $150 more for the stainless steel frame. Internals are the same.

When all the AKM 4497EQ are use up, the aluminium version will be limited edition too

With all this stocking problems , I guess that it is already limited...

 

[chef8489]

Ugh I keep looking at the m11 plus in ss and thinking I'd like to try it out, but I know I want to upgrade my se100 for the se200.

 

[RobertSM]

Does anyone know if FiiO will do an announcement for a new drop to the public of M11 plus LTD?

It seems at the moment only a few retailers have very few units and we are sharing with each other here about availability. I wonder if FiiO will just keep a slow trickle of units fed into the distributors or they will release a larger chunk supply for those of us that haven't had a chance to purchase.
