Anyone ordered M11 Plus ESS version from AliExpress/any store from China? Do we get English language or is it is in Chinese, can we at least change the language to English?
Didn't order from China, but mine obviously came from there... you get the language option as soon as you boot up for the first time. You'll have no problem selecting English.Anyone ordered M11 Plus ESS version from AliExpress/any store from China?

As FiiO is extremely responsive and there are no hardwaredifferences between Chinese and international version. The worst what could happen is asking FiiO to send you the link to the international rom. But I doubt that this would be the case with this generation as it was no case in the last generation. I only know about some Hiby-players that had that issue and it was solved via firmware update.Anyone ordered M11 Plus ESS version from AliExpress/any store from China?

And are you happy with your Ess version sound regarding?Didn't order from China, but mine obviously came from there... you get the language option as soon as you boot up for the first time. You'll have no problem selecting English.
DSD is technically poorer, as it blunts transients in the music, making it sound softer. Some people like this. Real, live music sounds much harsher than many people realise. I find that most recorded music doesn't have the dynamics of live music, but that's a whole other issue.TL: DR DSD convert avoids ‘cheap’ PCM filters (depending on your DAC this might make a large difference).
Regarding the subtle chip differences between AKM and ESS DACs, ‘going DSD’ avoids their potential filter differences altogether…
PCM converted to DSD sounds ‘really good’; it may be subtle under earbuds on public transport (maybe don’t bother), but in high end rigs, sounds absolutely amazing..
“Try it, you may(?) like it!”
I only have the ES version (not the AKM one), so I can't do a comparison, but yes I am happy with how it sounds. Good detail retrieval, powerful enough for my IEMs / headphones.And are you happy with your Ess version sound regarding?
There is no new firmware for M11 Plus and the firmware version is 1.0.0.Thank you guys! I have ordered M11+ ESS version. Can't wait to pair it with my Sony m9.
How's the latest firmware so far? Just wondering if I'll update the firmware to the latest version once I got it

only if I could break even.You would spend $1000 just for that?
I would say the ESS is slightly better. If you really look, at appears it might be sharper. But at quick glance, its not apparent. It's not night and day."tjl5709" When you were reviewing both did you look at the screen color quality? My M11 Plus ltd AKM is duller and a little lifeless compared to the M11 Pro it replaced. If the sound quality is the same but the screen is better I may switch to the ESS version.
