The M11 Plus has a 4.4mm line out and the K9 Pro has a 4.4 line in, but there do not seem to be (m)any 4.4mm line out cables around. Will you be making and selling any of these?

Thanks

My FIIO M11 LTD in Mode DAC - USB connected to a computer with Windows 10
Tidal running here in Exclusive mode - works fine (when I run YT in the same time - an audio rendering error appears - this should be a fair situation).

Yesterday I installed Windows 11 and turning on the exlusive mode in Tidal (Mode DAC-USB)
I still hear system sounds and Tidal does not take control in YT there is no rendering error message and I hear sounds from Tidal mixed together.
Does your Exlusive mode in Tidal work properly in Windows 11?

How do u hook it up to the computer?

Included with the FIIO M11 Plus Ltd. you should get a dedicated USB Type A> USB Type C cable.

Connect USB Type A to your computer/laptop and USB-C to the M11 and that's it.
On a Windows 10 computer, the device is recognized on the fly.
On the M11 you on the USB-DAC mode when you plug it in.
In Windows 11, for the Exculive mode to work in Tidal, I installed the driver I wrote about.

then what play music from the m11 and it goes through the computer?

 

[123peter]

Vice-versa.
To explain it to you very simply - laptops and computers usually have lower quality amplifiers.
When you play music from your computer, e.g. your own songs/files, lossless music ..... the signal goes to the sound card in the laptop computer and then to the speakers / headphones
When you use DAP, it replaces that sound card from your laptop and does a lot better.

So the files u play from the computer go through M11 (dac)

Thank you for confirming the USB dac function. Are you able to tell me if it supports anything greater than DSD 128, which i was confused about from the spec sheet. Thanks

Using M11+ for the first time as digital source for my Sony DAC/Amp. Using Apple Music, the sample rates are correct so it seems Android SRC is bypassed as I am seeing 44 to 192 depending on the lossless track from Apple Music. The one weird thing is I have to max out volume in order to get normal volume to my DAC. Is this right? At least it remembers the volume level and when I disconnect USB, I do see volume drop automatically to what I had it for headphone output. Lastly does coax output also need volume adjusted or is it fixed? I'd like to know before getting the coax cable.

thanks!

Maxing out Volume to a DAC is the right way (see qudelix 5k info) as android doesn't support a global volume, there is no other way than to max out the volume for USB-DAC and Coax-SPdif (as both are adjustible on nearly all systems). Only the line-out function is fixable (2VRms is the standard)

Thanks, much appreciated. Now I know where to go if I ever change my Amp and get one that has a 4.4mm input .

Question: Am I reading the specs. om M11 Plus ESS that when in USB-DAC mode, DSD is limited to 128? This seems below standard, even my FiiO BTR will do DSD256.

If it is limited to DSD128 currently, can we expect that to be increased via future firmware update.>

We are so sorry for the mistake that we made in the SPEC of our website. M11 Plus and M11 Plus LTD all can support DSD256, we will revise it into our website.

Thanks for the explanation. Not sure I need to go coax. I am using a OTG adapter with power splitter for USB and it works great. If anyone in interested, here is the adapter:

I got my M11 plus ess today and I tried to change some settings. Now, I'll be using an IEM, which should be the 3.5mm and 4.4mm output? PO or LO (I'm scared that it'll break my IEM or it will hurt my ear due to insane volume. I forgot which one was the default one).
