Well that's the hobby end of it. Some people get the 'end game' rig, and they are on to other things. Some people like to just buy used stuff, keep it for a while, then sell it, just they can demo a lot of things that interest them, that's enthusiast, but yes, as a a hobby it can get expensive.

The more you read on these forums the more you think that the "new thing" will be the best ever...never ending circle.

Which is exactly why I’m waiting for the experienced and credible reviewers to chime in, not the honeymoon period buyers.

As an audiophile enthusiast I WANT new things! Thats the joy of the hobby.

It sounds very good, plenty of power, drives my HD650 no problem, THX has zero noise and allows for a less "technical" presentation. (as compared to the M11) For me it checks all the boxes, including the UI at a price I can live with. I would have liked to see a larger battery, a case and a cable capable of data transfer. They pretty much cheaped out on the accessories.

Any comparisons available between the M11 Pro and HiBy R6 Pro? Specifically SQ, because FiiO will have the edge in UI and speed and HiBy will have the edge in full open Android and output power.

Output power of the Hiby is much higher . Screen on the M11 pro is nicer and weighs less .

I prefer the Hiby audio quality . The amp to me in the Hiby is far superior .

When did you get the M11pro?

Listening for a day with the LC-4.4D after having the LC-4.4C tying the m11pro and FH7 together for a couple weeks.

Didn't expect a difference but there is and I love it. The bass got meatier, soundstage opened up more and even less distortion.

Really lets me get lost in the sound and appreciate the music instead of the hardware.

If anyone gets the chance to try the Empyrean with this player please let me know what you think. I'm considering selling my Elear and saving up a bit to make the leap and want to know if the m11pro will be "enough" of a stepping stone before getting a high end desktop dac/amp like an iDSD or Hugo 2.

Thanks again Fiio, you've got a great product I hope to enjoy for the next few years...

Can someone compare sound quality of M11 (Pro or not) with iFi xDSD ?

 

[MWeston]

Yes, it is true.

Hi James,

Will the M15 use a THX amp or will that feature be exclusive to the M15 Pro when it comes out? If that is the case, any update on when the M15 Pro might be considered for release, even if no exact date is known at this time?

Thanks!

I read somewhere that fiio uses a different config for its bal out port, like the ground is in a different position, and would need a bal cable specific for fiio. Is this true? Is there an industry standard for the bal out wiring for DAPs?
