im liking fiio as well... they iterate... like a smartphone company NOT a slow moving DAP company.
does the MAX sound much better than the M15?
Not a big margin. MAX feels a bit more transparent and a bit more bottom end. I like the vocal rendering on M15 more, though. It is mellower and velvety. M15 is a portable DAP, MAX is Frankenstein's monster of DAPs. It is not refined enough to be used as a DAP - at least for me. It is a music player. If you are looking for something just for desktop use, I would go for RME ADI-2 instead of MAX, which was my original intention before I jumped on the hype train.
