Unfortunately the EU prices are really high. For example, the SP2000 costs GBP3400 at amp3, which is about $4450, and which is an eye watering $950 / 27% difference. M11 costs in Germany €500 = $550, again $100 difference - 22% more expensive. Total rip off!

There was the Boxing Day Sales until, I think, 2. Jan with 15% off.

Man,that sucks...you guys need to catch one of your friends traveling to the states and have em carry one back on a plane for you. These prices really suck.

Worth knowing is most of the stuff I get from AliExpress to the UK these days gets stung for import duty and a handling fee. Nothing used to do, now its like 80% of orders so generally works out more expensive than the UK (if the product is available here)

I agree, most stuff I buy gets stung with customs too. Worth factoring it in to the price before you buy

We were talking about this the whole time , and it was already there:

https://porta-fi.com/fiio-link-a-first-look/

"A companion functionality, FiiO Link allows users to remotely control their FiiO DAP as well a synchronised view of the playback through their smartphones via Bluetooth. FiiO Link is built into the FiiO Music App and will be made available on Android during the launch of the M6. Availability on iOS will be at a later date."

If it’s posted on AliExpress hopefully that means it won’t have any delays for distribution.
I don’t see anything about it being a pre-order on AliExpress either.
Hopefully we start getting some impressions quickly.

The App works on the iphone without you having to have a fiio player... FYI

Looks like we'd get hit in the US as well. If I understand correctly items valued above $800 are subject to fees. On the listing FiiO says they'll state the value as 60% of the price, so $1,349 x 0.6 = $809 or just over. Hopefully US distributors get it soon.

Hi.
the fiio Is 122 DB s/n. I find it very low.
All other players have a way better s/n.
The ibasso dx 160 haves 130db s/n.

What I Don't know is the s/n A - weighted means ?
Maybe is a difference between a- weighted and non a- weighted?

That's the same SNR as Cayin N8 and SP1000 (120/122 db unbalanced/balanced). It is not very low at all.

Don't go by the numbers, they can be deceiving. Always trust your ears.

Thx

But I don't like this numbers
Then you following numbers instead of your ears. You need money to go by ears and its free to over think .

I bet cayin N8 will still win.
Not sure how good is m15 but spec wise they got it. Parts wise maybe also on top of the mountain.
But what is fiio sound tuning?

Is it reference neutral side or more organic and natural?
Very interesting hope I can audition m15 in near future as well
