When I received M15, was comparing it with AK Kann, sound was pretty similar, Fiio was more boomy, but details and stage-ing neck to neck. M15 was left working few nights in a row, and listened to every day, sound has changed, there is very deep stage, with a good width, another layer of details came of top, and sub bass increased while bass being less boomy. Mids are beatiful, on par with Astell, but top end frequencies are way better, Kann now sounds dull, while Fiio's lower treble are way more detailed without any signs of sibilance. Dynamics are on another level and sound is full bodied without losing any information from audio files. To feel full power of dual 4499, it has to be fed with adequate audio files, hi-res, lossless then it starts to shine and stretch its legs and muscles, leaving Kann in a dust. DAP is TOTL and that is exactly what I was looking for, but it needs lots of hours to break in, components are high grade and require even 300h to settle properly.

Exactly how I feel brother.

Wonderful device, love it.

Is anyone using "All to DSD" feature? And what would be the point for this? Upsampling doesn't improve sound quality.
And why is Netflix not found in play store? I see HBO go, Amazon prime.

Just a side comment..

Working around with apks is the solution I guess but why isn't Netflix found in play store while others are?

I believe it has to do with the way devices have to be authorised by Google to be recognized as compatible or incompatible for the various sofware versions versus the various Android OS versions.

Only then can one install a signed application on an Android device. That makes that developers constantly have to ensure that their apps are signed for use on a defined set of devices

UAPP has also struggled a bit with that phenomenon that actually is caused by Google. Some other developers simply decide no longer to bother with that for devices that are 'less strategically important' such as the FiiO M15.

Remember, the M15 may come with the play store but in fact is no longer officially supported due to Android 7 .. But at least Netflix offer a workaround with an unsigned version of their own app

Hello @FiiO how does the M15 fares wiyh accesibility? Is the fiio music app read by screen reader?

The: demon 9200, foster th900, campfire cascades are all ones that I think are great with the M15, I haven’t tried any closed planars myself but the LCD-X and the Diana are good so I assume others are nice as well

How well does the M15 drive the Diana when compared to your desktop setup? You think it takes it to its full potential? I'm looking into getting a pair.

With the 4.4 I really like it, I’m not sure if it’s getting the full potential but it was enough that I sold my desktop setup. But I know I saw someone else say they didn’t like the combo, the M15 is very neutral with prominent bass with the Diana, I think some people prefer a warmer sound with Diana. Are you looking at the V2 or the Phi?
I like neutral and aggressive sound, for example my fav pairing for th900 is Paw Gold which is aggressive.

I'm looking for a closed pair to pair with the M15, but I have always been intrigued by the Diana. I was thinking about getting a Denon D9200 or D7200, but when I had the TH900 mk2, it sounded so thin on my desktop setup. I know Fostex and Denon aren't the same thing, but they share similar technology. I always prefer planar.

 

[LightBlue77]

i also search for a closed back pair to move around with it, so bricks like LCD-XC not considered even though i'd like to have one. I had Denon D7200, the sound was great, musical, on the soft side, plenty of bass, well separated frequencies but without the punch i was used after owning planars.
I now have Fostex th909 which blasts, but it is open and quite big for my small head, i cannot move around too much as they will not stay put, especially with the long heavy stock cable. i ordered a shorter balanced 4.4mm cable, maybe it will be enough, until then i try to find some closed back, has anyone had any experience with Ultrasone Edition series? They are closer to a more portable shape, seem not too big, a tad thinner driver then e.g. fostex, denon, audeze, sony, audio technica.

Seems like @FiiO is not interested on their disabled customers. I asked Wethersfield the fiio music app is accesible by android Talkback (screen reader for the blind)

I hear good things about the Denons, I’ve never tried them though, cascades and the Ultrasones are great too

I have the edition 15 veritas and like it with the M15, but Campfire cascade is really good with the M15. I like the edition 15 more with lotoo paw gold

Not sure if fiio has said anything but I can try when I get home

Usually the screen reader is under accesbility options..
