[FiiO M15S] Pocket Desktop-Level Player Discussion & Impressions Thread

[Dixter]

This review also covers my experiences with M15s from the first second on.

@Micha111 thanks for the write up... just curious if you tested the second harmonic setting and if so what did you think of the sound with it turned on...

Hi Folks! Our review of the M15S is posted with comparison benchmarks against the older M15 and some nice feature tests, including second harmonic controls with headphones. I liked the timbre I got with pairings on this one a lot, perhaps more so than some of their other DAPs.

Haha, the Word Force security protecting access to your website doesn't like my VPN connection protecting my PC's access to the Internet. I'm blocked from reading your review. Can you do me a favor and post it in its entirety head on Head-Fi in the Head Gear section? TIA

Ah, we don't republish copyright material, but you can also try it without a VPN for a few minutes or change your VPN source server? It will only block you if your VPN IP is blacklisted.

Nice write up.. may end up getting one yet... it sounds like the Hifiman HE1000 series should work well with the M15S and the harmonics setting perfectly...

Yes, I think that would be the case, as the HE1000 V2 I have here can also be unforgiving with sibilance if paired poorly. I would encourage using a well known song in your collection where you can pinpoint steeliness or sibilance in each track and test it. You should notice the change quite easily.

If it tames the HE1000 V2 on the high end it would be a game changer for those phones... they aren't always over to top but with certain songs they can be too much... but the stage and instrument separation would be very good with that pairing..

Well, I spent the majority of my time with the Arya Stealth, which might be considered a bit tamer than the HE1K V2 on the highs, but it's still quite revealing for sibilance if it exists in audio.

Estimado amigo,

Puede instalar la tienda de aplicaciones de terceros como APKPURE y descargar la otra aplicación a través de ella.
O copie el archivo apk en el M15S, luego vaya a la aplicación de administración de archivos para instalar la aplicación determinada.

Atentamente

Hey owners of M15s - Please help me do 1 test (last bit before I buy the m15s)

Is there any Bluetooth lag when watching youtube in m15s receiver mode? My M7 Shanling lag a lot and lips don't match the sound- I have to use a dedicated Bluetooth dongle like the Q5/btr5 ETC . Does the M15s have the same issue?

Thanks
