Kann alpha is far from being powerful (no real specs available at 32 ohms) .. and loads of distortion after a certain level of power, even with power hungry headphones (Like HEDD) it's impossible to use over 135/150 as it's totally a distorted result
I hope Fiio M17 will be at a far higher stage than the nearly obsolete and low cost Kann Alpha.

And that painfully slow user interface.
My M11Pro is far better than that.

M17 will generally have the better performance than M11 IMO.

M11 [and M11Pro], yes. M11Plus, no. That and the M17 both use the same SoC, Qualcomm 660.

I loved the "all to dsd" function on the M11Pro and I wonder if this new marvel will bump it up to "all-to-doubledsd"? That'd be awesome indeed!

Sounds like it will eat up a ton of the battery usage.

I am not very fond of "all to DSD" because for my tastes it seems to smooth things a lot and rob the sound of it's bite.

It will be interesting to see how the final unit turns out.
Looks very promising.

Any news about M17? Status, availability date, etc?

 

[newworld666]

I think they said somewhere, announcement of M17 should be Q4 2022.

I just hope that for one time fiio won't put any outputs plugs same side as USB-C. I can't use M9 or M11 on a dock station just because 4.4mm output is same side as USB-C.

Hi FiiO,

Any news on the official release date and finalized spec?

Thanks.

 

[atheo]

Maybe people should just take it for granted that - until there's some new news - there's actually no new news?
