It might be too early for this, but what I’m most interested in is knowing if there are any improvements/differences in sound quality between the M15 and the M17 to justify the upgrade.
There's a video on YouTube that says the difference between M17 and M15 is bigger than the difference between M15 and M11.

Why don't you email or call them?
They already called me .. and they told me they didn't expect anything before the beginning of December.
So I wait till December.

Not really M17 related, but has anyone tried the new PowerAmp Equalizer application? It has an advanced mode, which might attach to the streams on DAPs where Wavelet doesn't work. Can someone please try it on a FiiO DAP, for example to EQ Qobuz or the native player? I currently have no DAPs.

At least it can EQ the FiiO application on my mobile phone, but I am not sure if it will work on a DAP where the Android audio stack might have been tweaked to skip the resampling. @newworld666 this might be what we have been looking for, but I am not sure if it will work on a DAP.

@WianFiiO, do you think this would work on the Android 10 implementation you have with M17? It would solve the system generic PEQ issue.

That can be a good alternative for Qobuz and the offline playlists. Till, now, I have no way to EQ those.

But, actually since the DCA Stealth became my reference headphone, it's the first time for 10 years or more that I don't need any EQ and I can even set my player to Bit-Perfect and feel the sound is the best as possible.

For the Heddphone One, I still some little PEQ, but, I hope with the M17 I will avoid it too. And the Sennheiser IE900 much more EQ, but I am not sure I will use IEM with the M17.

I tried with Fiio M11 and it's not compatible and not with the Hiby R6Pro too.
I imagine android 10 only, which is not a real surprise, as the sound system in android 10 is totally different from before without any oversampling/resampling bypassing the android system ... bit perfect ?.
