Currently running a second round of comparisons between the R6 Pro II and the M15S, two daps that I considered to be on the same level but at the same time are very different sounding.Can you define”very different” and “not close at all”.
Genuine question I would like to understand what others hear/perceive.
In my mind “not close at all” simply makes no sense, to me that is describing a bigger difference than swapping out IEM or headphones not just the DAC/amp and I very much can tell even similar IEM apart.
Soundstage: M15S sounds wider horizontally, R6 Pro II is narrower but clearer.
And that's just with two daps that I consider perform on the same level overall.
Just a short example for @BS5711, it's quite off topic lol. But yes depth is the same is, layering is a unique forte of the N6 Pro II, x-ray like so its in a class of its own. Tallness both are the same but I consider that the forte of the Elysian Annihilator I'm using to compare the two, the air and extension it has not been matched by anything I've heard since 2021.thank you for your impressions! Can i assume that regarding soundstage depth, layering and tallness they are all about the same?
If you can hear the difference going from a bass bore eartip to a foam one, you can definitely hear the difference between daps/dongles/dacs
The Usb Audio Player Pro app sounds better on it like the original ?Arrived yesterday and everything is set up (settings) - the first impression is very positive

Yeah you can do that on FiiO Daps.Silly question but I've never owned a DAP before... do these support screen rotation like a regular Android phone? I'm thinking about desktop use and wanting the ports facing towards me, but I'd have the device upside down obviously.

That is what I did too when comparing gear in earlier times....
I was listening today after the above conversation and compared my little Shanling M3 Ultra to an iFi Go Bar running off an iPhone 15 Pro both running from Apple Music downloads and volume matched as close as I could there was no immediately discernible difference listening to the same 30 seconds of music one after the other.
Been comparing sources for a long time now. Depending on your iem/song/loudness it will be easier or harder to hear the difference.That is what I did too when comparing gear in earlier times.
Result - hardly heard any discernable differences.
Took me some time to realize that this simply ain't the proper way to compare gear. 30 seconds are simply far to short.
Need to listen to any kind of gear for a few minutes before exchanging for another. Best with music that alters not to much. Then change the IEM/cable/tip/DAP and repeat for another few minutes.
Your brain needs a bit of time to adopt to different sound signatures etc...

Because you don't tried the Usb Audio Player ProHas anyone compared the sound quality from M23 to the M17? How about to other DAP outside of it's pricepoint?
I love my DX320 X but I'm always very curious and I've never tried any of FIIO's beefier DAPs like the M17 or the M23. I've only had the OG AK4499 M15 before.
The features with these newer FIIO daps are quite tempting such as those extra LEDs, Ultra Gain mode ect.
I don't really care much for any music player besides Neutron Player with rooted settings.
