Actually you came into the thread earlier saying you were somewhat pissed and as far as I can tell that was your attitude and what has driven your ranting about what this little $55 every guys DAP does not offer. Criticism is fine as long as it's not driven by angst, I'm not assuming anything about you but just observing how I've read your post. You think using lines like our little utopia are positive to getting your answer? Just saying one should read back what they've written before letting it fly and realize you may be trying to agitate vs. criticize and bring good JuJu to what you wantYou said you can't even get all these bells and whistles on TOTL DAP's and that is where the $3500 came from. The more the better but for $55 I would never expect the world nor the more the betterI'm just thinking for someone looking to FiiO as someone they are interested in buying from your response is not of a nurturing nature but you be you and I'll be me and if we don't agree it's all good
Cheers
I wasn't pissed that the M3 or the X series lack ReplayGain or gapless playback. I was (and still am) annoyed and disappointed. I was pissed at the indecisiveness and lies that FiiO representatives are spreading. By lies I mean the implication that it's the hardware that's limiting them and they are not sure if they can work around that.
I mean, okay, it seems they don't want to implement the feature but why lie. It's so disrespectful. Just come out and say it: "we don't want to do it" or "we're too lazy to bother" or any actual honest reason they may have.
I used the word utopia because I sensed a lot of hostility on the user's post. I felt he wanted me to stop talking about it because he didn't want me to say negative things about something he likes. As I said earlier, the thread is not just about features that the M3 has. Heck, virtually no one has the device so we don't know what features it really does have.
I never mentioned TOTL DAP. I said "premium priced". I thought it was clear I was referring to FiiO's X series (and especially X3 and X5). To me their prices are premium. I consider 3K USD... the word "insanity" comes to mind. I don't know. Maybe it's because of where I live and that I don't have as much money to spend on things.
And while my posts could deter some people, there could be numerous other posts praising the product so any user looking for opinions could just as easily brush off my posts as by some "disgruntled audio person" or something like that.
Also, I feel the need to point out that the M3 doesn't cost $55 where I live. It costs 85 Euro which is roughly 90 USD according the Google currency converter. I consider the discrepancy to be rather significant. Whether this (my) price warrants the expectation of the availability of features like ReplayGain I guess is still subjective. For me at least it does.
