Um why is this thing not outputting correct bitrate when using OTG to an ifi DSD black I get green light on it only. Tidal not working properly either, nor tracks using the fiio music app...Plus this constant freaking noise every once in while like when you click button to turn off display. It makes a noise and randomly makes the noise after that, and this is without moving either device no moving just sitting on desktop untouched at all. What the hell...

Now we all start to experience why this chinese stuff is so cheap...

Didn't someone else experience this with the M6 (or possibly the M7 or M9)? I'm sure I've seen it mentioned.

Edit: from a quick Google there seems to be a number of issues specifically with the ifi DSD Black and Android devices. Have you got the latest firmware on the ifi?

Has anyone been able to get last.fm scrobbleing working with the m6?

Sorry if this has been covered before but I need to know how to set Fiio music to play library in random shuffle. I would have thought this was a pretty basic function but it doesn’t appear that way
Cheers

Though I am not Chinese, i dont see any objective logic behind that statement... I would say why paint everyone with the same brush..

I just bought an M6, did you recommend me to update the firmware or leave it at the factory,? I have read that the updates give problems

 

[pawdog]

Problems like what?The latest update improved the device quite a bit. Whitelisting many new apps. As far as I can see the update only made the device better. I have no issues whatsoever.

Anyone know how to improve the battery life. Even with WiFi off the time available is appalling. A few hours really.

I think the only way you can squeeze Fiio’s claims of battery life out of the device is to leave it continuously playing music, at a moderate volume, with the screen off.

Any time the screen’s being used, opening/closing apps, skipping, searching, etc, will eat into battery life. I find using Line Out is hard on the battery too.

I don’t think the battery life of the M6 is great, but being small, it does charge up quickly.

Yea maybe that's just my problem using it usb out into my ifi. I use it with screen off never switching tracks letting album play through via usb into the ifi and yep battery drain is super fast you ask me. Everyone said turn ifi on first and duh I of course I do that but I been wondering this whole time. I might just send this thing back to Amazon. Cause I mean jesus what does this even do at this point that our phones can't. And this things on board audio blows. My phone is better. I hoped for better battery life than my phone but that clearly isn't gonna happen.

Does anyone use a bluetooth audio controller like the Fiio RM-1 with this? I use the M6 with a controller when hooked up to a BT speaker when I ride my bike. Everything runs fine for awhile. When the controller goes into sleep mode, the DAP goes into pause. If I click the controller, it awakens and I can get it playing again. It happens with the RM-1, and the other button controllers out there. The thing is, every once in awhile, the DAP will continue to play even when the controller goes to sleep. Very frustrating trying to figure out what allows this or causes this variability. All sleep/pause functions are off on the DAP.

A device this small with such a tiny battery I wouldn't expect more than several hours of actual play time. I haven't gotten to use mine more than that without charging yet.

 

[alchemist23]

A 12 year old iPod classic which ain’t much bigger can do at least 4 times the Fiio. Where’s the progress?

Its the screen. I hit the on/off button to shut the screen LCD off once I get my list playing.
