@FiiO I already asked this before, but didn't get a reply, so I'm asking again: will there be cases for the M6 which cover the screen in the near future? I know that these kind of cases exist for most of the Fiio DAP's from the X-series. A company named Tuff Luv made them. Any updates on them or another company making this kind of cases?

[FiiO M6] Portable High-Resolution Lossless Music Player,Embracing A Wireless Future
I had M7 first and sent it back, this M6 sounds much better, more dynamic-the 7 sounded dry and lifeless.
The M7 had bogus firmware in my opinion. This M6 is by far a better unit to me in every category.
Just my 2 cents
No issues with M6
How is the battery life? do you get the 13h they advertise?
btw, @FiiO does the m6 have any kind of screen protection (hardened glass, etc) besides the plastic screen protector that comes with it?

How’s the startup time since you’re turning it on and off all the time?Battery is 13 hours in standby for me . Listening to music 8 or so.

Hi friend,
As introduction from Fiio, the M6 produce Hi-res quality of sound. So, do we need to use any portable DAC in combination with M6?
I have a Senn HD 598 headphone, what portable DAC should I combine with M6?
Is that when using with DAC the quality of sound better?
Please share your experiences! Many thanks!

Wow, that’s a long time. It’s not like 15 seconds?Length? About a min or two
I’m pretty sure the integrated DAC is fine according to most people, however I think you can use line out if you want to upgrade to an even higher quality. Can someone else confirm this?As introduction from Fiio, the M6 produce Hi-res quality of sound. So, do we need to use any portable DAC in combination with M6?

Anyone knows how this compares to the Hidizs AP80 in soundquality? I have the AP80 and love how it sounds but the buildquality and screen is crap, so I'm looking at this now.

As for the AP80, there’s not many reviews at the moment. TBH if I were you, I’d stick with the AP80 until more reviews are out, or till you can get a hear of it yourself.

The not-so short startup time might be because of being a full Android OS in there? If WIFI usage is draining the battery, maybe just turning off Wifi will do? Just guessing.How’s the startup time since you’re turning it on and off all the time?

Line-out is analogue - so you're still using the M6 DAC. You'd use it if going to another amp.
And the M6 DAC is plenty good enough for human hearing

As mentioned everything off and no music playing so drains for me when she is off. Won't last a day for me. I even did factory resetThe not-so short startup time might be because of being a full Android OS in there? If WIFI usage is draining the battery, maybe just turning off Wifi will do? Just guessing.
It's really sad that they couldn't get a battery capacity closer to that of the M7 with it's incredible battery life, with that the M6 would've been the definitive device. Though its true with it's small size it'd been difficult to make it fit. Who knows batteries are getting more and more efficient in the proportion of Mah/dimensions.
The build quality is really that bad? how about the battery life? 8-10h?
You should ask @FiiO @JamesFiiO, because that standby time you mention doesn't seem correct.

Dear friend,
No, but the LDAC receiver function will be added in M6/M7/M9 in the coming soon.
Best regards
Does this mean that the bi-directional bluetooth transmission doesn't come with the M6 out of the box? The initial post in this thread with the specs said it's supposed to be able to do that.
