Just a couple more questions for folks that own one of these:

1) Does folder view work properly?
2) What is the maximum size SD card that can be used before encountering issues?

Thanks to all

Anybody managed to run Youtube music app on this ? and what version of Spotify are most of users on ? i am on 8.4.68.903

Interesting. All valid points to consider a dedicated DAP over a phone. Although nowadays the prevalence of high quality Bluetooth transmitters such as the BTR5 and the Qudelix 5K are on the rise.

Both my cars have been very finicky with BT transmitters (have tried a few now with other older DAP's that have no BT). The M6, being Android based, works just fine and also removes the need for me to carry yet another device around.

The M6 btw isn't for my good headphones - I purchased it mainly for on-the-go, generally used it the car via BT as mentioned. But also for use with my FiiO PK2's mostly as they can handle those just fine. Basically fits a specific niche, in my case.

I have thought of running the YT Music app but not sure how it would perform on the M6. Probably not too spectacularly considering it's video. As for the Spotify version, I can check when I get home later. All I can recall for now is that it's not the latest version of Spotify, that's for certain. Because when I tried installing the latest version on the M6, I ran into problems so I rolled back to an earlier iteration.

You can actually run YT Music in audio only mode. I'd be interested in what you find. I have ordered mine. Due to come tomorrow. Will try and test.

I see, I didn't know that! I'll install it soon. In the meantime, enjoy your brand new M6!

In spite of installing the drivers and updating firmware I cannot get Windows 10 to the device as a portable player so I can transfer files.

Anybody else had this issue?

Thanks

Sorry to hear that. It pretty much worked for me from the get-go. Have you installed the MTP driver for Windows? Also the software that installs the Fiio Control Panel? Another one is the Fiio USB DAC Driver (http://fiio.me/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=44021)

This should be the only one required - this works on the M11 Pro, and there are no different drivers for the M6.

SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones v1.5.9.0 - https://www.fiio.com/filedownload/20675

This is the latest actual version of that driver (v1.7.23.0), from Samsung: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19EgKfmW6GxfS-m2-IKNkUEzLiMu2DOKg/view?usp=sharing

Thanks all

Forgot to come back and say after posting here that using the latest drivers with it worked. Amazing little thing. currently listening to a high quality download from BBC Sounds through my office amp and it could be bias but it does sound slightly better than from my PC through the Sonata Pro DAC.

Just got to get all my local music tagged now..

One last question - do apps installed manually get updated?

Cheers all

Since there is no Play Store, apps installed manually have no way of updating themselves.

"Since FW1.0.3, we have added new option to remove the white list app limitation; You can go to "Settings -> General > About device" and tap 7 times on 'Kernel version' to remove the limitation,and then reboot the player. After that you will be able to install any third-party apps"

This means you could install something like APKPure, and this will help updating the apps.

you can use aurora store

Glad to know it's working out for you. Enjoy in good health!

Interesting. I haven't heard or tried either the APKPure app or the Aurora Store. Are they perfectly safe to use on the M6 as an alternative to the official Google Play Store?
