Does EQ work on this unit when using it in BT mode through aptx HD?

Dear user,

If you mean the FiiO Music app, the EQ function with work in Bluetooth output as well.

Best regards

Does anyone know if it is possible to use Musicolet on the M6 without it being constantly unresponsive and crashing? I'm running v 4.2.1 build182 and it is a nightmare. Is there a version that actually works on the M6?

I'm running Musicolet 4.2.1 build 182 on my M6 and it works fine with no issues whatsoever.

I'm running Musicolet 4.2.1 build 182 on my M6 and it works fine with no issues whatsoever.

I finally got it to work after updating the firmware to 1.0.4 and installing Musicolet version 4.4 build 205. It continuously crashed on all previous versions of Musicolet I tried.

Glad you got it working alright. What firmware version were you running earlier?

Same here .. fw 1.0.4 and Musicolet 4.4 build 205 has been very stable for me....at least a month or regular use now.

Hi all,

My previous player was/is a FiiO X3ii

I insert a 256 card that works in the X3 into the M6.

The M6 instantly recognizes the card (with no scanning). If I go to File Management, I can see all the songs. I can also select the SD card in File Management and see the artists and their albums and songs.

However, when I go to FiiO Music, all the icons - songs, artists, albums, and genres show nothing. If I go to settings and select - Scan for Songs. The M6 doesn't find anything. I can't seem to update the player to recognize the tagged data.

Does the SD card have to be reformatted for the M6? That would kind of suck as I have 1TB of songs across multiple SD's that I would have to reload after re-formatting, I assume.

What am I missing?

I would advise you to try another lightweight music app to ascertain where the actual problem lies

Like superusuer1 above, I'd advise you sideloading another music player app onto the M6 and try scanning/updating the music library then. I recommend Musicolet.

Hi

I've had several FiiO products (including the X5ii) and the M6 seems to tick a lot of boxes for my intended use as a digital transport and lighter / smaller (second) DAP, namely:

DSD USB out capability
WiFi / Airplay
USB C
LDAC Bluetooth

However, I just bought a FiiO M3 Pro, but the 3.5 inch screen is just too small for my fingers / the number of files that I have and it is difficult to select the right album etc.

Given that the M6 screen is a bit wider (but not any taller?), is this also likely to be a problem for me?

Is the UI laggy (my main DAPis a Sony NW WM1A which is very smooth)?

Will it play my DSD files via my DAC/Amp without a problem?

Thanks

Thank you for the very generous reply and suggestion. I'm kind of a noob at this and not really understanding what sideloading a music app is. I did a quick google search to no avail. Please note, my CD collection is ripped to FLAC if that matters in what app I should try.

Just download Musicolet or Foobar2k or similar either using your PC or phone. Transfer the .APK file onto the M6. On the M6 open the file manager and go to copied apk file and click to install.

I have larger than average hands and fingers, and do find the screen a little bit fiddly to use. Moving the slider to scrub to different parts of a track is a bit frustrating, and not helped by the fact the display can only be used in portrait mode. Generally though, it’s a fair trade off considering the player’s small size.

Unfortunately the UI can be a bit laggy. Usually it‘s just not particularly fast or smooth, but some apps, like Amazon Music will take more than a few seconds to respond.

Thanks for the reply, that is my main concern - that I will find it awkward or frustrating to use.
