My video about M6

Just finished the video. I think I'll take the M6 over the Hiby R3, due to it being cheaper and having the ability to listen using my primary apps (Apple Music, I think I heard Bandcamp being on there).
Thanks for the review!

The reviewer on Headfonia mentions that the M6 also sports Apple Music app, but it does not. My number 1 feature wish for the M6 would be Apple Music App whitelisted though.
That would make the M6 just absolutely perfect (for me).

Yep it sounded weird to me too, didn't see it in other reviews. The official source for the whitelisted apk (and the download links from fiio itself) seems to be this one:

How good is the battery life? I noticed that in just 30 min battery dropped more than 10%

Anyone compare the audio of the M6 and the Fiio M9? Interested in purchasing one of these. Curious how they differ sound wise.

Did this get answered?

thx

Apple Music doesn't seem to be available at the moment. Not sure if a similar issue but the problem according to the video to run Google Music is that, well, you don't have Google Services (makes sense). KKBox, Netease and such are not available in my country, I'll stick to Spotify, maybe will join Tidal. Google Music would be my third option but I'll be alright with the other two. If you could have the 4 big ones (Spotify, Tidal, Apple and Google) that would be a super device indeed.

they have licence isus


for audiobook, we had tried to contact the them and they told us they can't supports DAP based on Linux and Android DAP which google version is too low. to be honesty every DAP brands are thinking everyday to make some new features so they can win the market, do you think we are refuse to sell more ? or we just don't know quite some people are asking again and again hope we can add this features.

I'm confused. Can the FiiO's resume where you were listening to an audio book mp3 file?

I thought that Apple Music was on there, thats unfortunate it isn't. I don't use it for streaming; I just am an iPhone user and have been using that in place of a DAP for a long while now.

It would be great if fiio whitelisted Apple music and SoundCloud

Understand. I'm using Android and my phone audio sucks (iPhone is much better imo) so going the alternate road. Maybe AirPlay will come in handy? You can airplay from your iPhone to the M6 and have the best of both worlds (using the iPhone Apple Music utility and listening in the M6)

Hi, in the quite detailed headfonia review they talk about the sound comparisons: https://www.headfonia.com/review-fiio-m6/3/

Some bits:
".. In direct comparison, the FiiO M6 seems to give you better performances than the M7. The soundstage is wider, decay and sustain feels more natural, even if you don’t listen to them one after the other." and " (the M6 has).. Crisp mids, great vocals and overall the typical FiiO signature, in a smaller format. The FiiO M9 gives you better performances, thanks to its symmetrical output, but for the price the M6 is a great DAP. Frankly, it’s amazing to hear how much this device has evolved from the old FiiO X1 and X3…"

Yeah that's the other reason why I am looking into it. Unfortunately ever since my OneMore Triple Drivers broke I have only had Jabra Elite 65t's, which are true wireless but w o a h it compresses literally everything that runs through it to the point of sounding worse than generic $30 IEMs. Not bad for running or casual listening, but not ideal for my music. For example Carpenter Brut's "You're Mine" from the FURI OST sounds as if you're running it through a filter to take any bass or instrumental separation out.
