Hi. Dpnt know whre to ask this qeustion, so I'll do it here. Im considering swithcing from my Plenue J to the M7 cause I cant stand the lack of bluetooth anymore and wireless headphones.
My question is about the volume wich I saw has 60 levels, is there any difference in the highest output compared to my Plenue J wich has 100 levels? I usualy play most songs above or around 90/100 level, so I cant stand to loose to much volume. As a fact, I sold my Sony NWZ-ZX1 (malaysian, not Japan wich I understand plays much higher) cause the volume was painfully low.
Will I notice a difference with this one or is there any charts so I can compare them against each other?
Thanks.

Dear friend,

The highest Bluetooth output level of the M7 is similar with most mobile phones.
For the issue like the small sound when the M7 is paired with Airpods via Bluetooth, you could try:https://www.fiio.com/newsinfo/63618.html
If there are local store in your city, you could have a try first:https://www.fiio.com/wheretobuy

The M7 support USB audio function. So you could try and test about the compatibility.
