[FIIO SR11] Streaming Music Receiver

[Lindholdt]

@FiiO-Yellow @FiiO Roon announced the SR11 is Roon Ready, yet it still identifies as a M17. Are you releasing the new firmware for it? So it identifies correctly?

They wrote that the firmware will release soon:
"The SR11 has been certified by ROON and we will have new firmware out soon."

 

[zeropoint]

In short, no, they are two different products. The SR11 is released, but the SE15 is not released yet. If you look through Fiio s social media channels, you should see the SE15 still being teased.
I don't think Fiio ever said that your top picture was a teaser for the SR11?
I think the two makes great sense, a higher end streamer and a high value for money streamer.
Not really seeing any problems here?

"Not really seeing any problems here?" No, not a problem, unless you delayed a purchasing decision based on reasonable expectations, or went to the hi-fi show, at some expense, at least in part to see it, again based on those expectations.

However, the post was not a complaint, as such, but a request for some explanation as to what happened.

A quote from the blog from which the 'teaser' photo was obtained:

"Exciting innovations

In terms of innovations, FiiO Electronics Technology Co. Ltd. is presenting the FiiO K11 R2R, the FiiO FD5 and the FiiO SP5 desktop speakers. The new FiiO SR11 Streaming Music Receiver, an alternative to the versatile FiiO R7 and FiiO R9 desktop audio solutions in the classic form factor of conventional HiFi components, should also be particularly exciting."

Just one example of several articles announcing the SR11 and using the same photo, sometimes accompanied by a disclaimer stating it might not be exactly as illustrated, but certainly strongly suggesting it would be more like as depicted in the photo than is the actual SR11, which bears no resemblance: it definitely isn't in the classic form factor of conventional HiFi components, unlike the unit pictured.

I had not seen those, and understand your point regarding them

I don't think anyone could expect a unit like the above in an entry range. It does look good though and I hope it may come to fruit at some stage at reasonable cost, perhaps a Wiim Ultra competitor?

The key word here is "like". No expectation of the SR11 being the same as pictured, since if you look closely at the knob, it bears "FiiO S15", not SR11, but it's not unreasonable to expect something similar. The Majority Fitzwilliam, purely as an example, is far more "like" the S15 pictured - with classic form factor of conventional HiFi components - than is the SR11 but costs little more. I bought one new for £65. It doesn't offer the same feature set, but it is comparable, including DAB/DAB+/FM/DLNA/Bluetooth/USB/AUX-IN/HPA/Internet-Radio/Spotify-Connect, etc. out-of-the-box ready. However, expectations were based on what was stated in the press release, not arbitrary speculation, and FiiO never issued a correction to this.

Did you realise it even says S15 on the unit in the picture

If you follow the thread and read my post just before yours you might realise I wrote "..since if you look closely at the knob, it bears "FiiO S15"

I have much better things to be doing than be following your thread. I find the whole thing pretty ridiculous!

Let it go dude! The S11 isn’t the S15

 

[zeropoint]

It's not my thread. It's my post. If you have so much better things to do and find it so ridiculous, and have no constructive contribution, then why waste your time making inane comments?

Your are 100% right. I do really regret engaging with such stupidity!

Your are 100% right. I do really regret engaging with such stupidity!

And yet you started the stupidity and continue it, despite claiming to have better things to do, perhaps to cover your embarrassment at your initial glaring error.

I’m going to bow out of this mundane nonsense. No one wants to read it.

I will however leave you with a small piece of advice…

… one day FiiO may bring out an S17! Prepare for that day. I’m not sure how you’re going to cope!

 

[zeropoint]

OK must-have-the-last-word-keithmarsh. Life teaches us to never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

你好

我刚刚拿起了 SR11 和 K11 R2R，以为它是 Roon Ready。请问什么时候发布固件？

还有 K11 R2R 有更新的固件吗？

谢谢

K11 R2R 功能已经相当齐全，目前没有固件更新。谢谢

When the SR11 was first introduced and due to be shown at the 2024 Munich High-end Hi-fi Show, the accompanying teaser photo was this:

The suggestion was it would effectively be a landscape version of the R7/9. We waited with enthusiastic anticipation, but AFAIK, it never appeared at the show.

然而，最终当前的 SR11 出现了 - 似乎是出乎意料的 - 在形式和功能上与图示的完全没有相似之处。

图中的原始 SR11 怎么了？为什么目前的模型与最初提出的 SR11 模型如此截然不同，为什么它看起来如此不完整和轻量级，就像匆忙进入市场一样，尽管声称符合标准？

此外，现在可以看到 S15 与照片中原始 SR11 的装置惊人相似。


这是 SR11 最初的本意，但在最后一刻匆忙改变（由于竞争？）解释了为什么它看起来如此不完整且功能如此轻巧？S15 会得到更广泛的应用吗？

此设计是 S15，而不是 SR11。SR11 具有紧凑轻巧的设计。谢谢。
