Well done!

I'd like to hear how it sounds before I start commenting...

Of all the ridiculous things I've ever heard.........(Sarcasm alert. I actually agree with you. Amazing how many people don't catch on to that stuff)

Nice!
Will it have balanced out?
And what's the maximum output power? Will it be able to drive the Sundara?

The original M11 had 2.5 and 4.4 balanced out and was able to drive my Ananda very nicely (a quick Google will tell you the power output of the M11 Pro from balanced and the new ltd edition should at least match the M11 Pro).

Is this the first ever DAP with Android 10?

@FiiO Does it bypass Android SRC for bit-perfect playback on all music streaming apps?

No no! Don't listen or enjoy! Only look at the specs! (piling on to the sarcasm wagon).

In defense of the examining and critiquing of the specs: it is a shame we audiofans don't have a good way to listen and evaluate the new exciting tech that is coming out. Trade shows were my way of doing this but we haven't had so much of that fun the past year and a half. I suppose the specs are a surrogate for listening because we are not able to go out and audition each new jewel of audio.

We need Music Player and Headphone stores set up like Apple and Microsoft stores. It will never happen but I can dream!

Will this have system level parametric EQ?

Android. That’s a deal breaker

It's android 10. Should have a decent operating life. Value for money, the m11 Plus and implementation is a fabulous entry point for mid-fi.
I have the m11 pro which has a nice selection of I/O, drives all IEM's well and even some easy to drive dynamic driver cans to a reasonable level.

If it's a non-android TOTL player being contemplated, the options are usually well beyond the m11 price point. This is incorporating some of the latest tech and I was very impressed with the M11 until I upgraded.

I understand they don't want to use a Pro Plus name like apple but M11 Plus sounds like its positoned in between the M11 and M11 Pro rather than being an upgrade of the M11 Pro.

M11 Pro LE would have sounded much better

This is our first DAP using Android 10.

If the the third party app does not have own decoding library, there will be no SRC when using it. And the FiiO Music app will not have SRC.

No.

Yes, and there is a newly added 4.4mm balanced line-out.

Line output specifications(A-wt.)
THD+N	＜0.00079%（1kHz/10kΩ）	SNR	＞121dB
Frequency Response	5Hz~90kHz (-5dB）	Noise floor	＜1.7μV
Channel Separation	＞105dB（1kHz/10kΩ）	Line level	2V

Balanced line output specifications(A-wt.)
THD+N	＜0.00042%（1kHz/10kΩ）	SNR	＞124dB
Frequency Response	5Hz~90kHz（-5dB）	Noise floor	＜2μV
Channel Separation	＞114dB（1kHz/10kΩ）	Line level	2.61V

Best regards

Having the M15, it is a difficult choice regarding the sound.
But having a faster SoC and Android 10 would make the Quality of Life better. I often have trouble with the M15 considering how slow it can be or wifi issue.
Also, the buttons on the M15 are all but intuitive, I welcome the change on the M11 Plus.

Waiting for the M17, even if this rock won't be a DAP you carry everyday in your pocket.

This looks amazing!

Does the DAP have Google Play Store support for installing custom apps?
