I'm in a bit of a dilemma since I got back into portable audio a few months back. I purchased a Fiio m11 cause couldn't find the dp-x1a I wanted. Now a week ago I picked up the AK se100. I can't decide which to keep. Here are the cons and pros of each.
Fiio M11
Pros
Dual SD card slot
Ability for blackplayer or any I choose as I prefer having sorted by genre, then artists, then albums.
2.5mm, 3.5, and 4.4mm
Cons
Doesn't sound as good as se100
Sometimes I had glitches with both SD card slots.
Battery life on balanced sucks.
It's more neutral than the AK, not as full sound and highs can be painful and peaky.
Wifi sucks on it.
No real internal storage.
Ak se100
Pros
Sounds amazing
Battery life is much better
Wifi is better
Build quality is more premium, built better, looks better and feels better.
2.5 and 3.5
128gb internal and micro SD card currently at 1tb.
USB 3 charging and transfer. So much faster and instantly updates while transfering.
Cons
Crappy sorting in stock player. Can't sort how I like.
Locked down system. Very few apps I can install. No options for blackplayer or a player of my choice.
Only one microsd slot
No 4.4 balanced.
So give me your thoughts.
