so you need a pure DAP just focus on the sound quality ?

Basically yes, linux, no wireless, just best possible audio quality in minimalist device like M3K

I think the only chance there for the short term will be the M5. Too small a screen perhaps to be compared with the M3K, but the BTR3 "embedded" BT features and the M3K capabilities in pure Linux would make it a breeze. And super portable.

@JamesFiiO will the M5 be able to remote control (sorta FiiO Link) the music in the phone? At least for FiiO Music. That would be great, even if it comes later in a FW update.

Dear friend,

We will try to assess this function for M5 first.

Best regards

I recently bought the M9, and I find it to be a great product with great potential. However, there are some things that should be improved to make it really attractive for a broader audience and to really beat the competition. I have presented these suggestions to Fiio fans and had a lot of positive response:

Fiio Music app:
- Needs the ability to edit playlists on the device (i.e. change song order etc.)
- Needs a "play next" option (i.e. to make a song play after the currently playing song)
- When finding an artist through the search function, it should list the artist's albums/songs instead of automatically start playing them.

Sleep mode:
- It seems that the advertised "deep sleep mode" does not work for many users. I.e. the M9 continues to drain the battery when in sleep mode (in my case, from about 80% to about 60-65% over night, with WiFi and Bluetooth turned off). Is this a firmware problem?

With these improvements, I think the M9 will be a much bigger success (complaints about these issues are starting to come in more and more, as I'm sure you've noticed). I would love some kind of response to these requests.

Hello i would like to see if there was any update on the Q5s? I see you can pre order the M11 on BH photo, and that the FH7 is on aliexpress. I wanted to see if the Q5s will be available for pre order soon.

Do you consider to equip players with DAB+ radio, at least for European models? It would be a nice feature to have, especially in cheaper models

Dear friend,
Thank you for your advices.For the edit playlists and play next function,we are already working on it;for the search function,we will improve it in next update.
For the sleep problem,have you install any third-party applications?Some apps will auto start its services in background even you quit it.Maybe you can try to reboot the M9 and do not start any third-party apps to see if it still happens.

Hi @WianFiiO and @JamesFiiO and @FiiO

Some suggestions for the M11 if I may:

> Provide a 'Music Only' mode that optimises the hardware for music playback (like you did for the X5iii).
> Provide a 'Boost' Mode for balanced output power (like you did for the X5iii).
> Allow the home screen of FiiO Music to be configured (for example to show Albums or Folders instead of Recently Played or Most Popular).
> Allow more configuration of FiiO Music appearance (for example how lists are shows, how grids are shown etc.).
> Fix Settings typo ('Audios' should be 'Audio').

Many thanks!

@FiiO @JamesFiiO is there some planned BTR5 unit? Because I thought the M5 "is considered" the BTR3 upgrade, and thus the BTR5 in a way.

Saw this photo around the web and some guy was wondering about the BTR5 so .. is that a real unit in production? Thanks!

EDIT: oh now I found a video.. from some FiiO.. so it's real!?

sorry not, we found that the radio is not so popular among our user.

1, we are considering to add a pure music mode in M11 in the future.
2, it can't be, it is hardware issue.
3, we will consider it.
4, sure.
5, thanks.
