FiiO M11S Hi-Res MP3 Music Player with Dual ES9038Q2M, Android 10 Snapdragon 660, 5.0inch, Lossless DSD/MQA, 5G WiFi/Apple Music/Tidal/Amazon Music 4.4mm 2.5mm/3.5mm/4.4mm Black

So, the Fiio M11S... yeah, I dunno, I'm drawing a blank here. Nothing good nor bad to rant or rave about. The touchscreen looks great, it feels good in the hand, the buttons are all solid performers, battery life is... well, not super great but not bad by any means. The interface and apps it comes with are all decent and easy to operate. Like most high end audio gear, if you have bad recordings this is going to make those flaws all the more brutal. Power wise it seems fine. I've tested the 3.5mm SE output with a pair of Moondrop Starfields and a set of Meze 99s and it seemed to be okay with powering those. Also tested the 4.4mm balanced output with the Starfields and am far more impressed with that. I did test the 4.4mm port with more power hungry headphones and it definitely felt like it was struggling a bit, even with the gain on high and the volume jacked. As for sound quality, I've got no complaints and am generally delighted at how it runs my "out and about" gear, just feel a bit meh that it struggled with my bigger cans. That said I'm running its 3.5 port as an SPDIF coax connection into a better DAC and amp when sitting at home, so this little guy is doing what I want it to. For the money I think it's a solid device and would recommend it for sure.

Comme beaucoup de FIIO, ce M11S, reste dans l'excellence des baladeurs audiophile. Avec un son d'une clarté nette et précise on prend plaisir à ré-écouter ses titres. Pour être vraiment titilleur je dirais qu'il y a quelques fréquences à réajuster avec le très bon égaliseur fourni. Bien sûr la qualité du casque rendra un verdict différent. Moi Sennheiser HD 660s2 disponible sur Amazon. La fluidité est de la partie. Par exemple, Qobuz qui est une lourde application, est bien plus rapide que sur un HiBy. Je conseille vivement ce milieu de gamme !

Zeer ingewikkeld. Voor mij als sporadische gebruiker niet geschikt.

Looking back to little over a decade, we knew FiiO for high quality budget cables of any kind for portable audio, but not much anything else. After the iPod Era ended, iBasso came to the rescue for me with their DX50 / DX90 to save the day, when time came to replace my ailing iPod classic. I was very skeptical about the first FiiO DAP line when they appeared on Amazon, and opted for Onkyo's offerings instead, owning both, the DP-X1A, and the much more portable Rubato (DP-S1). The boxy little Rubato while small, it was too square for convenience, it kept falling out of my pockets and hitting the ground, one too many times. It was discontinued, so I had to look elsewhere for a replacement, and I paused at the M9 back than. The price and it's size made it very attractive, so I gave it a try. FiiO had realized they shot themselves in the foot with the M9, under $250 it was a steal, so they promptly discontinued it. Now time came to replace my Onkyo DP-X1A as well, which was used mainly for streaming. As I was looking through the list of current offerings, FiiO once again grabbed my attention with the M11S. Looking through the specs, I couldn't resist to try it for the price. Compared to the Onkyo DP-X1A, the M11S is space technology. Boots up fast, snappy to access just about anything, managing and accessing my music content is a breeze. Same goes for streaming, using mainly Tune-In. Charging the battery happens fast, the USB-3 interface is a welcome change from the old interface of the Onkyo. I never use my DAPs directly from a computer to load new content, I always remove the SD-card from the players and use adapters to manage the storage, so the speed of the USB interface on the player is irrelevant to me. I mention this, because others complained about the speed of the M11's USB interface. The audio performance is impeccable, I can't see or hear absolutely anything to complain about. I find the sound signature very similar to the DP-X1A, no surprise there, similar basic components, but the implementation by FiiO is a vastly improved version. Velvet smooth texture, very neutral; sparkling treble, well balanced bass, focused on details and resolution of the low end of the spectrum like the rest, as opposed to bloated, sloppy bass. Some reviews mention relatively narrow sound stage, I can't confirm that. I use this DAP for the most in a stationary setup, feeding its signal to a Valhalla-2 headphone amp, which is driving a pair of Sennheiser HD650 cans. So far the only complains I have that I find the gear too addictive, so buyer beware! A second micro-SD slot would have been a welcome addition, but not a deal breaker! FiiO, congrats to your team of engineers, in my book, now you dominate this segment! Coming from cheap cables, you managed to build space shuttes, Kudos!
