What does a $500 Music player get you? FiiO's M11S Review - Portable, car and Bluetooth Audio

It is very difficult for me to understand how the $179 DAPs are supposed to be soooo much better than normal MP3 players.
Then these $500 ones are supposed to provide an even better sound.
But they also sell $3,500 ones!
This is ridiculous.
How much more clear can a song get??!!

Does it work with the earbuds Bose ultra ? Thx

What does $500 get me, absolutely nothing I've been struggling to get it connected to my home WIFI.

So, the M11s is slower by one hour than the M11ESS.

Ive had to put music on my old a55 walkman, pull the card and put it in the m11s to get any music on the player.

A great player but it won't connect to Mac, It would be nice to find a site that I could buy, and download to it. Ive bought a load of music but haven't been able to put any of it on the player.

Lol why would you want a camera on a DAP?

Na.. M15 witbout S is way better.. Try it pals.. Peace!

How many hours of playback/burn-in do you run on any DAP before making a sound review?

Buying a good music players these days is like choosing a water brand. Yeah its slightly different. But its still way overpriced for what you get. My S9+ is indistinguishable from my Hiby. In a blind test you will never hear the difference.

Am new to the DAC life this video was very informative

hey it seems like u know about this hi res devices what other optios would you recommend under $500?

A comparison of Plus ESS and the A&K SR35 would be appreciated.

Hi. Exist a one click app to transfer some flac to Android smartphone to Fiio player m9 or similar (playstore app) that save in sd card ?

Thx u

How easy is it to transfer music to the device from my PC and create playlists?

ive been coming back to your videos lately friend. this one is top tier audiophile content. keep on trucking

Can this be set to USB mode like the m11 to connect to a Mac and appear as an external drive ? That’d be very useful for transferring all my ALAC tunes to the DAP.

How compare with hiby r6 gen3?

Does this sound good with Sony xm4 bluetooth earbud? Does this have concert hall sound effect?

Did you version came with the bootloader unlocked? mine did and I can't lock it back now...

How does the M11s compare to an Astell&Kern Kann Alpha? For someone that doesn't pretend to use it with 1k usd iems/headphones (maybe a he6se).
Is it worth the 2x price difference?

Where did you get the case and screen protector for it? Thanks!

size of this thing makes it bad.

can I install Whatsapp on this device?

I bought the M11 Plus about a week ago, I was actually thrilled it does not come with a camera! This is amusing to me, because I grew up when CELLphones were just getting cameras and I remember how heavily that feature was promoted, I remember people going out of their way to find a phone WITHOUT a camera (like my Dad) because at the time some places would not allow you to bring in a camera, imagine the headaches because everyone and their Mother's cellphone was now coming with a camera.

But now that you mention the QR codes, yeah having no camera makes that impossible, but I love treating this as a offline device without a camera.

Are replacement batteries available when inevitably the battery will need to be replaced? If so what is the procedure for replacing?

Hi, you didn't say what the Cradle to the Grave track was in the description.

How does it compare to Fiio Btr7 in term of sound quality? Thanks

Fiio FH9 review please

Would going to from BTR5 to m11s be sound quality upgrade?

Hi, enjoyed your video and the informative content. Question: I am looking for a DAP around this price range that can play through usb connection in a car? I realise Bluetooth is the normal way to access your music in this scenario but I am not able to utilise 2 devices through Bluetooth (phone and another device), I need to keep my phone connected via Bluetooth. Would appreciate your advice. Cheers, MG 🎶

The notion that a dap should be used with a headphone at a certain price point is just so asinine I don’t know what to say. This is the idiotic bs people hate about audiophiles. More money doesn’t mean better but I guess there’s gotta be suckers out there who fall for this.

Just wondering can the Sennheiser HD 660s which is a 150 impedance headphone with a sensitivity of 104 db/1V be able to get enough volume from the Fiio M11s.

I love your reviews and have been following you for years. Please can you help me decide on which DAP to get between Fiio M3X PLUS, FIIO M3XS or Shanling M3x Ultra and then I can finally make a purchase.

Im convinced. Im buying one

Do you know why i have problemnto connect with bluetooth my sony wh-1000xm4 and my buds 2? The sound is soooooo bad

Are you interested in reviewing SHANLING M0 Pro?

You know , it's not easy to find a channel on the audiophile theme that's it not boring , without rude and stupid people and with enjoyable content and nice communication, I think you nailed , comgrats

Thanks Amos for your quality content. Love my M11 plus ltd.

Thanks

My cellphone has an audio jack, so....

I'm reeeeeeeally looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the FH9. I have a pair and I'm crazy about them, especially paired with my Shanling M6 Ultra.

I like your review on m11s. Have a question does fiio music work better than stream app

Can you test the Nw-wm1am2 one day ? Thank you 🙏

how does this compare to the cayin ru6 in tonality and soundstage?

can you review the ibasso dx170 and compare it with the fiio m11s?

Hi sir, Is spending more money to buy Fiio M11 plus ess edition worth?
