I am primarly an analog guy but looking at the idea of a portable digital music player, for a few applications:
1. Perhaps on its own, to listen via headphones in my bedroom or while traveling.
2. Connectivity via Bluetooth to my hot tub and my car.
Perhaps there would be others as I use it. The FiiO M11 Pro seems to have received good reviews and it has a few fans on this forum. Curious about the applications that have been found. Also - does it connect via wi-fi as well as Bluetooth?
And an even dumber question - I receive a lot of download cards in LPs I buy - can I then download that music into this player? Is that done via USB? Obviously, I know 0 about this topic. Can you download from Amazon?
And does this use codecs that are superior to MP3?
Thanks in advance for sharing.
Follow Ups:
I love the sweet and very musical sound of my first generation FIIO X3 portable player.
It is my alltime favorite portable because of the sound quality (very
"analog") and I quite happily used it even when sitting at home in the easy chair when my ex bitched at me about loud music.
Very, very musical and non-digital sound. I use it withboth a Grado and PSB M4U-2 phones. With the PSB it is my favorite headphone experience of all time.
If the later geenrations have the same voicing/house sound, I bet you will not find a more analog sounding portable player.
If art interprets our dreams, the computer executes them in the guise of programs!
I love this thing. The app is way better than what I used with a Cambridge CXN and Sonos' Connect.
For sound quality, I'm very surprised to find it loses nothing to my Naim CD player and my modded Marantz CD63SE + Lite Audio Ladder DAC. There are subtle differences, very subtle. But they are differences only, not one sounding better than another.
It works with Bluetooth. With Wi-Fi, it only works for using the app from your phone while the Fiio is not necessarily in your hand.
The FiiO M11 Pro is an excellent digital player. You will need a micro SD memory card to load your digital music onto. I use a 1-TB micro SD card in mine, but you can buy memory cards with less capacity for much less money. I like the high capacity 1-TB memory card so I can store most of my digital library onto my M11 Pro player. It will play all digital formats up through DSD256 directly from the plugin micro SD memory card. It has Wi-Fi connectivity as well as Bluetooth. It also has both balanced analog outputs as well as unbalanced outputs. It has a one-gigabyte touch-screen display to view all your digital music files along with metadata. I keep all my digital music on external USB hard drives connected to my computer and then I copy the music I want to play onto the micro SD card that I plug into my Fiio M11 Pro.
I also bought a FiiO M15 Flagship player, which I use pretty much exclusively nowadays. However, there isn't much difference in sound quality between the two and the M15 costs twice as much. I also have several pair of FiiO earphones for private listening. However, most of the time I simply plug the FiiO into an AUX input on my preamp so I can listen through my home stereo system.
The Fiio player can also stream music from websites like TIDAL, QOBUZ, and Amazon. You can download the apps via Wi-Fi and then you can stream via Wi-Fi. You cannot connect the FiiO to the web with a hardwire LAN connection -- only with Wi-Fi. However, it works just fine for me.

Thanks, very helpful.
