RE: Not For Me It Isn't.........

Posted by John Elison on October 23, 2021 at 10:06:01:
Some people laugh at me because I like FiiO digital players, but they really suit me and they sound absolutely awesome. I just bought the new FiiO M11 Plus LTD and I'm amazed at its sound quality. I connect it directly to the balanced inputs on my Parasound Halo A21 amplifier, which drives my B&W PM1 speakers set up in an ultra near-field listening configuration. I'm very impressed with the sound.

I also own the FiiO M15 Flagship DSD player and it sounds better than my Mytek Brooklyn Bridge. I'll bet its sound quality is competitive with just about any DAC or digital player out there. The M15 has dual top-of-the-line AK4499EQ DAC chips with both balanced and unbalanced analog outputs.

Unfortunately, neither of these players have optical inputs, but I have nothing against Toslink Optical. My HDTV is connected to my Mytek Brooklyn Bridge with Toslink Optical and it works just fine.

Since discovering FiiO a couple of years ago, I use these little FiiO players for all my digital music listening. They'll decode all digital formats up through DSD512 although I don't have any DSD512. Each player uses a 1-TB micro SD memory card to store my digital music files and they play everything up through DSD256 directly from the memory card.
