Fiio M9 High-Resolution Audio Player review

You probably haven't paid attention to music players since the days of the iPod Nano, but for the high-resolution audio and the hi-fi crowd, they're still a valued and integral part of the music listening process.

And that’s where the Fiio M9 comes in. The M9 is a steady digital audio player (DAP) offering enhanced MP3 playback, along with access to some streaming music. It even runs on Android... albeit with major conditions.

If you're disappointed by your smartphone's inability to play pristine-quality audio, and you’re looking to upgrade, this may be a way to do that.

At $299 (£229, AU$439), the M9 isn’t one of FiiO’s top-end DAPs, but it’s in a sweet spot that delivers solid audio performance for the price. 

To the uninitiated, it harkens back to a not-so-distant past, but to the audiophile crowd, it’s correcting what mobile devices often fail to deliver. Features like AirPlay and USB DAC only add to the value of what comes with it.
