FiiO M11 review - Fastest and Coolest DAP of the industry

M11 looks like a really high-end DAP to me even if FiiO is not positioning it as such. It has the fastest CPU and SoC out of every DAP on the market, even those shiny 3K DAPs are moving slower and offer less RAM memory. M11 offers three headphone standards and two of them are balanced, it has the best Bluetooth chip capable of aptX-HD, LDAC and HWA and can be a sender or a receiver, has 5Ghz stable Wi-Fi connection and you can install any of your preferred streaming Apps, Tidal Hi-Fi worked as a charm for me, including downloading and off-line listening. M11 lacks only a bigger ROM memory, but makes up for it by offering two microSD card slots.

Sound wise it resembles a high-quality DAC/Amp unit and offers impressive traits as wide soundscape, impressive depth and pin-point accuracy. Transparency and detail retrieval are at higher levels and it can easily replace a desktop DAC if needed. I was driving full-sized headphones on the SE 3.5mm with plenty of headroom left so power wise it is what doctor ordered.

For 450 USD it is a no-brainer and can compete with much pricier offerings from the competition.
