a FiiO | FiiO M11Plus LTD with tuning
, if the time goes back for 3 years and comes to 2018, you will find a bunch of Qualcomm Xiaolong 660+4G ram +64G rom mid-range mobile phones, labeled with cost-effective labels, to leapfrog and challenge Xiaolong 845 through various optimizations! Today, when the time comes to 2021, Guozhuan (domestic HiFi player) has gradually increased the number of Qualcomm Xiaolong 660+4G ram players in order to meet the needs of more and more users, even spreading from the high-end flagship to the mid-range player at the beginning. Finally, after using the Exynos7872 platform for many years, FiiO, the industry's price cancer, is also starting to adopt Qualcomm Xiaolong platform, and the first mid-range player M11 Plus LTD has adopted Xiaolong 660+4G ram +64G rom memory configuration......
FiiO has upgraded the product packaging system. The outer packaging of M11 Plus LTD has many things in common with FH5s. The front product drawing is matched with brand Logo and product model, the side is the product model and brand logo respectively, the back is the blessing of various important technologies, and the dark lines and indentations full of the outer packaging highlight the main control platform and DAC model carried this time!
M11 Plus LTD are quite simple, with only the data line and the 3.5 to rotate on the same axis and some pieces of paper. The instructions are quite thick. This is also the first FiiO player that leaves the factory and wears a leather case with a tempered glass film. It doesn't need to dry the list. There is no sticker on the screen. This is not FiiO!!!
last year's AKM fire and the epidemic for the audio industry is undoubtedly a huge blow, each can only eat the depth of inventory (large family) and rely on external high-priced purchase (rich country) chips to continue the long-developed products, some basic model chips several times are considered routine operations. The two AK4497EQ carried by the M11 Plus LTD are the former flagship of AKM, which uses the same DAC as the M11 Pro, but it can be regarded as a luxury for now. AK4497EQ, as a chip that has been announced to be discontinued by the government, it is really one less chip, which will be FiiO's last product with this type of chip.
also retains the same THX-AAA 78 x2 configuration of M11 Pro on M11 Plus LTD, THX-AAA is not a chip or a module, but an amplification technology, an achromatic audio amplifier, that is, amplifying signals without increasing sound dye. Under the AM3D module of FiiO's Q5s and on M11 Pro, everyone has realized the improvement brought by THX-AAA 78. Even many friends think that thanks to the blessing of this technology, the tuning of M11 Pro will be more pleasing to ears than its flagship M15!
equipped with Qualcomm Xiaolong 660 platform, M11 Plus LTD has also become the first portable player in the industry to use Android 10 (please stop for those who say that all mobile phones are Android 11); In addition, FiiO has also made in-depth customization of the system, redrawing up to 137 icon, including interactive interface, etc. In particular, more player-friendly settings have been added to the setting interface. For me, the biggest improvement of the configuration of Xiaolong 660 + Android 10 on M11 Plus LTD is that FiiO finally supports Apple Music. At the time when Apple Music is about to usher in "non-destructive" recently, there is no doubt that Feiao has just caught up!
M11 Plus LTD also makes people shine at the moment in design. As the sixth generation design of FiiO, the brand-new honeycomb shape is also reflected in the exposed "M17" (no one will say respect as long as they are not blind this time). The keys of the fuselage are all designed with hexagonal honeycomb structure, and the power key is matched with breathing light (the effect can be set in the system); The diamond cutting texture back plate on the back of the fuselage also appeared on a domestic player for the first time, but the beautiful and greasy back cover, after you put on the sleeve......
did not have a potentiometer this time. Instead, it was a touch button integrated panel to support pressing and touching to adjust the volume. When I first touched it at Chengdu exhibition, I was very interested in this volume control, and I could even play all the time. In the system, this module can be set, even locked and unlocked, and the volume can be increased or decreased after sliding, and if you feel that it is not accurate enough, you can directly increase or decrease by pressing. High-precision digital analog potentiometer has already appeared on M15, and this module appeared on M11 Plus LTD, in addition to bringing more interesting interactivity and more accurate volume control, the biggest advantage is that it can leave more space for the battery, and 6000mAh battery provides longer battery life for the player; In the battery management settings of the system, there can also be accurate use time prompts; m11 Plus LTD supports fast charging, which can fill 67% power in 27 minutes, which can reasonably solve the anxiety of portable HuFi power......
M11 Plus LTD is not FiiO! What should be the sound of FiiO in the impression? "The parameters are full of wood, the emotion will not be tuned, and the digital flavor will not be strong": The above is the inherent stereotype of FiiO in the past. In fact, how many people have really played the series of FiiO M11 Pro/Q5s/M15/FA9/FD5/FH5s seriously?
FiiO is also HuFi! This is my first impression of M11 Plus LTD. After listening to the machine in my hand, some friends actually said it looked like a mountain spirit? However, I think the sound is between Wifiman and Cayin. The proper one is HuFi!!!
HuFi
in fact, the M11 Plus LTD machine is still going in the direction of analysis, but with a slight taste and fluffy blessing, the sound will become more fresh and active. in addition, the THX-AAA 78 blessing will have a particularly strong sense of space. UM Mason V3 + three-frequency equalization, the sound is straightforward and slightly moist, and at the same time has a good sound field performance. It is a ruler I use to explore the sound bottom of the player.
M11 Plus LTD balance port has abundant energy sense in medium and high frequency. The extension of high frequency part is very good, which can fully display the texture of instrumental music. The human voice is full and powerful without being too close to the ear to cause the feeling of face. The sound field is open, the horizontal direction will be slightly wider than the vertical direction, with clear marginal feeling and certain stereoscopic feeling (up and down); The low frequency part has moderate sense, full and solid, diving has enough depth, and the response speed of rebound is also very reasonable. The extremely low frequency part has a suitable sense of quantity, which can create the necessary momentum of the appearance surface very properly, and will not overdo it and cause the head to blow or burn off. The human voice is almost regarded as a killing. The female voice with good high pitch is not exciting, and the male voice has the right thickness. It will not demonize some singers of style, which can restore the characteristics of various types of singers very well.
the sound contrast and balance under a single port will become a little fleshy after narrowing a circle of sound field, there will be a certain loss in the texture of instrumental music and the permeability of human voice, and the extension of both ends will have a slight feeling of not stretching enough, but the single-end tuning will appear very consistent when dealing with some "dry, cold, hard and thin thorns" plugs.
M11 Plus LTD balance port has done a good job in emphasizing instrumental texture and vocal details. The two ends extend well and give people a transparent feeling. The tuning somewhat similar to AK's delicate style strengthens the texture and dynamic part. If you must follow the flagship hard steel, then the overall fullness and momentum of the sound need to be strengthened (looking forward to M17); the single port is to please the ear with a sound that emphasizes the sense of music. If there is no balance mouth, it is also a good choice for popular vocals, very HuFi!
M11 Plus LTD is not only the choice of mid-range models, but also the first choice of a standby machine when most flagship machine products are closed systems with poor streaming media support. Then the performance when driving some high-priced plugs will be a point that some players care about:
some matching sharing
NG Khaso + PW 1950sKhaos low-frequency meat but not paste are well displayed. The extremely low-frequency part creates a very comfortable atmosphere and the sound field is open. Distortion control is good, and the human voice with good treble is analyzed in place and not stimulated, and the human voice with strength system can also properly show the texture and thickness of human voice. The performance of pure music is slightly blurred in the sense of enchantment, and the texture of instrumental music is; the short board lies in the lack of the depth of the longitudinal sound field and some advanced sense of the overall sound.
Jaben Oriolus oriole + Jaben W88 |sound field is not particularly large, but the advantage is that the human voice is centered and clear, and the delicate performance of the mountain oriole's human voice can be felt very comfortably. The human voice does not have ears and the details are in place, which can make people "listen to songs without burning their brains" for a long time. Small and solo symphonies such as piano, violin, cello and various orchestras have obvious blessing effects under the mountain oriole, details and characteristics are in place and not exciting; because of the delicacy, the word "atmosphere" is the short board of this combination.
Jaben Oriolus Black Oriole + Jaben W83 |, this is a set of instrumental music combination. When listening to some popular music with good accompaniment, it is very easy to be distracted by the accompaniment part. The human voice will be relatively forward and have a feeling of sticking to the ear and face, which is more suitable for those who like female poison to lick the screen. The drum beat is clean and accurate. The overtones and residual sound of instrumental music are very natural. The key point is that, there is a very top feeling that the sound field is not the best among the stoppages at hand, but the most emotional listening to instrumental music. In terms of details, what else can a 2015 plug have excessive requirements?
use Android? No matter how good the sound is used for a long time, it will gradually be rejected due to the restrictions of the music library/operation/usage scenarios, etc. Therefore, more and more players are using Android system to solve the pain points of users' usage scenarios. As FiiO, which has been deeply cultivated for a long time, it still gives the configuration of a bucket machine on M11 Plus LTD, the blessing of LDAC/aptX/aptX HD enables M11 Plus LTD to almost adapt to the mainstream high-definition bluetooth transmission protocol, and can also play streaming media as DAC of mobile phone/computer without network. even FiiO has made a separate interface to facilitate user operation, including bluetooth reception/USB DAC/Airplay/pure tone mode selection. However, MQA's eight-fold expansion can also match more streaming media app, of course, Apple Music support for YYDS must be mentioned!
USB DAC:this interface can clearly display the power, sampling rate and volume, the computer cannot adjust the volume. after using the FooBar2000, the same track will have a certain difference in listening feeling compared with that played by the machine. the thickness of the human voice will be strengthened, and the moisture of the sound will also be improved. However, after switching to VOX, the sound instantly pulls the hip to a higher level......
Bluetooth LDAC:needs to enter the Bluetooth receiving interface before the transmitter can search for M11 Plus LTD. The player will adapt according to the transmission protocol supported by the mobile phone. The iQOO in hand supports LDAC, and the player also displays LDAC. In the setting, the appropriate transmission protocol can be selected according to the specific conditions of use. After using Apple Music on the mobile phone for playback, it is obvious that there is still a significant gap in the fullness of the sound compared with the local playback of the player.
Pure Tone Mode:didn't think metaphysics was so much at first, but after sitting down carefully AB, he found that the pure tone mode would be cleaner than the sound in Android mode. The feeling in the high-pitched area of the human voice was the most obvious. Android mode had a grainy sense of breaking, while pure tone mode had no such breaking performance at all.
Apple Music:, although the current sound source is AAC with slag code rate, it is true that Apple has a set of algorithms, and the sound is neutral and tough. In addition, the daily recommendation is really very appetizing to me, which directly leads me to stop all the members of QQ Music/Internet Cloud Music and listen to the damaged Apple Music at ease. However, as soon as the news that Apple was about to go online without damage recently came out, it seemed to explode, even people who don't know what AM YYDS is without iPhone can come out and give you a lot of crackling popular science, and Feiao officials also said that they would optimize the use of Apple Music for M11 Plus LTD after evaluation!!!
FiiO used the M11 sequence number and put it on M11 Plus LTD, which indicates that this is a mid-range player, and the price of 4999 yuan (aluminum alloy)/5999 yuan (stainless steel) is really too wicked as ever!!! However, FiiO's official so-called "limited edition of aluminum alloy is limited to 6000 units worldwide and limited edition of stainless steel is limited to 1000 units worldwide" is simply using another order of magnitude to tease friends (indeed, it is wicked),AK4497EQ there is too much stock to share a sense of superiority? But it is said that these 7000 sets are not enough for distribution, EXM? Are they all so cruel now? However, the configuration and sound of M11 Plus LTD are simply redefining the middle end with such a wicked price!
brush a B station, Youku chase after TVB, Tencent & Aiqiyi chase after the play, everything has become more HiFi! It is not impossible to eat chicken and pesticide without pursuing high frame rate and extreme restraint! Even HiFi......
if your recent budget is just around 4-5000, then I really suggest you can buy it with your eyes closed, and if you want to configure another spare machine for your flagship, then really buy it with your eyes closed!!! Finally: Feiao is really sweet and beautiful!!!
