leather case

M11 Plus was equipped with leather case and toughened film when it was taken out of the box, so the machine itself could not be seen at first sight.

once upon a time, when we were still lamenting the appearance design and manufacturing process of Ellie player, we did not know that Feiao had quietly caught up with it......

power key sliding panel custom key

, in terms of appearance design, the most surprising point is that the sliding panel of M11 Plus controls the volume, abandons the volume adjustment design of the traditional roller potentiometer, and chooses the dual-purpose volume adjustment design of sliding panel and keys. It means that when adjusting the volume of M11 Plus, sliding adjustment or key adjustment can be used (touch screen adjustment can also be used in the system). The feedback hand feeling of sliding panel is excellent. There is an illusion of feeling feedback when using ipod turntable, which is the feedback feeling of scale sound when operating, so it can be seen that Feiao has spent a lot of effort on this volume sliding panel (probably due to the accumulation of research results of early Feiao players X3 and X5). The feel is the same, but unlike the turntable operation of the ipod, the M11 Plus slides up and down, which is more in line with the overall design.

Play button hold switch

Feiao M11 Plus, it also took into account the "accidental touch problem" that caused the volume to explode to the ears (when the sliding panel is actually used, a single sliding will not increase the volume excessively), so it is added on the other side The "HOLD switch" is added, and the sliding panel function will be disabled after the switch is turned on. If you don't want to "cut across the board", you can also turn on the locking function in the settings and disable the sliding panel function when locking the screen. For such usage habits, players have a high degree of customization of the machine, which can be set according to personal habits.

Backplane

on the back plate of the fuselage, Feiao uses diamond-like cutting texture as the back cover, which can create three-dimensional feeling, angular feeling and line feeling at different angles.

API

Feiao M11 Plus interface is as usual "I want it all". From left to right, it is 3.5mm single-ended (supporting LO and coaxial output), Type-C port (supporting USB3.0 and 27W fast charging), 2.5mm balance and 4.4mm balance (supporting LO output), which can be described as fully functional.

2. hands-on experience

I take my personal "player usage habits" as the starting point for sharing, the sound source is mainly streaming media and digital albums.

I bought an Android player long ago, which is Anqiao's DPX1. It can only use soft solution when listening to songs using streaming media software, while hard solution needs to use the audio playback software provided by the player. When using Feiao M11 Plus, it supports hardware decoding the audio of third-party streaming media software and can exert the decoding power of dual 4497 chips.

uses the Xiaolong 660 main control module and the M11 Plus LTD of the Android 10 operating system. In actual use, the page and software are switched smoothly, and the sliding operation is basically the same as the mobile phone. The factory comes with its own Google framework, and in its own Feiao market application, you can download all the mainstream streaming music software on the market, helping users save the steps of downloading to Google Store, which is extremely well received. Moreover, M11 Plus LTD also supports the installation of Apple Music software, which is currently the hottest. After some software installation and use, the overall experience is quite good.

TIDAL

TIDAL is one of several streaming media software that I often use. It is inconvenient to use it normally by hanging a ladder. TIDAL mainly pushes MQA format audio. Currently, there are fewer devices that support hardware decoding MQA format audio, but M11 Plus supports global MQA 8x expansion. I personally think that the sound quality of TIDAL will be slightly inferior to that of Qobuz, but thanks to the more TIDAL users, the function of "recommending the same type of music" and the ranking function will be more accurate and more suitable for users.

When I use TIDAL, I usually buy a one-month member account on TB, then throw it every month, and change the account next month to continue listening. The advantage is to save money, while the disadvantage is that when you hear your favorite album, you can only save it and collect it through screenshots, because the favorites in your account are equivalent to "emptying" after the month is finished.

Qobuz

Quobuz is also one of several streaming media software that I often use. It is very convenient to listen directly without opening a ladder (a ladder is required when registering an account or downloading the software). Quobuz and Sony mora unanimously focus on HiRes format audio. Personally, I think Quobuz sound source is indeed the best, but the high cost is bound to narrow its audience, and fewer users will easily lead to some commonly used ranking functions becoming less useful. Therefore, my habit is to look at the content of the rankings from other software, and then search for specific albums from Quobuz to listen.

Quobuz, I drive a family car with several friends. The average person is about 300 per year. Although I can also use the monthly selling account number like TIDAL, the monthly selling unit price is too expensive. The sum of the monthly selling year is no different from the year of the package. In this way, the account can be used for a long time, and the music albums you like to listen to can be well collected and kept.

Apple Music

speaking of streaming media software, of course, you can't miss Apple Music, which has been relatively popular recently. The detailed classification list and the ranking of popular music that keep pace with the times, as well as the excellent software experience coupled with the lossless format audio source to be supported, constitute Apple Music. Whether a player supports Apple Music may also become within the scope of purchase considerations. After M11 Plus supports Apple Music, it has improved the experience of using all streaming media software. (The previous M11 Pro does not support Apple Music)

Apple Music Apple users basically have subscriptions. Apple Music in M11 Plus can be used directly by logging into Apple ID. The price of 10 yuan for one month will be cheaper if there is a family car subscription.

NetEase Cloud on the left and QQ Music on the right

as for these domestic streaming media software, such as netease cloud, QQ music and so on, we must often use it at ordinary times. I will not elaborate on it. after all, it is not HiFi at all (funny)... just listen to it and the software is easy to use. it is also good to occasionally listen to fan music or cover songs you see in China......

M11 Plus's own music playback software

M11 Plus's own music playback software is also very complete, the interface logic is also very clear, and the degree of customization is very high. At the same time, five working modes are added for users to choose and switch: "Android mode", "pure tone mode (reducing interference from other applications)", "Bluetooth receiving mode (mobile phone as turntable audio source)", "USB DAC mode" and "AirPlay mode (matching iphone users)" and other column functions.

music sources are usually HiRes albums purchased with netizens in mora, and occasionally Krypton's new digital albums by several favorite singers. However, due to the frequent plugging of the TF card between the player and the computer, the transmission efficiency will be limited by the quality of the card. M11 Plus uses the C port of the USB 3.0, which saves a lot of time and operation when transmitting new albums.

this is also the reason why fewer and fewer people participate in the joint purchase and turn to use streaming music software. Streaming media has a huge music library and passable sound quality, thus allowing you to get rid of the traditional operation of download and transmission. Times have changed......

3. summary

M11 Plus, which has a 6000mAh battery and supports fast charging, becomes a mobile hot spot when listening to music outside. Moreover, the sound of Feiao player has undergone earth-shaking changes since M15 and M11 Pro. I still remember that when I first listened to X3/X5/X7, the sound of Feiao player was also nicknamed by players as "no tuning", just like the sound of "plain boiled water. The current Feiao player has long been "reborn". The M11 Plus, which is warm and durable, has a very high degree of tuning. The sound is warm and the performance of music resolution is not lost. Coupled with the shortage of 4497 chips, M11 Plus, which has not increased its price, is very conscientious......
