Fiio M23 review: This mid-range digital audio player has all the right upgrades

The M23 retains the same design as the M11S, but comes with AKM's latest DACs, giving it a noticeable advantage. You also get a new Desktop Mode that's ideal if you intend to plug it into another source, and the neutral sound allows your audio gear to shine. The interface is still fluid, and you get Roon integration as well as a lot of custom extras, but it runs Android 10 out of the box, and the volume slider is annoying to use. Overall, the M23is a solid choice if you need the extra features, but at $200 less, the M11S is still a noteworthy choice.
