Golden Ears: Fiio M23 Digital Audio Player Review

In comparison to the M11 Plus and M15S, the M23 strikes this impeccable balance between price and performance for what you’re getting. It’s better than the M11 Plus by a sight and doesn’t feel like a major downgrade from the M15S despite being $300 cheaper. The power output, performance, and feature selection are also excellent. My one concern is how well the device will age over time. Will Fiio release an update to a newer Android version? That’s an open question I haven’t heard an answer to yet.

But for now, if you’re looking for the best value in mid-range DAPs, the Fiio M23 is it.
