FiiO M11S Portable Audio Player Released
FiiO M11S portable music player boasts dual ES9038Q2M DACs to decode up to 384kHz/DSD256 hi-res audio.
The FiiO M11S portable audio player offers a variety of connectivity options, including 3.5mm single-ended, 2.5mm/4.4mm balanced headphone outputs, and Bluetooth with LDAC, aptX HD, and LHDC Hi-Res. It also supports AirPlay and DLNA streaming.
The M11S sports dual high-performance ES9038Q2M DAC chips and a new-generation amplifier circuit, allowing it to play audio files up to 384kHz/DSD256 with MQA support.
The device runs on the Android 10 operating system and has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor, a 5-inch HD display, and 32GB of onboard storage. More storage comes by way of a micro SD card slot that can support up to 2TB cards. Furthermore, the M11S features a global SRC bypass, meaning music streaming apps such as TIDAL, Qobuz, and Apple Music can be installed to allow listening in full lossless quality.
The new portable player boasts an innovative headphone amplifier circuit developed in collaboration with THX, delivering 670mW of power at 32Ω with a noise floor of 1.9uV.
Equipped with a 14-hour battery life, the M11S has different listening modes for different scenarios. For example, pure Music Mode stops all other applications and focuses solely on music playback, maximising sound quality.
Meanwhile, Bluetooth Receiving Mode enables the M11S to be used as a Bluetooth receiver/amplifier and connect to smartphones and other Bluetooth devices. The USB DAC mode uses the M11S as a DAC when connected to a computer. Finally, AirPlay mode allows the M11S to wirelessly receive audio from iPhone/iPad/Mac.
The FiiO M11S digital audio player is available now priced at £489

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
