These will be my impressions overall with the M11’s sound signature when used with all the headphones and iems I threw at the M11. My R5 most definitely suffers from this depending on where I’m at.

Zero!!! I was happy that with bluetooth and wifi turned on, I got zero EMI noise. I found this to be very good battery life with how much power it pushes out wired. It lasted about 1-2 days when running wired headphones and 2-4 days off bluetooth. I got pretty good battery life out of the M11. I really enjoy poweramp however and like the layout and UI over any other apps I’ve tried. The FiiO stock music app is fine and I didn’t run into any issues the few times I used it.

Running apps like Tidal, soundcloud and poweramp are all extremely quick and I never saw any slow downs and I’m fairly happy even if I prefer a slightly newer version of android be installed on the device. I do hope going forward more midrange SoC options become the normal for DAPs but time will tell.

I don’t think there is anything out as quick in the sub $1000 range as of this writing. Still struggles running chrome with multiple pages open but I’ve seen worse performance from DAPs that cost more. The M11 is very quick for a DAP in this price range.

With a firmware update the play store and google services are installed by default which really opens up the M11 and had this change not been done I would've considered the lack of the play store to be a con. Having written this review well after the release of the M11, a few big changes happened since. This caused weird issues like no youtube app or any other apps that rely on google services being installed. When I first got the M11 you had to use aftermarket app stores since the M11 wasn’t certified for google play services. I feel this is already outdated but this isn’t so much FiiOs fault and more of a samsung SoC issue. The M11 comes stock with android 7 installed. While multiple colors would have been great, I dig the gold and black accents. The device itself has a nice quality feel and I love the little volume wheel and its click noises. The front screen comes with a glass screen protector pre installed. I think the M11 is quite the looker! The glass on both the front and back look fantastic. IPhone X outputting via bluetooth to the M11, line out to the SMSL SU-8, Ikko OH10, Campfire Audio IO, ADV M5-5D, HEDD HEDDphone, LCD2C and Dan Clark Audio Aeon flow “RT” closed. For me this was perfect as I’m still working on converting over to 4.4mm so I could make use of all my balanced cables. The FiiO M11 also makes use of 2.5mm and 4.4mm pentaconn balanced jacks and a normal 3.5mm single ended jack. Having only owned a Hiby R5 when it came to recent DAPs, I wasn’t sure what possible improvements I may see over the R5 but I still bought the M11 based off early reviews claiming how fast it was compared to other DAPs on the market.

When I first saw the FiiO M11 I was instantly in love with the looks and huge screen.
