Most important feature to implement, for many, will simply be ‘UAC1 mode support’ OR playstation/switch console support.
I nearly bought another m11+ to get an ‘untouched’ (by the authorities) version of the ‘out of box’ software state. My player, prior to going to the google store/ installing the fiio app for apple music, ran well. (for when the outboard DAC is better served a DSD format)īump: anyone getting fiio dsd convert working on latest firmware? (via coax?) It seemed the FiiO DSD convert only worked via COAX, where as the HF player DSD convert only outputs via USB (both also work via analogue outputs, but the usefulness for such a feature is MAGIC for ‘outboard DACs), and given I purchased the M11+ due to the dual femtosecond clocks/pcb design and chip layout (including shielding and power isolations), the notion of having the M11+ be a ‘you beaut’ (aussie slang meaning ‘brilliant/excellent//beautiful’ et al) transport, isn’t happening at present. The only reason I had to put my M11+ ‘on the net’ was to use playstore and get my licensed ‘HF player’ software on the unit. Whether the system needs a ’bridge’ to let USB digital output to ‘mirror’ via COAX output, (and/or ‘vice versa’/the ‘other way around’, with COAX output ‘mirrorable’ via USB) or ‘more effort into’ the present setup (for on the fly DSD convert), something may need be done. It is an advertised aspect of these players, and the implementation needs a little more love. If you are looking for the best music player for Android, such features as a tag editor, fast library searching, home and lock screen widgets, and customization.
My number one thing for FiiO, right now, would be the DSD ‘on the fly’ conversion. Poweramp music player for Android is compatible with many file formats and offers great options, including a 10-band graphic equalizer, lyrics for songs, numerous playlist formats, etc. for me the ‘global DSD convert’ IS a feature than needs attending, presently.
I do understand the benefit of FiiO implementing these things, for us, as we get to use them in ‘pure music mode’ and ‘global EQ’, perhaps difficult in an MQA world (don’t know/don’t care), would be handy. Of course many users will demand ‘good EQ’, and so this is a large point of contention.Īchieving ‘flatline sound’ can be essential, so this means much to our hobby. True, I’m not really an EQ person, and I do have ‘HF Player‘ (android media playback software with ‘quite a few’ advanced functions) that brought incredible EQ to market (one of their strongest sales ‘bullet points’ for using said software) and I have never used it once. In settings, a menu option to flip volume buttons AND another tickbox to ‘only do so when screen inverted’, would be ‘ super easy to add’, and shouldn’t be hard to implement. when we work this way, the rotation isnt a factor, and I was never concerned for ‘which button was which’. I feel human learning assigns ‘volume down’ as the button closer to the middle of the unit, with ‘volume up’ closer to the outer edge. Whilst I ‘liked’ the first comment drawing awareness to the lack of inverted volume controls when the screen is flipped -having used my unit exclusively in ‘flipped screen mode’ (tbf mostly as a transport, not needing the volume slider at all) for the last few of weeks, I feel this isn’t a ‘biggie’ (big demand/want).
