Yep a big difference, I do not need balanced out and find the sony walkman's too expensive really, this is a very good price and with Android 13....... I am tempted again :)

I keep telling myself not to buy any more audio players, but I may go against that and buy this player.

A video full of apologies lol It's okay, considering that professional audio reviewer may not necessarily know about the changes in the volume control of the M300, this is a mistake in our promotion. We will also improve on this!Hope everyone likes M300! David, thank you for the review!Also to @ozboylu

It takes a big man to admit they were wrong.😊 I'll definitely pick it up sometime soon now.

Good for you to acknowledge the issue, although what puzzles me is that I think I have read DAP reviews in your web page. Anyway, a lot of smartphone reviews praising brittle glass backs as a "pro" instead of reliable and sometimes even better looking plastic, has made me aware that reviews have to be considered from the perspective of persons that necessarily have to spend a limited time with the device so some things slip.

About the output jack, I think Shanling almost nails it with their M0 Pro. If only they're using a solid L plug adapter for their proprietary 3,5mm bal to the standard female 4,4mm bal included in the box and slapping the extra cost to the final price quietly. They can then keep the form factor while pleasing both the normies and the balanced crowd. What a missed opportunity.

bravo, real man should admit that's he is wrong and apologize, cheers mate

I picked up the R3 2 and while I do like the device I have one little issue with Hiby Music app. I am a fan of shuffling songs by genre or artist and I have yet to find a way to do that without spending lots of time creating playlists. If that one change was made I would love the device. Pertinent to M300 because I’m sure the app functions the same.

I was considering getting the R3 II but you are stuck with Hiby Music on that device and I am a big PowerAmp fan and have been using that on my Fiio M6 for many years now. Had tried out the Hiby Music app on the M6 but didn't care for the interface.

Es de sabio cambiar de opinión, yo recientemente compre mi m300 y me encanta, excelente calidad de sonido, estoy feliz con el m300.

Can i download loseless music from apple music on this m300? I only listen streaming from apple music, or maybe r6 III would be a better choice? Thanks a lot

I cannot get podcasts to play on Spotify. Any suggestions? Have you had any issues playing podcasts? I have a paid Spotify account.

That's fine Thank you for coming back to it ❗️😊 My maybe stupid question is if I can use it like a phone and connect usb C dongle with it or not ❓🙋‍♂️

Thanks for the update. Just wondering what a balanced headphone output does for the sound quality.... thanks.

Balanced output gives you higher output power but also a cleaner signal and better instrument separation (but it's very minimal with short IEM/headphone cables).

Hello, how can i connect the hiby to stereo receiver? The hiby doesn’t support line out from the 3.5 mm jack. Maybe using the USB-C port?

@@PrimeAudioReviews I actually got it and have almost 400gb of music on now, very neat little device, feels solid and responsive, sound as any other audio interface I ever used, nothing out of the ordinary, which is a good thing. I decided to get one when I got fed up with Spotify removing songs I love, or even worse censoring the shit out of them (Russian bands were forced to due to anti drugs laws), so this way I have all my favourite music with me, unaltered and in full quality.

Just keep the 3.5 which keeps all the powaaaa! No need to split between 4.4.

Good. A big ol' Fiio can stay stay at home for IEM, headphone or connected to full size components. Just ordered M300 for real portable use to replace SONY NWA-105, several years old and hardy used at all, For its' poor battery life and SONY way of managing files into playlist thru sync with their software on PC.

Does this support Line Out from the 3.5 jack?

HiBy R3 II has a similar price but sounds better IMO. M300 has no balanced output but it has Android so you can load apps on it.

The R4 is going to make this look like a quibble, one way or the other. It's $250 USD and it eats this thing.

The Surfans F28 is about the same size (but not Android), any chance of a review, the power has to be better?

To be fair, for a product like this they should ensure that media volume was maxed by default. This will certainly bamboozle some end users as well.

It's so you can notch the system volume down 3db to avoid clipping at high volume

I had to return two different M300 units because when using either Spotify or Tidal, the volume rockers would not work while the apps were open and running. Though it will work if the apps are minimized or closed.... not good.

hello there! How is the bluetooth performance on this device? Can you usee it as a receptor for a smart tv or PC, just like the qudelix 5k or fiio BTR5? Also, is it possible to use the M300 as a usb dac for a PC?

I am right now considering the M300 or the shanling M3X. Wich one do you guys think Its a better all round device to use as music player (flac files and spotify), Bluetooth receiver and USB DAC?

I don't see it as overpriced considering even budget phones (New) are around $200 and most of those don't have a Snapdragon processor in them or even a processor with equivalent processing power. Also, good luck finding a phone smaller than 6 inches. Coming from my Fiio M6, this is a great upgrade! It honestly pisses me off that Samsung and most others have decided to stop putting microsd card slots in their phones as I would rather have just used my S21 as my DAP so to have an all-in-one device but it is what it is.
