Hi Dave, Another great and very detailed info on the Fiio M11's settings. Sir, you are very professional and I know it takes some effort to make a good review and you do it so well.😎 I agree that a bigger ram is better than bigger memory, ram is more important. Thanks Dave for this informative review and I enjoyed watching.🙏🙏💙

Hola cual es la mejor forma de conectarlo al dsp? Gracias

Is the usb used as output when using it as car mode? thanks

Do you know if the Fiio can output audio via USB and still charge at all ? I was hoping to set up a Helix DSP to do automatic source switching between an optical headunit source and a Fiio Coaxial source. But the Helix can only do this it seems with a digital source and a HEC card (unless I used low level rca output from my headunit). I was thinking if I could get a Fiio feeding a usb HEC Card I may be able to have the auto source switching to go back to my headunit for nav prompts/phonecalls when listening to a Fiio. But if I can't also charge the Fiio at the same time I'll have to come up with another solution yet again. Thanks man. Really loving your awesome content on these DAP's and DSP's. You make perfect content 👌!

No, the Hec card won’t charge the FiiO and it won’t sound nearly as good anyway via USB, not even close. The best way to do it when using both optical and coaxial digital is to just use one of the Helix controllers, either the Director or Conductor or one of their other ones depending on your budget and preference and space.

I don’t have coaxial input in my Helix V8 MK 2 . Do have experience using the optical input

Can I access the storage in the FiiO M11S on a computer with Windows 7 Ultimate OS? Do I need to install a driver? Would that work on such an out-of-date Windows OS? I am a newbie on this DAPs stuff. Please help me.

Hey i just bought one today and watched your guide a few times but one thing i wonder about is it normal for the battery to drain really fast when you get it? i think i lost 20% of the battery just using it for about 45 min and setting everything up so i was using it pretty heavily but still is 20% loss normal?

I was never concerned about batteries in DAP’s as I have always just used them in my vehicle or in my office and if it was low I just charged it. I can see if someone was walking around with it or taking it to a gym or whatever then battery life would be a big deal. It’s not really any different from an iPhone 13,14,15 they drain quickly if you’re using it. I have an iPhone 14 for work and the battery life goes pretty quick. The M17 I think out of FiiO’s DAPs have lasted the longest but then again it’s the biggest.

How would the FiiO M11 connect to my Alpine ILX, I currently connect Pixel 6 to USB or I have a Android Auto Dongle. I already have a sound processor but trying to get even better sound to the unit. Will this improve sound quality.

@CarAudioHorizons

Жыл бұрын

With any DAP you run it to your DSP for the best sound quality as it’s a source unit. Depending on which DAP and Which DSP you have would determine how you connect it to your DSP. Some DSP’s like mine which is the Helix DSP Ultra I can connect my DAP (FiiO M17) via analog input, or coaxial Digital input. Both those inputs sound amazing. I could also connect it a few other ways but the two I mentioned would give me the best sound quality. If you don’t have those options and I have no clue what DSP you have, then the last option would just be connecting your DAP via the auxiliary input. I talk about a lot of these connections in my other videos.

I could literally spend an hour on all the different scenarios, best just to watch my reviews on different products which I explain things.

I would ditch the alpine for an android headunit. Either a joying or a Teyes cc3. Connect the android headunit to your dsp with Optical (only if the dsp has 2 digital inputs like a Helix, otherwise connect via RCA)then connect the DAP to your dsp via coaxial. Install the Fiio Link app on your android headunit, and you will be able in theory to get the best playback possible with the fiio direct to dsp, but control the hidden away fiio from the android radio's screen - possibly even using the steering wheel controls. The Helix can do source switching so that if a phonecall comes in on the android deck while listening to the DAP, it will switch over to the audio coming from the deck then revert back to the DAP source after. This would be your best possible scenario to attain ultimate sound quality and the untouchable day to day features of an android headunit (which really do kick ultimate ass!) Cheers

@CarAudioHorizons

Жыл бұрын

I only did a review on the FiiO M11 Plus LTD and M11s, not the FiiO M11 Plus. The M11 Plus LTD which is no longer available, was the better of the three. The M11s is their worst DAP out of all of them for the vehicle especially out of the coaxial digital out, which the adapter no longer comes with the unit like It did with every FiiO DAP before it. The original M11 blows the doors off of the M11s out of it’s coaxial digital output. If I were you I would check out Hiby’s new R6 Pro 2 as it’s Android 12, 5.9inch 1080p screen and the latest AK DAC’s. It’s probably the best Mid Priced DAP out, or coming out right now and is about the same price as a FiiO M11 Plus which is old tech! I will probably bring the Hiby in for a review.
