cool story bro. This is a speaker amp.

Blasting some shoegaze on these off of my FiiO, quite insane how much punch these have at 70.

I love mine. I sticker bombed it and use it daily. Good job FiiO!

are you surprised? I mean...of course he's going to shill for the company he totally does not get any financial incentive from

I sold mine for $1500, fyi. Took a loss, but just had no use for it.

I also sold mine, you won't regret. Too many trade offs for such an expensive piece. Much happier with my FiiO. And it has a hold button.

It has taken me all day to finish all 31 songs and it's quite disappointing. So is the Pearl Jam album, argh. Cleansing my palette with Panopticon - The Rime of Memory on my FiiO M11 Plus ESS and IE900.

Yeah everything with Antonoff sounds the same.

oh yeah, she's actually really great. I'm tired of her being EVERYWHERE but I can't deny her music is really good especially considering the usual pop that is everywhere. New album is OK so far

Cayin RU7 -> Sennheiser IE900

I have a set of MartinLogan Theos running off of an old B&K class-A amp that gives 600w a channel. That and a BalancedForce 212 is all I need, I'm not sure how I would improve.

Okay, that hot sauce looks a little...um...well, I have a 2 year old, so I'll leave it at that. But, I LOVE hot sauce on eggs. Wife is Cajun and I'm Texan so we spice the hell out of everything!

These are really really laid back. I don't know what I was expecting, but I love how chill these are.

Would love to see a belt clip case for this thing.

The sheer volume difference between the SP3000 I sold and my new M11 Plus ESS is insane. I am very happy back with the FiiO. The A&K was just a disappointment in every category.

No apps crap battery life Lack of power… Obscene weight No hold button Buyers remorse for the 3000 was immense

Wowowowow…got some Khruangbin on the patio on the new Fiio and Monarchs… Further cementing my opinion the Sp3000 is overpriced for no reason…

10 is fine as long as I can always use UAPP and Arc.

After a little detour to an overrated Astell&Kern, I am back in the FiiO world and so happy. The M11 Plus ESS rules.

I don't have the Illiad, but I did get a Perseus at CJ Dallas...

Completely agree with all your observations. It is absolutely perfect for my desk at work now.

Will this last longer than 6 months without some sort of failure? That's the real question.

My experience with Hibys has been horrific. I just want functionality and good sound on the go for my IEMs, (my Monarchs & Dunus). My past FiiO DAPs have always provided me that.

Yup, and also headphones mess up your hair and you get makeup on the pads if you're a woman, lol.

I spent too much on a DAP when I bought the SP3000, recently sold it, and picked up a FiiO M11 Plus for my IEM use that's arriving today. I love my RU7 but the battery drain is horrendous on my iPhone. It's also funny as I get more into this hobby, I get more and more into IEMs. The A&K is too...
