Use both with neutron, exact same settings/peq (32bit 384khz) they are very similar, a little more power on cayin and seems a little more fatiguing. Speed is the same, Fiio is lighter and a bigger screen (i use at the gym). I'm forever turning the cayin on without knowing it with that huge power button and flattening the battery, the fiio is less than half the price. This view may change with future cayin modules.

*edit Cayin now sold

You work fast lol. The M11 sounds too clinical and hissy with my Solaris unfortunately-- the N6ii has a much better synergy with it.
