FiiO’s M11S has all the mod cons of a music player in 2023 – file support that extends to 32-bit/384kHz, DSD256 and MQA; access to music-streaming services (plus every other app on Android); and even a choice of 3.5mm, balanced 2.5mm and balanced 4.4mm headphone outputs. But it also goes the extra mile to become a bigger part of your music-listening life, thanks to its extracurricular duty as a USB DAC for your laptop, not to mention its ability to stream music to wireless headphones and speakers via Bluetooth (LDAC, aptX HD, LHDC) or AirPlay.
The M11S is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 660 chip (the same used in FiiO’s flagship M17), so it’s no surprise that every task we ask of the player is performed with haste and without issue.
