Review: Exceptional fidelity from this giant ‘portable’ - I have been using the FiiO M17 for a couple of months now with a pair of Denon AH-D9200 (and occasionally the AH-D7200 and Sennheiser HD650) and I have to say I have been impressed from day one by the audio capabilities of the M17. I must stress that I don’t use any of the features, the Bluetooth and WiFi have never been turned on, I don’t use streaming services, I don’t watch videos, I haven’t downloaded any apps and so on. I have two 1TB micro sd cards filled with music varying from CD quality up to DSD256, with the variety ranging from death metal to chamber music to dub reggae to all kinds of folk and world music and beyond. The M17 is just so in control of the music, it produces an extremely low noise floor, stunning micro and macro dynamics, completely natural timbre, harmonic complexity, stunning decay of notes, wonderful spatial characteristics and a lot more besides. I recently added the iFi Power Elite which has taken everything up a few more levels, the realism, dynamism and the music’s power to shock and surprise is particularly impressive now. My only complaint is for some strange reason the M17 isn’t the best at proper alphabetising but this is a minor quibble for such a supremely capable music player. Highest recommendation.
Review: Dont purchase - Worked fine until after a week of no use, I tried to turn the unit on and nothing, dead. Tried charging and still nothing. After less than 6 months ownership this is very bad.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What can this do that a £50  one from amazon cant do that takes a 128gb card, plays flac files with bluetooth 5 or is it just snobbery.**
A: Quite honestly if you are asking this question then it’s not a device for you. I suppose a bit of snobbery may play a part but if you go looking you will find others that cast more than double this price. It is capable of driving headphones that the £50 player just couldn’t handle and will give you an audio experience on good headphones that the cheaper item just can’t match. However it will also ruin some music that has not been well mastered for you as you will hear how badly it was produced. If you are serious about your audio then you can get trapped into thinking that spending lots will make it all better and I personally think that a good quality set of headphones or IEM’s (that does not mean extremely expensive)will improve any devices audio enough for most people to enjoy even with inexpensive devices. A less expensive DAP like the FiiO M11and a set of FH5s with good quality music files say from qobuz will far improve your listening experience over a £50 mp3 player and some cheap single driver IEM’s with low rate mp3 files. If this all seems like just a waste of money then stick to your phone and some AirPods and be happy.

**Q: Has anyone had a problem with music tracks being played in wrong order?**
A: No, you may need to turn the shuffle of if that’s on, otherwise it may be that it’s playing in file order the way it was saved- alphabetically, or numerically. 
You may need to save file and rename them- via a laptop and then re transfer, or just save tracks in a new playlist of the way you wants tracks to play. 
Another solution is to try a different music app if you aren’t  happy with the way current app functions.

**Q: Sound quality is this better than m11 and m11plus I just want a better sound than those 2 is it worth the money?**
A: Yes

**Q: Is Google Play store installed?**
A: Yes it comes pre-installed!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best DAP I have ever had
*by E***C on 14 January 2022*

I had previously M15 in my stable, as I own planars had to go with something with even more power to properly drive them. Cant express how happy I feel, this DAP has even bigger stage, more natural sound, highs and lows extend way more, its a detail monster with so much more power under hood. Price considering what it offers is a bargain, this one is putting Astell Kern and Ibasso in difficult position, as they have nothing to put against this one especially at this price. Even with higher price they have nothing on a table like this as it offers deskop like quality in transportable device. Go for it, its an end game DAP🎧
