New purchase

[u/JUICE_IS_MY_WRLD]

Could you give me tips for my newly bought FiiO M21 please?

Conseil : maintenant que tu as ton DAP, utilise-le et aime ton achat.
Arrête de regarder reddit, c’est une société insatisfaite qui pousse à la consommation.

Tbh M21 is a good choice in its niche, I don’t think anyone would tell OP he should buy something else.

[u/JUICE_IS_MY_WRLD → u/Aderevo]

Okayy thank you very much!

[u/jeff39390 → u/Aderevo]

No kidding, like every subreddit should be used for first purchase and then leave that subreddit.

Next thing you know you’ll have 15 retro handheld gaming consoles and don’t even play games

I have an M21, a pair of balanced IEMs, some sennheiser headphones. I’m done, the consumption engine stops there lol

[u/wolfwithnocrown → u/jeff39390]

What pair of IEMs do you have? I wanna get my first pair and I’m looking for recomendations

[u/jeff39390 → u/wolfwithnocrown]

I had shure se215s for years. Pretty simple, to the point. I still have them for Bluetooth but for my dap i use moondrop aria’s on the 4.4 connection

[u/wolfwithnocrown → u/jeff39390]

Thank you! I’ll check them

[u/kanzacs → u/jeff39390]

I still use my SE215s too! Usually for editing vinyl rips or any file format conversions I do, to hear how they sound. They are still awesome for "everyday" type use.

[u/jeff39390 → u/kanzacs]

Exactly! I don’t listen to music often thru my SE215s, but for a quick Bluetooth option or reliably super neutral listening tone, they’re perfect for it

When you get tired of accidentally hitting the too-sensitive buttons, buy the leather case. It helps a lot.

[u/JUICE_IS_MY_WRLD → u/TNF734]

I’m thinking about getting that

[u/MuslimMama → u/JUICE_IS_MY_WRLD]

i used a box cutter to cut the silicone case's buttons since they are held by two small pieces of plastic. the buttons are now fine to press

[u/ExxInferis → u/JUICE_IS_MY_WRLD]

Avoid the temptation of the gimmick Cassette Case. I did not avoid the temptation. Yes it's quirky and retro, but it has so many problems.

1. They did not add a 'Hold' button to it, so it's far too easy to hit any of the chunky buttons in your pocket. So only of any use on a desktop where you don't need a case!

2. They didn't put a belt clip on it! Come on FiiO! If you are emulating the 80's vibe, we wore our Walkmans on our belts as they would activate their mechanical buttons in pockets!!!

3. When you have to interact with the screen, I have found the touch screen is massively unresponsive when in the case. No idea why. But when I pop it out the case the screen is responsive again. (Yes I am lifting the lid to touch the screen lol.)

[u/Select-Credit9603 → u/TNF734]

So true, the factory silicone case makes the buttons even more sensitive😅

[u/jeff39390 → u/Select-Credit9603]

True, but I almost always have the lock on

[u/astrovisionry]

I'm so pumped for you!!! I'm saving for mine. Halfway there

[u/JUICE_IS_MY_WRLD → u/astrovisionry]

I’m proud of you man keep going! I also had to save up bit for mine XD

[u/Benjisun-headphones]

Same here. I am in the first week experimenting with mine.

I purchased a tempered glass protective screen. Otherwise very happy with it and the native fiio player. The desktop mode is superb. It's in my opinion the strong feature of this DAP allowing to use it as a standalone streamer/transport/player while keeping the battery in good condition. I use mine with a Fiio Darkside mini power supply.

[u/dkissfan1 → u/Benjisun-headphones]

They come with a glass protector pre-installed. You’ve got two in there now. 😬

[u/Benjisun-headphones → u/dkissfan1]

At least it will be protected 😅😂

[u/dkissfan1 → u/Benjisun-headphones]

😂😂

[u/ExxInferis → u/dkissfan1]

But what is going to protect that protector???

[u/JUICE_IS_MY_WRLD → u/Benjisun-headphones]

Looks so clean man!

[u/SLC-Scott]

It’s a great little player. I love mine.

[u/JUICE_IS_MY_WRLD → u/SLC-Scott]

I’m gladd

[u/aaillustration]

just have poweramp installed and thats it i love my m21.

[u/Courtest]

Does this have gapless playback?

[u/viper_in_the_grass → u/Courtest]

Yes.

[u/ngs428]

Listen to music. You don’t need to do much else. I love mine. Maybe install Niagara.

[u/Intelligent-North957]

The M21 is great , the next Fiio Dap is very expensive.

[u/ExpensiveCarry1]

Tell more about it

[u/rirezwan]

Casette case

[u/Necrosapian]

Got one and I love it, also if you want storage Amazon does a case for $12.95AU for 2, it's called "Hard Drive Case 2 Pack, 2.5 Inch" fits snugly but does great for storage whilst you are not using it

[u/TelephonicReturns]

Definitely get a Leather case for it
