FiiO M21 High Resolution Portable Digital Audio Player

FiiO M21 High Resolution Portable Digital Audio Player, or DAP, lets you take your Lossless Audio on the go, in style, with lots of clean power for your headphones and fast, smooth access to all of your music streaming apps. Who is the JM21 for? The M21 portable high res music player is for someone who wants a better quality music experience, anywhere, anytime. While phones handle so many tasks today, they no longer have headphone jacks, often have limited storage and do not have specialized hardware, focused on providing audiophile music reproduction. M21 is compact enough to carry daily, you can stream all your apps, add storage for thousands of songs with the micro SD card option and it has the audiophile chops to make listening through it, special! What are the Key M21 features?: Snapdragon 6nm 680 processor Android 13 OS QUAD CS43198 DAC chips Choice of Blue, Black or Titanium Gold finishes Fully balanced 2-stage amplification Dual Type-C ports w/ 950mW Desktop Power 4.7-inch HD screen Single ended 3.5mm + Balanced 4.4mm headphone outs Selectable LO mode from 3.5mm jack Quad DACs for Audiophile Performance The M21's Quad CS43198 DAC array helps elevate its performance beyond other models and brings you an audio upgrade over the model below, the JM21. This lifts the performance up a category, with clarity, dynamics and separation you can hear from your IEMs and headphones. Stable, Fast, Open Operating System Running an open android system with Android 13 and FiiO's processor of choice for its latest DAPs, the 6nm Snapdragon 680, you can download apps, music streaming services and add a micro SD card to store thousands of songs for offline playback! The built in 64G storage is perfect for managing apps and for music playback so the M21 will provide a quick, reliable user experience for a $500 player! FiiO M21 has both a Single Ended 3.5mm and Balanced 4.4mm output on the top panel, for compatibility with either cable, no adaptors needed. Control buttons are on the sides while the micro SD card slot and dual usb-c ports are on the bottom. Optional Desktop Mode Power Take advantage of the innovative Desktop Mode when at home, for audiophile sound quality from your full size headphones, higher impedance models and even planar magnetic models. When the patented desktop mode is activated, the M21 becomes fully powered by an external USB-C power supply. The built-in battery is neither charged nor discharged, so you can safely use the player on your desk to enjoy higher power output, without draining the battery. Desktop Mode improves the longevity of the battery while giving you a better sounding, higher power output! When using Desktop Mode with “Super High Gain", the M21 switches to a high voltage supply with a massive output power of 950 mW (32 ohms). This delivers desktop-level performance, giving you better performance with over ear headphones and providing an exceptional listening experience - totally unexpected from a device that is so compact! The digital and headphone amplifier sections are each housed in separate partitions, with independent shielding covers for isolation. This reduces signal crosstalk and enables efficient heat dissipation for a purer sound. Slim Size and Long Battery Life The M21's 4000 mAh battery offers a long battery life of up to 15 hours, perfect for travel or daily use, without needing to charge every night. It supports 20W PD fast charging, so you can charge quickly when you need to via a PD charger, using the right-side POWER IN usb-c connection. FiiO M21 has some handy features added in that make it a pleasure to use. Set up the multi-function key the way you like, for faster access to your most used features - as shown in the photo below. M21 features outstanding build quality from a player in this price range. It has an all aluminum alloy body with a frosted glass back and feels surprisingly premium. The size is more compact than most new music players, making it easy to take everywhere and use on the go, still a nicely pocketable size. To offer you a little more sizzle!... FiiO offers a unique, exciting accessory with a retro flair. The optional matching SK-M21c $50 cassette style carry case transforms the look of the player into an old school cassette deck with chunky, clicky buttons! How does it activate? The three tiny pins on the rear of the M21 connect to the case and activate a cassette theme UI on the M21's screen, making it a complete and fun experience to use.
