FIIO INTRODUCES THE ALL-NEW UPGRADED M11 PLUS ESS ANDROID DIGITAL AUDIO PLAYER
The wait for the all-new M11 Plus ESS is over. FiiO presents the upgraded FiiO M11 Plus ESS with ESS Sabre DAC chipset. The latest M11 Plus ESS is equipped with two high-performance ES9068AS decoding chips that deliver outstanding performance improvement over its predecessor. FiiO has brought several updates with the M11 Plus ESS variant, including a low-pass filter and dual THX AAA72 amp chips to match the ESS Sabre DAC chipset. The chipset is tuned to achieve high SNR ratings ensuring quality sound performance with cleaner background response. M11 Plus ESS has improved output power ratings, providing up to 588mW of clean output at 32Ω of load. FiiO M11 Plus ESS now has MQA rendering capabilities, providing you with full MQA support even in USB DAC mode. The battery life of the new M11 Plus ESS is also improved to give 11.5 hours of playtime so you can enjoy your music without interruptions.
UPGRADED WITH ESS SABRE DAC CHIPSET AND THX AMP MODULES FOR PRISTINE AUDIO
FiiO has upgraded the DAC chipset of the M11 Plus ESS digital audio player with two high-performance ES9068AS audio decoding chips. This new chipset is tuned and adjusted for achieving improved performance, even better than the AKM counterpart with better Signal to Noise Ratio and Distortion ratings. The careful tuning minimises distortion to 0.0001% for a highly accurate audio representation. M11 Plus ESS can natively decode DSD512 and PCM 768kHz files effortlessly. To support the DAC chipset FiiO has featured dual THX AAA-78 headphone amplifier modules for the M11 Plus ESS. These amp modules have a feed-forward error correction technology that lets you experience sound with detail with better output power and present a soundstage as the artists intended.
EXPERIENCE BLAZING-FAST COMPUTING WITH SNAPDRAGON 660 PROCESSOR + ANDROID 10
FiiO utilises the legendary and high performing Qualcomm Octa-Core Snapdragon 660 processor, coupled with high-speed 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage, enabling high demand multithreaded computations (audio or otherwise) to be performed in record time. The Snapdragon 660 processor features an architecture capable of providing a smartphone-like smooth experience, enabling you to watch videos and play games. This processor also ensures ultra-low power consumption and features an Adreno 512 GPU with a 14NM process to enhance the performance even further. With the FiiO M11 Plus ESS, you get to experience a super smooth user interface. All thanks to the almighty Qualcomm Octa-Core Snapdragon 660 processor. To add to this you get Android 10 OS as the base system, allowing you to download third-party apps and supporting gestures and dark mode.
FEATURES AN ANTI-INTERFERENCE CIRCUIT DESIGN WITH ENHANCED POWER SUPPLY
FiiO has carefully designed the M11 Plus ESS to deliver outstanding performance. To enable this, the M11 Plus ESS adopts an upgraded internal layout and a modular circuit design where each module of the circuit has its shielding cover to separate it from other modules. This design offers less electrical interference while keeping the digital and analogue portions isolated, ensuring the lowest electrical noise and delivering clean sound. M11 Plus ESS has also been embedded with an enhanced power supply, where the front low pass filter, signal amp and amp expansion circuits have their independent power supply. This helps achieve better dynamics and offers excellent thermal management on the device. Independent shielding has also been utilised with thermal silica gel, graphene and nickel silver heat sink to absorb and dissipate heat as needed.
ALL-NEW DIGITAL AUDIO PURIFICATION SYSTEMS AND INTELLIGENT VOLUME SYSTEMS
FiiO has equipped the M11 Plus ESS with their Digital Audio Purification System (DAPS), featuring a 4th generation FGPA and NDK femtosecond crystal oscillator. This system enables the audio data to pass through the FPGA with phase-locked loop technology, which works in conjunction with two custom Japanese NDK femtosecond crystal oscillators to provide a high-precision and low jitter unified clock source for the entire audio architecture. This system essentially achieves a jitter-free clean sound. Fused with this is the upgraded Carbon fibre volume panel which features a unique button + touch panel design. This new generation volume panel takes less space and offers precise volume adjustments with Five methods. You can slide on the panel, press the buttons, use the touch screen, FiiO Link and via Bluetooth remote control to change the volume.
GO WIRELESS WITH TWO WAY BLUETOOTH CONNECTION AND EXPERIENCE 8X MQA DECODING
The FiiO M11 Plus ESS offer Bluetooth 5.0 two way connectivity. Two-way Bluetooth connectivity allows you to stream your music from a smartphone or a tablet effortlessly with support for high-quality transmission codecs like aptX, aptX HD, LDAC, AAC and SBC, for a resolution equal or superior to CD quality in wireless mode. The M11 Plus ESS also offers support for DLNA and Airplay streaming. The processing power of the M11 Plus ESS allows for 8x decoding of MQA data and even MQA rendering in USB mode, reproducing the master quality from source files! With Bluetooth 5.0 and MQA decoding, you can connect to the M11 Plus ESS wirelessly and not lose any audio signal quality.
3 OUTPUT PORTS WITH 3 GAIN LEVEL SETTINGS, 5 OPERATIONAL MODES & DSD TECHNOLOGY
FiiO has designed the M11 Plus ESS to suit most users by offering multiple output ports, three gain level settings and five distinct operational modes. FiiO M11 Plus ESS houses three headphone output ports, 2.5mm, 4.4mm balanced and 3.5mm single-ended ports to connect various headphones. The M11 Plus ESS offers balanced line-out functionality with the 4.4mm output port to connect the M11 Plus ESS with amplifiers. To provide ample power, FiiO has incorporated 3 gain-level settings - low, medium and high, with each gain level offering 120 steps of control. This is perfect to use high-impedance headphones or even sensitive IEMs. The Device further offers 5 operational modes like Android mode, Pure Music mode, Bluetooth Reception mode, USB DAC mode and AirPlay mode for users to choose. M11 Plus ESS also comes with 3rd gen All to DSD technology which offers 30% lower power consumption and lowers unwanted harmonics for accurate sound with DSD512 native decoding.
DUAL HI-RES CERTIFIED DEVICE WITH PATENT WINNING IN-CAR MODE AND DEDICATED SHORTCUT BUTTON
FiiO M11 Plus ESS has been awarded dual certification for “Hi-Res Audio” and “Hi-Res Audio Wireless” for its ability to restore and preset audio in three-dimensional quality and supporting 96kHz/24Bit and LDAC protocols to deliver the highest quality sound wirelessly. The M11 Plus ESS has also been a National Patent completion winner for its exclusive In-Vehicle mode of operation. FiiO realised that a lot of people listen to music in their car and thus optimised the device to offer an audiophile listening experience. When connected to a car stereo system, the M11 Plus ESS automatically adapts the user interface to make the in-vehicle use safe and easy. FiiO has also embedded a highly customisable shortcut button that can easily switch operational modes, switch filters, play random tracks and much more. All this with just a click of a button.
