FiiO M21

The FiiO M21 is a compact high-resolution audio player with an Android operating system that sets new standards in its price range. The fast Snapdragon 680 octa-core processor and 4 gigabytes of RAM ensure smooth operation of the Android system and all your chosen streaming service apps. The four CS43198 DAC chips convert all common digital formats up to 384 kHz at 24-bit, DSD512, and MQA x8. The M21 plays music either from its 64 GB internal storage or from an additional microSD card. You can use streaming services over Wi-Fi, play music via DLNA or ROON, and stream directly to the device from Apple devices using AirPlay. It offers a USB DAC mode for computers as well as an OTG mode as a streamer. Bluetooth functions both as a receiver, for example from a laptop, and as a transmitter, for instance to headphones or speakers. The M21 is comfortable not only on the go but also in a stationary setup, where it can showcase its capabilities. For this purpose, it features a desktop mode that operates bypassing the battery, thus preserving its longevity. As a player in a stationary setup, the unbalanced 3.5 mm or balanced 4.4 mm output can be used as line-out. The 3.5 mm output can also be utilized as a digital coaxial output. When connected to an optional USB-C power supply, it offers up to 950 mW of power for headphones in super high-gain mode. Even in battery operation, it delivers up to 720 mW, providing enough power to effortlessly drive demanding headphones. The package includes a pre-installed screen protector and a blue leatherette case, which protects the M21 from the very first moment of daily use. Its compact size, battery life of up to 15 hours, and multitude of options make the M21 a versatile all-rounder that you won't want to put down.
