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 streaming service apps of your choice. 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. Through Wi-Fi, you can use streaming services, play music via DLNA or ROON, and stream directly to the device from Apple devices via AirPlay. It offers a USB DAC mode for computers as well as an OTG mode as a streamer. Bluetooth works 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 stationary, showcasing its capabilities. For this purpose, it features a desktop mode that operates bypassing the battery, thus preserving its lifespan. As a stationary player, you can use the unbalanced 3.5 mm or the balanced 4.4 mm output as line-out. The 3.5 mm output can also be used 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 of power, easily driving even demanding headphones. The package includes a pre-installed screen protector and a blue synthetic leather case, which protects the M21 from the very first moment in 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.
