Question about FiiO M5
Hello, does anyone know how good the audio quality is when using the FiiO M5 as a music player via Bluetooth? For example, when used with Airpods Pro? Is the quality about the same as when you play music from your smartphone via Bluetooth? Thank you very much for the feedback.

Hello
I have the Fiio M5 with my Bluetooth headphones (no Airpods) and with the Bluetooth speaker and experienced very good sound reproduction. For me, better than via mobile phone.

The Airpods Pro sound audibly better with the same recordings on an iPhone SE than on the FiiO, which is probably due to Apple's proprietary processes. On the other hand, a Sony WH-1000XM3 sounds significantly better than the Airpods Pro on the FiiO M5. This is probably due to different transmission methods: the display is always set to S (SBC) on the Airpods Pro, and sometimes to L or even A on the Sony, depending on the source or coding of the music. Airpods Pro on the FiiO M5 sound very poor and only work for me as a stopgap solution.
