Hello there, I am looking for my first DAP purchase and I'm quite confused with all the different models and I am currently flip-flopping between an M11S, M11 Plus (both used - approx £350ish) and the M23 (£649). Would the M11 Plus be a good purchase at this sort of price?

I am going to use the player as a storage device for FLAC, stream Tidal as well as playing local FLAC, and to play music to a pair of Bowers & Wilkins PX8 (AptX HD BT codec a must).

Thanks for any advice!

Hey y'all,

I've decided that it's time to take a few steps to combat my ADHD and replace my iPhone with a DAP and a flip phone; the flip phone will basically only be used for calls, so I'd like for the DAP to be my main device.

Currently eyeing the Fiio M11 Plus ESS, with the Hiby R6 Pro II as my runner-up (still deciding whether 5-8 hrs of battery life is too little). However, I'd like to get some other recommendations around/under 700ish. A few things of note:

• Don't care about weight/size, in fact, the bigger the better

• Has to have decent sound (ie no known issues)

• System-wide PEQ preferred

• 10+ hours of battery life preferred

• Would not like to buy used

Thanks in advance.
