08-08-2025I have had a Sony NW-A306 JP version since its release, but wanted something a little bit more. The M21 meets all my requirements for a new device: (1) a larger screen, so I can use it without reading glasses, (2) more battery-saving options, as in desktop mode, which bypasses the battery, (3) I can skip using my iFi Hip-dac 3 for 4.4mm balanced headphones, (4) more power, so I don't have to use the DAC, and (5) faster UI. I've been using it almost daily without any issues! This is my first Fiio product, and I'm pleasantly surprised by the responsiveness the company has with the community. It seems from the head-fi forum that the company rolls out new firmware every 2-3 months, which incorporates user feedback, super!Value for money:I've been looking at other devices, and based on reviews and my personal experience, I don't believe this can be beaten by currently released devices.Sound quality:Absolutely amazing!! I love my NW-A306, but the M21 sounds even better, all without a DAC :-)Quality:5/5 - seems built to last and comes with a pre-installed silicone wrap and screen protector. Feels solid and well-made.

08-08-2025Looks cool, sounds great (clear/smooth). Incredibly fast UI for a DAP. The global parametric EQ is everything.
