A quick 1-hour charge gives 80% battery for 8.5 hours of music playback.

Digital Audio Purification System (DAPS) For Bit Perfect Audio

The FiiO M23 uses DAPS to maintain bit-perfect audio on its Android-based system. It bypasses default Android audio processing with a FiiO-developed high-fidelity core and low-jitter clock co-processor, ensuring precise clocking and preserving original sampling rates for PCM and DSD streams. This avoids audio downsampling, providing an authentic listening experience across apps and USB DAC mode.

Customise The Sound With The 10-band PEQ Settings

The FiiO M23 features a Global PEQ for customised sound, accessible in all modes. Its 10-band PEQ with FiiO's tuning algorithm allows precise adjustment of frequency points, gain, bandwidth and Q values. The ALL TO DSD function simplifies audio format enjoyment. These features enhance sound customisation, promoting audio exploration and a tailored listening experience. 

Tailored Music Listening Experience With Six Modes

The FiiO M23 offers six versatile operating modes: Roon Ready (pending certification), Android, Pure Music, USB DAC, Bluetooth Receiving and AirPlay. You can switch between these modes easily for a personalized music listening experience. It also supports DLNA streaming to access music from various sources, making it adaptable to different audio setups.
