FiiO M15 Portable Music Player

IMPORTANT NOTE

Due to the unfortunate fire at the AKM manufacturing facility in Japan, we have a very limited supply of this item. We urge anyone interested in this item to buy it while supplies last. Despite our very best efforts to get these products to customers as soon as possible, the impact of the fire on AKM’s operations may cause shipping delays. The AKM supply volatility will not improve until the end of April 2021.

The M15 is FiiO’s flagship digital audio player (DAP). Packing a home theater system worth of features into a stylish handheld, the M15 boasts a top-of-the-line digital-to-analog converter (DAC), MQA support, Japanese femto crystals, dual-band WiFi, and Qualcomm’s flagship bluetooth chip.

Blistering performance

The M15 features the Samsung Exynos 7872, a 2GHz, hexa-core processor that delivers lag-proof, frustration-free file transfers, track playback, and operation. 

The bleeding edge

The M15 features not one but two of AKM’s flagship DAC, the AK4499EQ. Capable of supporting sample rates up to 32-bit/768kHz and native DSD512, this 4-channel, 32-bit DAC is at the absolute bleeding edge of decoder technology. 

Silent backdrop

With a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 122dB, distortion as low as 0.0004%, and a noise floor as low as 2.1µV, the M15 presents your music on a completely silent sonic backdrop. No noise, no distortion. Nothing but music, plain and simple. 

Calling all cans

Whether you rock a pair of low-impedance IEMs or power-hungry planar magnetics, the M15 can handle them. With a balanced output of 280mW at 300Ω, it can drive any pair of phones you’ve got. 

Jitter eliminator

Jitter is this generation’s disc skip--it’s aggravating, intrusive, and could potentially ruin a listening experience. Okay, maybe it’s not as intrusive as disc skip, but it should be avoided at all costs. The M15 uses two custom Japanese femtosecond crystals, correcting drift in the signal timing to as low as -140Bc/Hz @ 1kHz. You can kiss jitter goodbye. 

Wireless wonder

Dual-band WiFi not only ensures better signal strength and stabler connections; by using a different band it avoids interference with Bluetooth altogether. WiFi and Qualcomm’s flagship Bluetooth chip team up to allow the M15 to work as a Bluetooth player/amp and interact with any other DLNA devices you own.

Customize for the win

The M15 features a mappable multifunction button, allowing you to customize the M15 to your preferences. Want to switch digital filters with one click? Or change the EQ? Or enter USB DAC mode? This button’s all yours.
