Having recently impressed us with its mid-range FiiO M11S portable digital audio player, Chinese audio firm FiiO is back with a decidedly high-end offering for its next on-the-go device.
The new M15S portable player comes packed with two desktop-grade ES9038PRO digital-to-analog converters, with individual DAC chips dedicated to the left and right stereo channels.
Each chip makes use of four D/A converters for what FiiO claims to be extremely high-quality decoding, with the device able to support playback of audio files up to 384kHz/DSD256.
The new M15S also supports MQA, allowing listeners to directly stream Tidal Masters as well as MQA files stored locally, while further hi-res audio options come in the form of aptX HD Bluetooth, alongside LDAC and LHDC wireless codecs.
There’s onboard 2.4GHz/5GHz Wi-Fi allowing for support of Apple AirPlay and DLNA streaming, as well as compatibility with the increasingly popular multi-room music software platform Roon.
