[Review] FIIO's core DAP that costs less than 100,000 yen.Not just DAC changes! "M11 Plus ESS" --AV Watch

With the spread of music distribution services and the number of live performances on YouTube has increased, the roles required for portable audio players (DAP) have changed.In addition to "the role of playing high -resolution files on hand with high sound quality", it is necessary to regenerate music and videos in high quality.Otherwise, the "significance of carrying DAP" will fade separately from your smartphone.

The player who seems to be the most matched to such a situation is FIIO's "".The price is open price, around 97,900 yen.Although it is a luxury model, it is not an Ultra high end, so you can't get it.It can be said that it is a FIIO -like DAP with excellent cospa.

The reason for the hot DAP is easy to understand if you know the DAP that appeared before.In fact, a player called "M11 Plus LTD" was released around last summer.There are two types of DAPs in different housing, aluminum Alloy housing sold around 99,000 yen, and Stainless Steel housing cost around 125,950 yen.

Loseless music distribution The strongest player!? Listen to Fiio "M11Plus LTD"

…… I wrote that these two models were limited to the M11 Plus “LTD”.Both of them were out of the sound quality, and they were multifunctional using Android -based OSs, so they were sold out again.

In the first place, the limited number was that it was equipped with the depleted Asahi Kasei Electronics DAC "AK4497EQ".In short, it was "DAP that I can't buy even if I want it."

And this time, "" appeared.You already know.Instead of Asahi Kasei DAC, the ESS DAC "ES9068AS" was installed, and "LTD" came off the name, making it a product that is not limited but continuously sold.And the actual sale is around 97,900 yen, which is more reduced than the M11 Plus LTD.The DAP that could not be bought was a new specification, and it was a bit affordable.

...... However, many people would think, "What, DAC is a minor change from Asahi Kasei to ESS?"I thought so too.No, it is certainly a minor change model as a standing position, but it is not a product that "I replaced only the DAC".The interior was quite guts, and when I listened, the sound was evolving at a surprising level, saying, "It's all different!"

Therefore, not only those who could not buy the M11Plus LTD, but also those who want to enjoy the music distribution service with good sound, and those who want to enjoy video distribution with high sound quality, are finished in DAP.
