Digital audio players are something of an outlier in this age of advanced smartphones incorporating technology like Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Sound platform. Is there still a need for a dedicated music player when smartphones can do much the same thing? Is the concept of the iPod dead?
The signals from digital audio files are decoded by the FiiO M23 into an analog waveform using twin AKM DACs. The analog signal is channeled through two THX AAA-78 amplifiers, resulting in a strong and muscular sound that has plenty of nuance. THX has made great strides in portable amplification and the amps used on this player are among the best available.
Because it is powered by Android, the M23 can access the Google Play Store to download all your favorite streaming apps. The player can also play music that’s stored locally on its microSD slot which can handle cards with up to 2TB capacity, which should hold a good number of chunky FLAC files.... The build quality of the M23 is superb and FiiO has supplied a clear plastic case to protect the player’s textured finish.
For those who want to use the FiiO M23 in battery mode, there is a 5,500mAh rechargeable battery on board. The charging mode is smart enough to vary the speed of the charging process when the battery becomes close to being fully charged. This process helps to prolong the overall life of the battery and works like a smartphone’s smart-charging function.
