Last Updated on February 1, 2022 by Anu Joy

FiiO, a Chinese brand popular for sound amplifiers, DACs, earphones and other sound equipment has announced its M11 Plus (ESS) Hi-Res music player in India. The M11 Plus was launched internationally in mid-2021 and finally reached the shores of India in 2022. The M11 Plus is a successor to the M11 Pro music player and brings a lot of improvements like a better mobile processor, Android 10 OS (Operating System), 5.5-inch touchscreen display, and more. 

FiiO M11 Plus ESS Features, Specifications

The FiiO M11 Plus ESS sports a  5.5-inch touchscreen display with 1440 x720 pixels resolution. The major change in the FiiO M11 Plus comes in the form of its processor. The M11 Pro was powered by Samsung’s Exynos 7872. The new FiiO M11 Plus player comes with a more potent Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC on the 14nm fabrication process. Although an old chipset, it should perform decently well in a portable music player. 

The music player gets two ES9068AS DAC chips, which promise a clear and natural sound experience. It is also equipped with dual THX AAA-78 amplifiers belonging to the THX AAA Frontier series for enhanced audio output. The M11 Plus supports decoding MQA tracks in 8x mode, allowing to pack in high-quality sound with high sampling rates in relatively small file sizes. Thanks to its third-generation ‘All to DSD Technology,’ the energy efficiency is up by about 30 percent over the previous generation.  It comes with a 10-band EQ  (±12dB), 8 presets+custom preset, and supports custom EQ settings. 

The FiiO M11 Plus ESS music player comes with 2.5mm, 3.5mm, and 4.4mm headphone outputs. It features a two-way Bluetooth supporting  SBC, AAC, APTX, APTX-HD/LDAC codecs. Other connectivity features include two-way USB Type-C, USB Audio/DAC, SPDIF output, 2.4/5G WiFi, DLNA, FiiO Link, and AirPlay support. The music player comes with a 6000mAh battery under its hood, which promises to deliver up to 11.5 hours of audio/video playback. It supports Quick Charge 4.0 and can be changed fully in 3.5 hours. 

FiiO M11 Plus ESS Price, Availability

The FiiO M11 Plus player is available at a price of ₹52,740 on FiiO India’s website. The brand says it will be available for purchase via leading online and retail stores soon.
