Yep a big difference, I do not need balanced out and find the sony walkman's too expensive really, this is a very good price and with Android 13....... I am tempted again :)

I keep telling myself not to buy any more audio players, but I may go against that and buy this player.

A video full of apologies lol It's okay, considering that professional audio reviewer may not necessarily know about the changes in the volume control of the M300, this is a mistake in our promotion. We will also improve on this!Hope everyone likes M300! David, thank you for the review!Also to @ozboylu

It takes a big man to admit they were wrong.😊 I'll definitely pick it up sometime soon now.

@ReinoldFZ 7 месяцев назад

Good for you to acknowledge the issue, although what puzzles me is that I think I have read DAP reviews in your web page. Anyway, a lot of smartphone reviews praising brittle glass backs as a "pro" instead of reliable and sometimes even better looking plastic, has made me aware that reviews have to be considered from the perspective of persons that necessarily have to spend a limited time with the device so some things slip.

@andy.w 7 месяцев назад

About the output jack, I think Shanling almost nails it with their M0 Pro. If only they're using a solid L plug adapter for their proprietary 3,5mm bal to the standard female 4,4mm bal included in the box and slapping the extra cost to the final price quietly. They can then keep the form factor while pleasing both the normies and the balanced crowd. What a missed opportunity.

@CLaudiusClemensJimmy 7 месяцев назад

@titmusspaultpaul5 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the update. Just wondering what a balanced headphone output does for the sound quality.... thanks.

@PrimeAudioReviews 6 месяцев назад

Balanced output gives you higher output power but also a cleaner signal and better instrument separation (but it's very minimal with short IEM/headphone cables).

@jaroslavfricek7772 4 месяца назад

I picked up the R3 2 and while I do like the device I have one little issue with Hiby Music app. I am a fan of shuffling songs by genre or artist and I have yet to find a way to do that without spending lots of time creating playlists. If that one change was made I would love the device. Pertinent to M300 because I’m sure the app functions the same.

@admgloval 7 месяцев назад

I was considering getting the R3 II but you are stuck with Hiby Music on that device and I am a big PowerAmp fan and have been using that on my Fiio M6 for many years now. Had tried out the Hiby Music app on the M6 but didn't care for the interface.

@luccianoroncatto 4 месяца назад

Hello, how can i connect the hiby to stereo receiver? The hiby doesn’t support line out from the 3.5 mm jack. Maybe using the USB-C port?

@PrimeAudioReviews 4 месяца назад

You could buy a Bluetooth receiver like KGUSS BL01.

@fermild3954 3 месяца назад

Can you recommend this for the sound quality for DAP within similar price range?

@PrimeAudioReviews 3 месяца назад

HiBy R3 II has a similar price but sounds better IMO. M300 has no balanced output but it has Android so you can load apps on it.

@koool56 5 месяцев назад

@@PrimeAudioReviews I actually got it and have almost 400gb of music on now, very neat little device, feels solid and responsive, sound as any other audio interface I ever used, nothing out of the ordinary, which is a good thing. I decided to get one when I got fed up with Spotify removing songs I love, or even worse censoring the shit out of them (Russian bands were forced to due to anti drugs laws), so this way I have all my favourite music with me, unaltered and in full quality.

Good. A big ol' Fiio can stay stay at home for IEM, headphone or connected to full size components. Just ordered M300 for real portable use to replace SONY NWA-105, several years old and hardy used at all, For its' poor battery life and SONY way of managing files into playlist thru sync with their software on PC.

hello there! How is the bluetooth performance on this device? Can you usee it as a receptor for a smart tv or PC, just like the qudelix 5k or fiio BTR5? Also, is it possible to use the M300 as a usb dac for a PC? I am considering going for a small android dap to replace my Shanling M0 pro, the tiny screen ended up being a dealbraker for me, otherwise its a great device. I am right now considering the M300 or the shanling M3X. Wich one do you guys think Its a better all round device to use as music player (flac files and spotify), Bluetooth receiver and USB DAC? I use mostly Iems like moondrop chu 2, 7hz dioko and ocasionally grado sr80x. Thanks!

To be fair, for a product like this they should ensure that media volume was maxed by default. This will certainly bamboozle some end users as well.

To me it still feels like an overpriced android phone wtihout the phone part. If it had android src bypass and a balanced slot I would happily buy it though

@admgloval 7 месяцев назад

I don't see it as overpriced considering even budget phones (New) are around $200 and most of those don't have a Snapdragon processor in them or even a processor with equivalent processing power. Also, good luck finding a phone smaller than 6 inches. Coming from my Fiio M6, this is a great upgrade! It honestly pisses me off that Samsung and most others have decided to stop putting microsd card slots in their phones as I would rather have just used my S21 as my DAP so to have an all-in-one device but it is what it is.

How is it compared to LG v60 LG v50 phone that have quad dacs and headphone jacks

@admgloval 5 месяцев назад

@@123benley No idea, I don't have any experience with those devices. For my use case, the type of DAC means little to me as I only use my player for Bluetooth streaming to my car or to a BT speaker. I dont listen to music with headphones or earbuds, both hurt my ears after a short period and I would rather just listen to the music through speakers.
