So I personally thought Fiio made this dap to compete with the Cowon Plenue D. Specifically on the battery life front. Considering most of Fiio's dap have less than 15 hours of play back. Still the shanling does make a case for itself but the plendue d 100 hours of play back never dies. I've accidently left the plenue d on playing in my car for a whole weekend and it was still going on Monday.
Yuvi Arora its has more play options plan the plenue d. Plus its probably more flexible on sd card size too. The plenue can only support up 128gb sd card. So if you want bluetooth and or slap a big 200gb plus card fiio is probably better. Outside of that shoot can't beat 24 hours of playback plus it sounds real good.
Yuvi Arora you'dhave to own both to know that for sure. At the 200 dollar range I can't imagine theres a much of difference. My last fiio dap which was an x1 wasn't nearly as good sounding as Cowon. I look at it like this the plenue d had no extra features just battery and sound. So you know exactly where the money went. What are the chances the fiio with it's long list of features sounds as good or better?
I just got the M7 (sealed from factory) and I couldn't experience all the "GOOD" things you said it has this so called HIGH RES player, and I used a brand new Bose headphones, I am going to returned it
So you start by reviewing the Fiio M7 then compare it something else. That's not how you do a review....and before you jump down my throat, I just purchased a M7 and really like it.
