A grand finale of high-end chips Out-of-print AK4497EQ DAC
The M11 Plus LTD is equipped with 2 of the now out-of-production AK4497EQ DAC chips with their unique, soft, and natural charm that will allow you to rediscover your music all over again.
The parameters above came from the chip. For specific parameters of the device, please refer to the parameter list.
Legendary octa-core Snapdragon 660 Smooth smartphone-like performance
In the M11 Plus LTD is a Snapdragon 660 with a 4 big / 4 small core architecture plenty capable of providing a smartphone- like smooth experience. Not only can the chip capably handle tasks like watching videos and playing games, it can also ensure ultra-low power consumption when only listening to music for better battery life.
Immersive live concert listening experience Neutrally pure amp architecture
Thanks to the feed-forward error correction technology and “neutral” design, the THX AAA-78 amps of the THX AAA Frontier series will let you experience every last sound and detail faithfully restored and placed in the soundstage, as if you were in the recording studio.
New anti-interference circuit design
The M11 Plus LTD adopts a totally new internal layout and a modular circuit design. Each module of the circuit has its own shielding cover, which also means that the digital and analog portions are totally separated. This ensures that these parts do not interfere with each other and ultimately results in purer sound.
Enhanced power supply
Rock on with heavenly sound
The front low-pass filter, small signal amplification, and amp expansion circuit each have their own independent power supplies – all for achieving a stronger overall power supply for better dynamics. Additionally, many measures have been taken to ensure excellent temperature management – including independent shielding covers of different components, use of customized thermal silica gel and graphene, and nickel silver heatsinks all to absorb and dissipate heat as needed. Rock on without actually worrying your device will burn!
All-new DAPS (Digital Audio Purification System) , 4th-gen FGPA + NDK femtosecond
crystal oscillator
Audio data is passed through a FiiO-developed 4th-gen FPGA with phase-locked loop technology, which works together with two custom Japanese NDK femtosecond crystal oscillators to provide a high-precision and low jitter unified clock source for the entire audio architecture. This is all done in the pursuit of purer sound.
Go wireless HiFi SBC/AAC/LDAC two-way Bluetooth
Besides support for AirPlay and DLNA streaming, newly added is support for the AAC codec for Bluetooth transmission and reception so that iPhone owners can also enjoy truly high fidelity wireless sound.
Bluetooth 5.0 transmission support: SBC/AAC/aptX/aptX-HD/LDAC/LHDC
Bluetooth 5.0 reception support: SBC/AAC/LDAC
FiiO's 6th-gen honeycomb design
The M11 Plus LTD inherits the well-received 3D cut designs of the M11/M11 Pro, while innovating with new hexagonal honeycomb design elements. The body and buttons of the M11 Plus LTD seamlessly come together in a design that is both exquisitely beautiful, yet bold and aggressive. This is one device that is sure to immediately catch your eyes.
Dazzling diamond cut textured back
Contrasting with the bold aggressiveness of the rest of the device is the delicate, exquisite diamond cut texture of the rear cover. Due to the refraction of light, looking at the back cover from different angles produces different looks for a gorgeous and delightful aesthetic.
New generation interactive intelligent volume system,
Unique all-in-one volume button + touch panel
Let go of the traditional volume wheel, and embrace the volume button + touch panel. Not only does this volume panel take up less space (leaving more for other components), it also brings an unprecedented volume change experience either through precise adjustments with buttons or by sliding on the touch panel. 5 volume adjustment methods supported: Sliding on panel, buttons, touchscreen, FiiO Link, and Bluetooth remote control
Insist on a better 5.5-inch
18:9 screen
Not all screens are created equal to a bezel-less one. The M11 Plus LTD has an upgraded 5.5-inch HD screen with even more gorgeous colors and an accurate color temperature. And its 18:9 screen ratio is the perfect combination of maintaining an excellent visual experience while making for a more comfortable grip.
Ready for 2.5/3.5/4.4!
Newly added balanced line-out
In addition to the 2.5/3.5/4.4mm headphone outs, a new 4.4mm balanced line-out is also added, allowing the perfect connection to many headphones/amplifiers in a single device.

Combining neutral clarity with a remarkably silent background, the M11 Plus LTD gives IEMs and headphones controlled, textured bass, natural mids and airy treble. ecoustics praised its balanced, revealing voice, while Giz Audio found its clean, analytical presentation ideal for hearing gear clearly. Android flexibility, three headphone outputs and USB-DAC capability complete a premium portable source.
What Reviewers Are Saying
Pros
Neutral, detailed sound with controlled, textured bass, natural mids and airy treble.
Exceptionally quiet background makes it an excellent match for sensitive IEMs.
Versatile connectivity includes 3.5 mm, 2.5 mm and 4.4 mm outputs, USB-DAC operation and Bluetooth receiving.
Drives a broad range of IEMs and up to 300-ohm dynamic headphones convincingly.
&
Cons
Output power is less generous than FiiO's M15 and may not suit the most demanding full-size planar headphones.
Substantial construction makes the player notably heavy for portable use.
The supplied case reduces button tactility and obscures the power-button LED indicator.
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 91/100
Reviewers consistently describe a clean, neutral-to-slightly-musical presentation with strong bass control, natural mids, airy treble and an exceptionally quiet background. It is praised for convincing drive across IEMs, planar IEMs and demanding high-impedance headphones, though its output is not positioned as the last word in portable power.
Transparency Resolution
92/100
Ecoustics found excellent vocal and instrumental resolution, while Giz Audio called the presentation extremely clean, analytical and more detailed than a separate desktop stack. PortaFi likewise heard improved treble layering, decay and overtone detail, although it noted that the player presents fine detail naturally rather than aggressively spotlighting every micro-nuance.
Tonal Balance Musicality
91/100
Ecoustics describes an unusually neutral DAP, with controlled, textured bass, no meaningful upper-bass bleed, sufficiently weighty mids and airy treble. There is a mild lower-treble lift and slightly forward top end, but reviewers did not find it hard, etched or overly sharp; PortaFi also heard a natural, subtly musical midrange.
Dynamics
90/100
Audiophilepure praises the THX implementation as powerful, dynamic, low-distortion and linear. PortaFi heard impactful, punchy bass with strong control and added dynamic energy, while Giz Audio found it drove demanding planar IEMs and the 300-ohm HD 800 well. One reviewer notes that it offers less outright output power than FiiO's M15.
Noise Floor
93/100
PortaFi reports a very good black background with sensitive in-ear monitors and no intrusive background noise. Giz Audio similarly found very little noise floor, and Z Reviews characterizes the THX-based background as effectively inaudible.
Headphone Compatibility
91/100
Giz Audio reports successful use with a wide range of IEMs, difficult-to-drive planar IEMs including the Tin P1, and 300-ohm Sennheiser HD 800 headphones. The quiet background also makes it a strong fit for sensitive IEM use, although its portable output reserves are more limited than higher-powered flagship players.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
93/100
Giz Audio calls the construction gorgeous and exceptionally well made, while Z Reviews also considers it among the best-built players it has handled. The substantial glass, steel and aluminum construction feels premium, but Z Reviews cautions that the unit is notably heavy and can be uncomfortable to carry.
Features Usability
93/100
The M11 Plus LTD combines Android app support with USB DAC operation, Bluetooth receiving and the ability to configure its outputs as pre-outs or line-outs. Its 3.5 mm, 2.5 mm and 4.4 mm headphone connections give IEM owners broad plug-and-play termination support, while the large touchscreen and two-way USB add to its flexibility as a portable or desktop source.
Value for Money
95/100
At the reviewed $699 price, Ecoustics found it competitively positioned against similarly equipped Shanling, HiBy and Astell&Kern players, with price advantages over some rivals. Audiophilepure goes further, calling it potentially the best portable solution in its price class because of its musicality, power and unusually broad set of use cases.
