Description
The palm-sized M5 Ultra-Portable High-Resolution Audio Player from FiiO is packed with processors that are engineered to deliver a high-resolution audio experience when on the go. The Ingenic X1000E processor is geared to provide low power consumption without sacrificing performance. The M5 can provide up to 13.5 hours of playback via Bluetooth. Sound quality is taken care of with the AKM AK4377 DAC, which supports native DSD and decoding of PCM and DSD formats with low noise and distortion.
Additional chips include the AXP192 for multi-channel power management, and the Qualcomm CSR8675 Bluetooth chip, which is made to provide lossless playback over Bluetooth. Speaking of which, the M5 is both a Bluetooth receiver and transmitter. When paired with a smartphone, the M5 gives you the ability to make and receive hands-free Bluetooth calls. Dual built-in microphones with cVc technology helps cancel out ambient noises for a clear conversation.
Color Touchscreen with Gestures
The double-sided 2.5D curved tempered glass helps to provide a stylish and durable covering for the 1.54" IPS touchscreen display. Navigate the M5's UI and manage music playback with a tap, or by using specific gestures.
Palm-Sized Portability
The small size of the M5 makes it incredibly easy to take with you. It's less than 2" square, 0.5" thick, and weighs only 1.3 oz.
Wired Audio Output
In addition to streaming via Bluetooth, you can output audio from the M5 via a variety of methods. You can output audio via USB at up to 384 kHz/32-bit and DSD128 quality. USB Audio also supports DoP/D2P output. You can output via asynchronous USB DAC, which also has support for 384 kHz/32-bit and DSD128 quality. Finally, the M5 supports headphone, line, and coaxial out.
7 Equalizer Presets
Seven built-in equalizer presets let you quickly adjust the audio settings to your favorite style of music. You can choose from rock, classical, jazz, pop, dance, vocal, and metal.
All-Day Battery Life
The built-in 550mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 10.5 hours of playback via wired headphones, up to 13.5 hours via Bluetooth, and up to 22 days of standby time.
USB OTG Compatible
If your smartphone is USB OTG compatible, you can hook up the M5 to your smartphone to transfer files and save on storage space, or transfer music to the M5 for playback.
