World's biggest & most powerful Portable Music Player - the $1799 FiiO M17 DAP

FiiO's M17 is not only their new flagship DAP, and likely one of the best hi-fi music (mp3/flac) players in 2022, but also a fully-fledged desktop DAC/amp. I put it through its paces and compare it to the Cayin N8ii, FiiO M11 Plus and Chord Hugo 2.

I have been using Backblaze’s unlimited cloud backup to protect all my data — terabytes of it — for a flat monthly or yearly fee, for years. I highly recommend them as a backup solution.
